Your full paper will be in the on-line proceedings, so use this time to talk about key points of the paper.

To ensure that your power point presentation plays properly, we ask that all presentations be turned in to us by September 7, 2026 .

The video team will load the presentations of all the participants onto their computer and test them. If you’re planning to embed a video into the power point presentation, it is best to create a Presentation folder. Copy all the videos and the power point file to the Presentation folder.
