Oral presentations will be limited to 15 minutes with an additional 5 minutes for discussion. Poster presentations will be displayed throughout the meeting, and highlighted during a poster session.

All presenters must be or become a NEERS member. Information on becoming a member is included on the pre-registration form, or at JOIN NEERS.

Instructions for Preparing Abstracts

All abstracts have a 1750-character limit (about 250 words) including spaces. The character limit applies to the body of the abstract only, the authors and titles are excluded from the limit. All words in the title should be CAPITALIZED. Author(s), address(es), and presentation title must appear in the proper format. Use footnotes to minimize the space for addresses when multiple authors are from more than one institution. Include full name, e-mail address, and telephone number of presenting author. Even if you would prefer an oral presentation, please consider checking the “oral preferred but poster okay” option if you are willing to present a poster instead. This greatly facilitates final scheduling.

Please indicate on the web submission form if you are submitting your abstract for presentation in the special symposium. Symposium speakers will be invited, see the Special Symposium page for more details.

A confirmation page will be printed immediately upon successful submission of your abstract to the NEERS website. If you do not receive this confirmation page please resubmit your abstract. Contact the web master, , with recurring problems. Following the deadline for submitting abstracts, all submissions will be confirmed by the program chair and the lead author will be notified of his/her scheduled time. Contact the with questions.

PowerPoint Presentations

The conference computer (PC) will use PowerPoint 2007. Please be sure to check your presentation for compatability with this version.

We will load all PowerPoint presentations onto an IBM-compatible laptop well before each session. Please bring your PowerPoint presentation on a USB thumb drive to the projection desk at the NEERS meeting. We will load your presentations the evening before your talk. Please make sure your file can be read by another computer before you hand it in. Speakers should not plan to use their own computers for their presentations.

For presentations that include graphics or media other than standard PowerPoint slides (e.g., complicated animations or embedded video clips; photographic slides or overheads), authors will need to make additional arrangements. Please contact the webmaster, , for more information.

Poster Guidelines

Presenters are expected to be present during the dedicated poster viewing session on Friday.

The maximum poster size is 48” x 72 ”. Easels will be provided for posters. Tape or tacks will be provided.
