IF YOUR PRESENTATION HAS BEEN SELECTED TO BE VIDEO TAPED
AND POSTED ON THE DAC WEBSITE:

This is a GREAT opportunity to share your work with the wider DA community. Due to the technical limitations involved in making your presentation web-ready, you will have SPECIAL requirements for your PowerPoint slides.

43rd VIDEO SESSIONS: Session 2, 7, 12, 17, 23, 29, 35, 41, 47, 53, 59

Because you will be video taped, DAC Presentation Consultant, Carla Otten, will be working very closely with you to develop your slides and make certain that your slides will synch properly with the web video.

  • May 26, 2006: All presentations must be done in PowerPoint. FTP an initial version of your PowerPoint presentation to the DAC Presentation Help Desk at ftp://mpweb1.dac.com (username: slides, password:6123carla ). (Note: The size of your PPT file can be greatly reduced by compressing it with WinZip.)

  • June 22, 2006: Speakers-You should have received feedback on your slides from the DAC Presentations Help Desk. Please follow the suggestions given here at Slide Prep .

  • If you have submitted your slides to the DAC Presentation Help Desk ON TIME, you will receive technical comments from your Session Chair by July 7, 2006 (please contact the DAC office if you have not).

  • You MUST have the FINAL COPY of your PowerPoint slides to Carla Otten at slides@dac.com BY JULY 14, 2006, one week prior to the conference. We must have your file prior to the conference as it must be pre-formatted for the video capture process.

  • The video capture software is not able to record ALL animation. Please try to limit the use of animations, or break up complex animations into multiple slides. We cannot capture embedded movies in your slides. If you wish to use embedded movies, please provide two versions of your your slides, one with the movie and one without the movie. Ask Carla, at slides@dac.com, for assistance in developing your animations and slides for these video taped sessions.

  • You MUST use the desktop computer provided by DAC to present your slides.
