Important Technical Requirements

1. Zoom Desktop App – We suggest you use Zoom to record your presentation – please download the desktop Zoom App (https://zoom.us/download, click “Download under “Zoom Client for Meetings”). If you have it already downloaded, please ensure that you have the most up to date version.
2. Camera setup – Ensure your camera is centered and that we can see you from the chest up to a few inches over your head. Start a meeting with yourself by clicking on “New Meeting” in Zoom to optimize your camera setup.  
3. Headset – We highly recommend the use of headphones with a boom microphone like the one below (USB preferred over Bluetooth). If possible, please do NOT use earphones/earbuds/in-ear headphones or a headset without a microphone as these reduce your audio quality.  
4. Lighting – Lighting should come from front of you rather than behind you. Avoid backgrounds with harsh light such as windows. If you do sit in front of a window, please close the curtains/blinds. 
5. Clothes – Avoid wearing colors such as purple, dark blue or light purple as this will blend into the virtual background 
6. Presentation – If you want to include videos in your presentation, we recommend that you embed them in your slides instead of including a link to an external application.

Screen Recording Using PowerPoint

Another alternative to record your presentation is to use PowerPoint. By using PowerPoint to record your presentation you will not be on camera, the recording will only be of your presentation and audio. Please make sure to save your recording as a video and not as a presentation. For more information on how to record using PowerPoint please click here.


ePoster Presentation

1. Posters should be typed in clear bold print that can be easily read with the title displayed in block. The title should also display the names of the author(s) and the institution(s) of origin.
2. Content may be displayed in columns (usually 3 columns).
3. Content should contain the project/study purpose/objectives; project description/methods; project evaluation/data analysis; results and conclusion(s).
4. Illustrations should be professionally drawn (hand drawn material will not be accepted).
5. All content should be simple and not overburdened with detail - "minimizing detail maximizes information transfer".
Submitting Presentation to NNS
All presentations must be submitted to NNS no later than Wednesday, January 13, 2022. This is to ensure the NNS team has enough time to upload all 220+ presentations to the virtual conference platform. We thank you in advance for sticking to this deadline. ePoster presenters will be asked to directly upload their ePoster to the event portal, the link to this will be provided to the submitting author of accepted posters in mid January.
