Types of presentations:
We welcome a variety of presentation styles at this Symposium:
Rapid Communication Poster Sessions
These sessions offer presenters an opportunity to display research findings in an exciting and visually stimulating format. Presenters speak for 5 minutes about their poster and leave 5 minutes for questions from the audience. The posters will be displayed for the day.
Pecha Kucha / Psychology Snippets
20 slides at 20 seconds per slide. This format requires the presenter to deliver twenty seconds of commentary per slide for twenty consecutive, automatically advancing slides. The total presentation time is six minutes and forty seconds. Slides cannot be halted, returned to a previously shown image, or skipped ahead. This is a fun and effective way to communicate a coherent and engaging story about what you are working on, working in, key findings, and community psychology relevance.

Traditional Conference Presentation
15 minutes to present followed by 5 minutes for questions. Presentations should cover what you are working on or working in, your key findings or ideas to communicate, and explicitly link these to community psychology.
