Uploading Your Presentation Materials
You will be provided with a location within the Discovery Summit Site to upload your presentation materials.
More specific guidelines for paper and poster presenters are listed below:
- You may submit your presentation file in any format (for example, PDF, JMP journal or PowerPoint).
- If you choose PowerPoint, we recommend that you use your organization's own PowerPoint template. Alternatively, you are welcome to use this Discovery Summit template.
- Include a title slide in your slide deck.
- You are welcome to submit a paper corresponding to your presentation. Past experience has shown that this provides the highest value for attendees.
- "JMP" is pronounced "jump", not "J-M-P." And "SAS" is pronounced "sass," as in "sas-sy," not "S-A-S."
