Eastern Branch Presenter Information

Oral Presenters

Presentations should be created in a format compatible with PowerPoint (.pptx). All meeting room computers will be PCs, so a presenter who creates a presentation using a Mac should test the file on a PC computer prior to the meeting.

Student Competition 10-min Presenters:

Student competitors must provide their presentations to the Student Competition Chair, Brenna Traver, by 3:00 PM Saturday, March 9. You will not be able to upload your presentation on the day of the session. Presentations must be submitted electronically. You will receive an email from Chrissy that contains a OneDrive File Request for presentation submission. You will not be able to upload your presentation on-site at registration. Brenna and Chrissy will be available near the conference registration desk in the lobby of the Agricultural Sciences Building from 3:00 - 5:00 PM on Saturday, March 9. This will be the only time available for student presenters to preview their presentations prior to the session.

Any questions regarding student competition presentation uploads can be directed to Chrissy Dodge.
