ORAL PRESENTATION GUIDELINES

  • Oral presentations involve a 10-minute presentation with 5 minutes for questions.
  • All oral presentations must adhere to the session schedule.
  • All oral presentation speakers must load their PowerPoint presentations onto a Central Server (additional information to be provided prior to the meeting).
  • The use of personal laptop computers or 35-mm slides are prohibited.

Oral Presentations – General Information

Oral presentations will occur Monday, June 8 – Thursday, June 11, 2009. Oral presentations involve a 10-minute presentation with 5 minutes delegated for questions. Because the meeting is multi-tracked and attendees will be moving from track to track, it is imperative that sessions remain on schedule. All oral presentation speakers are required to load their PowerPoint presentations onto a central server located in the Speaker Ready Room (Room 603 in Washington State Convention and Trade Center). Personal laptop computers or 35-mm slides are not allowed. Technicians will be available to help speakers download presentations on-site or answer any questions.

A detailed list of oral presentations will be included in the SLEEP 2009 Final Program.

Confidentiality

All presenters are required to follow professional guidelines for patient confidentiality. No photos, names, records, or other patient identifiers may be included in oral presentations unless appropriate approval is obtained.

Ethical Studies Involving Human and Animal Studies

Findings included as part of an oral presentation from protocols involving human subjects must have been approved by an appropriately convened Institutional Review Board for human subjects, unless exempted by the Department of Health and Human Services regulations for the protection of human subjects. An appropriately convened Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee must have approved presentations from protocols involving animals. For presentations based on research conducted outside the United States, comparable guidelines for the use of human and animal subjects should be followed.
