Presenting at the 50th Annual meeting of the Human Biology Association
March 12-14, 2025 | Baltimore, MD, USA
Podium Presentation Guidelines
Podium presentations are limited to 12-14 minutes to allow for ascending/descending the podium. 12 minutes leaves for 2–3 minutes for questions.
Flash talks are recommended to be ~6 minutes to allow for ascending/descending the podium; time for questions may be available at the end of the session.
In-person technology: IBM-compatible PCs will be at the podium for projection of PowerPoint or Adobe Acrobat files. You may not use your own PC. You must bring your file on a USB drive. Save files such that they can be read by a variety of PCs, in both .ppt and .pptx formats. Mac-users must add the .ppt or .pptx extension to the filename. Under Page Setup, the presentation should be set to “On-screen show.” If you use PowerPoint’s “Pack and Go” feature, have the original .ppt file available on USB device just in case. To detect compatibility “issues” and avoid podium panic, virus check your entire USB device, and check your presentation on an IBM-compatible PC other than the one used to prepare the presentation. Many people also save a .pdf copy of their presentation although animations will not work in this format. Please arrive 15 minutes before the start of the Podium Session to upload your presentation.
