2024 Presentation Formats

Both individual and group presentations are permitted with a maximum of three presenters allowed in each group. All submissions are peer-reviewed by committees composed of professors and graduate students. Presentation formats include: 

Give Me 5 Presentation (Virtual – Thursday, March 7)

Presenters will prepare a summary of a paper or research project and deliver it as a 5-minute powerpoint presentation. The committee is accepting projects that are currently in progress (i.e. theses, dissertations). Presentations will occur one after another through Zoom on March 7th. This is a fantastic opportunity for students to gain experience providing a snapshot of their research to others in a non-threatening and academic environment. Participating in this presentation will provide you with a peer-reviewed publication for your CV. If you are interested in participating, please submit an abstract.

Virtual 15-Minute Presentations (Thursday, March 7)

This virtual presentation format is perfect for students who do not reside in Ottawa and want to gain more experience presenting their ideas and research to a public audience (virtually). Ideal especially for students preparing for an academic conference (e.g. CSSE, CPA). Length of presentations are 12-15 minutes maximum. Time will be kept by the session moderators. Presenters are expected to stay for the question period that will take place after the presentations in their section have ended.

In-Person 15-Minute Presentations (Friday, March 8)

Poster Session (In-Person, Friday, March 8)

Posters are collectively displayed in a large room and presented individually by their creators to attendees who stop by and want to discuss the poster contents. Presenters must be present at the Research Fair on the second day of the conference to discuss their study with attendees. Presenters are responsible for printing their posters. Posters must not exceed 1.50m x 1.50m (WxH).

Workshops Presented by Professors and Students (In-Person, Friday, March 8)
