What ACS Provides Oral Presenters
Technical Session Equipment
Each technical session meeting room will be equipped with the following for in-person oral presentations:
- Complimentary presenter laptop. Laptop provided as an alternative to presenters or program chairs supplying their own equipment; use is optional.
- Standard HDMI cable in each meeting room. Speakers must supply their own adaptor to connect to the standard HDMI cable. If unsure of the correct adaptor, the laptop connectivity specifications can be found on the computer manufacturer’s website. Note: Apple laptops will need an adapter to connect to the HDMI cable, and adapters will NOT be provided onsite.
- LCD projector
- Screen (16:9)
- Lighted podium
- Podium microphone or lapel microphone
- Laser pointer
Speaker Ready Rooms
Each meeting venue holding technical sessions will have a Speaker Ready Room. All presenters are encouraged to use the room to rehearse their presentation and to test their computer compatibility with the LCD projectors.
Presenter Expectations
Review and abide by all ACS Fall 2024 Policies including Registration, Attending Sessions, and Presentations.
- Commit to arriving to your presentation location—in-person or virtually—30 minutes prior to the session for a technical check.
- Commit to being available during your session for chat and Q&A, whether your presentation is live or pre-recorded.
- Commit to keeping your presentation within the expected time limits.
Registration Required
All presenters are required to register and pay the appropriate registration fees to present and attend the meeting. Invited speakers should contact their symposium organizer or division program chair to clarify the terms of their invitation.
Failure to register for the meeting will result in the withdrawal of your abstract from the official meeting platform and program, official meeting program archive (SciMeetings), and CAS database.
In order to register and attend the meeting, you will need a free ACS ID. If you don’t already have one, you can easily create an ACS ID.
The ACS ID is a single set of log-in credentials (i.e. username and password) used to access multiple ACS online products, including abstract submissions, ACS Network, and meetings registrations.
For ACS ID support, please contact ACS Membership Services by email or by telephone at 800-333-9511 (US and Canada) 614-447-3776 (outside the US).
