Presenter Guide and Reminders

The purpose of the ASHE Presenter Guide is to share important information to consider when developing presentations for and presenting at the General Conference and Pre-Conferences. 

Presenters, including chairs and discussants, are encouraged to review this guide ahead of the conference for the latest information about your presentation type.

Audio/Visual Reminders:
Each breakout room will include a projector, screen, and laptop. To help ensure the accessibility of the session, please use the laptop provided. Laptops are pre-set with captions turned on in PowerPoint. Presenters must have live captions enabled as they are needed by attendees.

• Presenters should have their PowerPoint Presentations on either a USB drive or online (we recommend both).
  
  
• Breakout rooms will also include microphones for audience members and presenters; microphones should always be used in breakout rooms with no exceptions.
  
  
• Presenters should not be Zoomed in to sessions as attendees or presenters. This limits the accessibility of the event as audio and video may not be able to be connected properly during the session.

To support our scholarly community’s accessibility commitments—including live captioning in every session—please use the provided room laptop for your presentation. Each laptop comes pre-set by our A/V team with PowerPoint and internet access. To ensure a smooth experience for all presenters and attendees, please do not disconnect the provided laptops.

Friday's Schedule at a Glance

Time	Event
6:45am	Convention Center Doors Open! For this year's conference, we'll host nearly all events at the Puerto Rico Convention Center. It's a beautiful and large facility. It's also a public facility owned by the Commonwealth Government. As such, there are a few things different as compared to past conferences: Just as we'll all do in airports on the way to San Juan, all attendees, speakers, and guests must pass through security checkpoints upon entry. Please add a few extra minutes to your arrival time to the Convention Center, especially in the morning.  Small personal snacks (e.g., granola bars, nuts) and empty, reusable water bottles are allowed through security checkpoints. Refill stations are located throughout the Convention Center. The convention center features in-house concessions, portable food stations, and coffee outlets.
