Congratulations, and thank you for presenting at the 2024 Strategic Enrollment Management Conference.
We are appreciative of you sharing your professional knowledge to the AACRAO community. Please note the following tips, reminders, and resources as you prepare for the SEM Conference:
Presenters must use the laptop provided by the onsite AV company for their presentation. Personal laptops cannot be connected to the projection or audio equipment and onsite technicians cannot provide support for equipment not provided by the onsite AV company.
Presenters must upload their presentation materials to the Presenter Portal before October 18, 2024. The AV company and AACRAO staff require adequate time to review materials and prepare the on-site platform so presenters can access their session materials onsite. Presenters who do not upload materials by the deadline cannot be guaranteed projection of their presentation slides in their session room. Presenters may bring a thumb drive of an updated version of an already-uploaded file to the Speaker Ready Room when they check in with the AV team (minimum four hours in advance of their session start time).UPLOAD REQUIREMENTS:
Submitting Videos:
Download the AACRAO branded PowerPoint template for your session presentation. The template is provided as a resource for presenters; it is not required for use.
Fonts: Avoid using custom or licensed fonts (aka fonts that have been downloaded from the internet.) Custom fonts used in PPT decks (those not included in Microsoft Office 2016), must be provided three business days in advance of the due date for testing.
We recommend creating all decks in PowerPoint. If slide decks were created on an Apple computer or in Prezi and then exported to PowerPoint, please check to make sure all formatting was exported correctly before submitting.
All presenters must check into the Speaker Ready Room at least four hours before presenting. AACRAO will provide networked presentation computers in all meeting rooms. You may not use your own laptop for your presentation. When checking in with the Speaker Ready team, bring the final version of your presentation file(s) on a thumb drive.
The purpose of the check-in with the AV team is to verify your presentation is formatting properly. When you are in the Speaker Ready Room, open your presentation on a provided laptop. Click through each slide to be sure they are what you expect while delivering your presentation.
