Types of Presentations

Standard Presentation

This type of presentation typically involves one or two speakers who present information on their topic of choice with the use of PowerPoint slides and/or other medium residing on the laptop or the web. Each presentation room is equipped with a projector, screen and high-speed line to the internet. 45 minutes are allowed for this kind of presentation. This kind of presentation constitutes the majority of slots on the conference program.

Panel Presentation

This type of presentation typically involves a moderator and three or four panelists with extensive experience or knowledge related to the panel topic. The moderator and the panelists generally are from distinct organizations (e.g., they are not from the same company, university or government agency). The moderator acts as the Emcee and proposes questions to the panelists as well as relaying questions from the attendees. 1 hour 30 minutes are allowed for this kind of panel presentation. During the course of the conference, 3 to 4 panel presentations will be accepted for inclusion in the program.

Pre-Conference Tutorials

These presentations take place the day before the regular conference program begins. The format for these programs is three hours in duration with a ½ hour break in the middle. This kind of presentation tends to be in greater depth, more hands on, and slightly more technical in nature. Tutorials usually involve a tutorial leader and an assistant presenter. Typically, SALT will run 6 ½ day pre-conference tutorials.
