Paper Presentations

(Abstract submission deadline: October 21, 2004)

Twenty minutes will be allotted for presentation and discussion of each paper. Visual aids can greatly enhance communication when they are used properly. Tables and charts prepared for publication are rarely satisfactory in a short oral presentation. Illustrations should be legible when viewed on a screen from a distance of 100 feet. Charts project better than tables. Complex tables and detailed maps are more effective when distributed as handouts than when projected on a screen. The use of maps is encouraged, because many people in the audience will not know the locations of all places to which you refer.

The AAG provides LCD projectors, 35mm carousel slide projectors, and overhead projectors in all of the meeting rooms. Participants must furnish their own computers and slide trays. Any AV needs other than the standard options mentioned, must be arranged by the attendee at her own expense. If you require AV equipment that is not listed, please contact Oscar Larson olarson@aag.org.
