Presentation slides
Please prepare your slides in 16:9 widescreen ratio. To ensure a smooth running of the conference, we ask you to please provide your slides in either PDF or pptx format to the organisers before the conference — DEADLINE: 21 October 2022.
Provision of your presentation slides
As we are running the SPARC GA in a multi-hub format which requires a little more coordination than ‘standard’ meetings, we do need your presentation slides in advance of the conference. To ensure that we have everything set up and ready, we need you to email your slides (PDF or pptx format only please) to sparcGA2022@sparc-climate.org no later than 21st October 2022.
For online presenters, please note that you can present live but the AV technician will share and advance your slides. You will need to indicate to the AV technician when to move on to the next slide. This will ensure smooth running of the meeting without delay due to technical difficulties.
Event platform
All SPARC GA information will be published on our event platform; this replaces the traditional conference handbook. You will be allocated a presentation page on the event platform which will contain your abstract, photo, and biography. Everyone has the option of providing a photo and a short bio/introduction (max 200 words) for your page. This could be a useful way to introduce yourself to the online community. If you would like to have us include this onto your presenter page, we will need the material (photo + bio/intro) as soon as possible but no later than 9th October.
A recording of your talk and your presentation slides will be published on the presenter page (PDF format) after you have given your talk. If you would like to provide a modified version of your presentation for publication on the presenter page or would not like your slides be made available on the event platform, please notify sparcGA2022@sparc-climate.org. As we will have several people attending online and participants at other hubs, we would appreciate you making use of the event platform to interact with attendees via the comments on your presentation page on the event platform.
Questions from the audience
There are two audiences; the in-person attendees in the Lecture Theatre at the different hubs and the virtual attendees who will follow the livestream. Both audiences have the opportunity to ask questions via slido. The session chair will be physically present in the Lecture Theatres and ‘voices of the online audience’ will moderate the incoming questions via slido.
If there is not enough time to take all questions, we will encourage attendees to post any questions in the “comments” at the bottom of your dedicated presentation page on the event platform. You will receive an email when a comment or question is posted on your presentation page. Please reply to these questions as soon as possible to continue discussions and maintain interaction at the event.
