  • ALL presenters are required to check in at the Speaker Ready Room in the convention center at least eight hours in advance of their presentation to ensure compatibility, prepare, rehearse, and finalize their presentations before submitting them to the attendant in the Speaker Ready Room.

This is where the technicians can help resolve any compatibility or formatting issues and explain the in-room setup.

  • All media submitted to the speaker ready room will be destroyed post-show unless other arrangements are made.

AV Guidelines, Presentation Upload, and Speaker Ready Room

All presentations must be uploaded to the PAS Presentation Management Website. Your final submission is required at least 8 hours in advance of your session. Speaker check in is required at least 8 hours in advance of your presentation in the Speaker Ready Room,  Pennsylvania Convention Center – Level 200, Room 204 C. This will ensure the quality of your presentation(s) including fonts, bullets, outlines, animations, etc. Allow extra time if polling slides need to be created.

Polling & Q&A

The PAS 2020 Meeting offers polling and Q&A through the mobile app using Conferences i/o (Scholarly Sessions, Workshops, and SIGs only.) All polling and Q&A in presentations must be done through Conferences i/o; we will not support other polling platforms such as Poll Everywhere.
