Session Timing and Notes

All sessions are scheduled for 55 minutes unless otherwise noted. Below is a guideline for your session, but feel free to change up the flow if needed.

• • 15 minutes prior to session:  Find your session room and start setting up; prepare and test technology with MISBO staff
  • First 2-3 minutes:  A volunteer will wait for any stragglers to join the room, then they will introduce you
  • 45 - 50 minutes:  Your presentation
  • 5 - 10 minutes:  Discussion and Q&A

Download any videos for your presentation ahead of time, rather than using the internet. It is best not to rely on internet during your presentation.
