PBRN Oral Presentations
Oral presentations are presented consecutively within a designated block of time (usually 60 to 90 minutes) in assigned breakout rooms of the conference hotel. Presenters will receive details on their specific date, time, and room location as we get closer to the conference.
As an oral presenter, you have a maximum of 15 minutes to share and discuss your research with attendees. Sessions are moderated to ensure all presenters get an equal amount of time.
Preparing Your Oral Presentations
As an oral presenter, you have up to 15 minutes to share and discuss your research. We recommend you structure your presentation as follows:
- 8-10 minutes for presentation
- 3-4 minutes for Q&A
- Use of slides is encouraged. Presenters are welcome to use the NAPCRG-provided PowerPoint template if desired.
- If your presentation includes a video or other multimedia, please embed the file into your presentation. This will increase your file size, but links can break, preventing your video’s use.
