ST&D 2018: 28TH ANNUAL MEETING OF THE SOCIETY FOR TEXT & DISCOURSE
Presenter Instructions

 

INSTRUCTIONS FOR SPOKEN PRESENTATIONS

  • There will be a PC computer available for presenters to load their presentation onto prior to each session; PowerPoint is strongly suggested. Presenters should bring a final presentation on a USB flash drive to the room at least 10 min before the session begins, and the Chair of each session will be there to assist. Be sure to double check any presentations created on a MAC for acceptable compatibility with PC PowerPoint.
  • If you are bringing your own presentation laptop, we ask that during the final minute of questions of the previous talk the next presenter get their laptop setup for the next presentation.  This should ensure a smooth transition to the next talk. The Chair of each session will be able to assist with this as needed.
  • LCD projectors will only have VGA/DVI connections available. If you use a MAC laptop you should supply your own VGA dongle. 
  • Unless otherwise indicated in the program, speakers are allocated 20 minutes for presentation and questions. The recommended format is 15 minutes for the presentation and 5 minutes for questions, but each presenter may decide as to how they would like to allocate their 20 minutes. However, please be aware that to remain on schedule, any presentation that goes up to 20 minutes will not be granted any time afterwards for questions. Presentations that exceed 20 minutes will be ended by the Chair if necessary.
  • The Chair of each session will keep exact speaking time and will signal speakers when they have 5, 3, and 1-minute remaining within the 15-minute speaking window.  For the questioning portion, the Chair of the session will moderate and will let you when you should take the final question.
  • If you have any additional requirements or questions regarding your spoken presentation, please let us know at std2018@easychair.org

 

INSTRUCTIONS FOR POSTER PRESENTATIONS

Poster Printing & Delivery 

We are pleased to offer local poster printing and delivery to the Brighton Hilton Metropole by Print and Sign (http://www.brighton-hove.gov.uk/) for $30.00 per poster. Poster printing must be 1) purchased through the ST&D website prior to the deadline (https://societyfortextanddiscourse.wildapricot.org/event-2969444) and 2) the .PDF file uploaded to the ST&D 2018 Poster Dropbox (https://www.dropbox.com/request/2SZnVCIBJBMJ6bu5JBvD) using the size and naming convention detailed below by 7:00 AM CST / 12:00 PM GMT on July 9, 2018.

Poster Dimensions

Posters should be designed in landscape format and sized as 48” x 36” (121.9 cm x 91.4 cm). To aid printing, posters should be prepared using the PowerPoint template included below, which is sized correctly and includes trim marks in all corners and a 5-mm bleed space to aid in poster printing.

 

Poster Design Guidelines

  • Authors should download the template below and design their poster in PowerPoint without crossing outside of or moving the grouped trim marks in the corners and a margin of 10-15 mm inside of the trim marks where text should not be placed. Text may be cut off if it touches the very edge of the page.
  • Any non-textual background color or image (such as a university footer, see example) should extend to the full width of the template past the trim marks.
  • Poster files should be saved as: YEAR – AUTHOR LAST NAME - AUTHOR FIRST NAME.PDF. For example: 2018-MENSINK-MICHAEL.PDF. If submitting more than 1 poster, use 2018A/2018B, etc.
  • The Society for Text & Discourse has adapted our poster guidelines from the Psychonomic Society (https://www.psychonomic.org/page/posters). Please visit this link for useful tips on poster creation and presenting a poster to an audience.
