Pacific Branch Presenter Information

Oral Presenters (Submitted)

Presentations should be created in a format compatible with PowerPoint (.pptx). All meeting room computers are PCs, so presenters who create presentations using a Mac should test their files on a PC prior to the meeting.

Presenters of submitted talks are expected to upload their presentations no less than two hours prior to their scheduled session. A computer for presentation uploads will be located at the Registration Office during the following times:

Sunday, April 12, 2026: 2:00 PM - 6:00 PM, Registration Office
Monday, April 13, 2026: 7:30 AM - 4:00 PM, Registration Office
Tuesday, April 14, 2026: 7:30 AM - 4:00 PM, Registration Office
Wednesday, April 15, 2026: 7:30 AM - 9:00 AM, Registration Office

Naming Method: Your presentation should be named with your presentation number (to be assigned in the online program by early March), last name, first name.

Presenters who fail to upload more than two hours prior to their session may upload in the session room as long as it does not impact the timing of the session or any other presentations.

Presenters that have been invited to speak in a symposium should work directly with their organizer to get the presentation added to the session room.
