WINTER CONFERENCE ON BRAIN RESEARCH

Panel Presenters

Onsite Helpful Information for Presenters

  • All presenters will be responsible for bringing their own laptop with the appropriate connectors. The projector connectors are HDMI; however the hotel will have a few adapters for those that don’t an HDMI port.
  • Please arrive to your presentation room 20 minutes prior to the start of the session to ensure the AV techs can assist you if needed.

 

  • Panels should have a cohesive theme and cover a cutting-edge aspect of Neuroscience. Presentations that span multiple levels of analysis and/or have translational themes are highly encouraged.  Durations are 1.5 or 2 hours. Each panel must have a chair and a minimum of 3 speakers. 1.5 hour panels typically consist of 3-4 speakers. 2 hour panels typically consist of 4 speakers, but can include up to 6. A co-chair is optional.

  • Short Courses  should introduce a topic or technique to non-experts, addressing its foundations, strengths, and limitations. There should be ample time for questions, and opportunities for hands on participation are encouraged. They are 1.5 hours with 3-4 speakers.

  • Workshops are intended to bring people in a field together to discuss, more informally, controversial ideas and findings. To encourage discussion in this format, slide presentations should be limited (1-5 per panelist) and more audience participation should be expected. They are typically 1.5 hours with at least 4 panelists.

  • Panel, Short Course, Workshop Chairs* – You will create an overall session proposal. *If you are also speaking in the panel, you must also add yourself as a PRESENTER.
      • This proposal includes:
        • Overall panel title
        • Theme(s)
        • Presenter names and emails
        • Overall panel abstract (2000-character limit)
        • 3-5 keywords that are highly relevant to the panel topic (to help facilitate review and avoid scheduling overlap)
        • Diversity statement (Diversity takes many forms: race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, nationality, disability status, professional seniority, type of home institution, scientific background, financial background, educational background, etc. Diversity can also refer to multiple levels of analysis and including basic, clinical, and translational research approaches in a panel proposal)
        • Your participants will receive a notification to provide their presentation title and complete their financial disclosure once they have been added to the proposal. Your session proposal is not complete until all participants have submitted their title and disclosure. It is your responsibility as Chair to confirm these tasks are completed before the deadline.
