General Information
Live demonstrations will provide an opportunity for companies or individuals to demonstrate
the use of a technology, software, and/or tool in hands-on demonstration, or user experience in a staged area separate from the session rooms.
Proposals will be evaluated and, if accepted, the designated point-of-contact will be contacted with scheduling information. Selection decisions
will be based on the best overall design of the Conference program. Demonstration dates and times will be assigned after all proposals have
been received.
Final presentation length and a timeline of required due dates will be communicated to the point-of-contact upon acceptance. In general, live
demonstration presenters should plan for approximately 20-minute presentations and appropriate number of accompanying PowerPoint® slides.

Content, Set-Up/Tear-Down, Materials Provided, and Registration
Content. The Live Demonstration stage is not intended to be a sales platform. If you will be presenting a product,
software, tool, technology, etc., that is sold by your company, company subsidiary, or client, please focus the presentation on teaching
attendees how the product is used in the field and/or how it applies to the science. While a minimal amount of sales and marketing content
is acceptable, it should not be the focus of the presentation. A few minutes of your demonstration time should be made available for
audience Q&A.
Set-Up & Tear-Down. Presenters are responsible for set-up and tear-down of their materials within their allotted time
slot. Presenters must use the designated show decorator/contractors for any required freight storage or delivery, or equipment rental.
Materials Provided.
- A digital projector, wireless mouse, and projection screen will be provided. Laptop not provided. Presenters should
utilize their own laptop, if needed, for demonstrations.
- Display table with hard-wired internet access.
Registration Required. Live Demonstration presenters must be registered for the Conference.
