Please review presentation and audiovisual and technical guidelines below as you prepare for your presentation at MSEC

Stage set-up 

• Stage size is 16' x 24' with the Podium on right (facing the audience)
• There will be (2) 7 x 12 screens on both sides of stage
• One (50 inch) Confidence monitors (also known as Downstage Monitors or DSMs) will be positioned downstage so you can view your slides while presenting
• Please note that there will be NO teleprompters.

 Technical Set-up and Support

• An AV technician will be available in the session room starting 45 minutes before the conference begins each day and will remain available throughout the session to assist you.
• All presentations will be preloaded on the conference laptop to ensure smooth transitions between speakers. Note that there are no breaks within the session, so it is important that we have all the presentations before the session starts.
• The conference laptop will be located offstage at the tech desk, and you will advance your slides with a remote clicker.
• If you use PowerPoint Notes and want them displayed on the confidence monitors, please inform Agnes ahead of time.
• Important: Notes must be within the same PPT file, not separate deck. Notes font size should be 40 pt or larger for readability.
• If you need to review or update your slides onsite, please visit the AV tech desk or notify a SEMI staff member. Slide previews can be done before the conference starts or during breaks.
• Please approach the AV Tech a few minutes before your talk to be mic’d up with a lavalier microphone. A podium microphone is also available if preferred.
• A digital countdown timer will be placed downstage. Please plan your talk to allow a few minutes for Q&A at the end.
• Audience Q&A will be moderated by the session chair.
