For our virtual meeting, there will be breakout rooms for e-poster presentations. Attendees will be able to move between poster breakout rooms.  You will have about 2 hours in your breakout room to talk about your poster and answer questions.

Instead of someone showing 1 “poster” with a lot of sections and possibly small graphs that might be difficult for people to see unless they zoom in, the Poster Presenter can break up what is typically a 4 foot by 6 foot poster into separate slides. 

Since you will have your own room, you can show multiple slides, video clips, demo tools/applications/websites or whatever you want to show in your “poster” session.

Poster Timeline: If you are presenting a poster, please do the following:

1. 1. Before 0800 PDT May 14th: Email your poster title to meeting-support@espo.nasa.gov 
   2. If your poster is selected:
      1. Before 0800 PDT June 1st: Email your 2-minute introduction PowerPoint slide about your poster using this template to meeting-support@espo.nasa.gov   You will talk to this slide for two minutes to the whole group before the breakout session (see 2-minute Poster Info below)
      2. You will receive an email by Friday, May 21st if your poster is selected.  
      3. Prepare your e-poster in whatever format you want to share in your own breakout room. 
      4. Before 0800 PDT June 7th: Email your poster, preferably in pdf format, to meeting-support@espo.nasa.gov for sharing with meeting attendees.

2-minute Poster Info

If you are presenting a poster, use this template for a 2 minute preview about your poster in the main session.  This will help attendees decide which poster sessions to attend. Before the breakout sessions start, we will show a bundled presentation going through each of the 2-minute slides.  It is recommended to rehearse timings in PowerPoint (Menu bar Slide Show > Rehearse Timings).

Each e-Poster Presenters will be in their own breakout room.  There will be 30 minutes before the meeting starts on each day when you are requested to join to test audio and test sharing your screen.

Once you are in a breakout room, you will see the Share button at the bottom.  Or you can select Share from the Menu bar and select Share Content.  

You can share your Screen if you will be displaying Powerpoints, and Websites and Applications.  If just showing one thing, best to select the specific application like Powerpoint or Adobe. 

The format of your “poster” can be 1 slide or more.  It can be a pdf or PowerPoint.  It can be landscape or portrait.

Attendees can join any of the breakout rooms.  At any time they can leave and move to another breakout room if sessions are still in progress. The breakout sessions are about 2 hours each day.  If you are presenting a poster and there is no one in your room, you can leave the room and Join another poster session.  If you leave a room with no intention of returning, please chat the meeting host so the room can be deleted.  

Each breakout room will have their own audio and chat.  Attendees can mute/unmute themselves. The poster presenter can mute/unmute people in the breakout room or pass them the presenter role.  The breakout rooms also have the ability for people to raise their hands before they talk if there is too much talking over each other.

• Only material suitable for full and open distribution shall be submitted and submittals shall be considered approved by the providing organization to be suitable for full and open distribution. No proprietary, export controlled, classified, or sensitive material should be presented.  If you are with NASA, Form NF-1676 has been replaced by a website called STRIVES (Scientific, Technical and Research Information discoVEry System) for the submission and approval for NASA STI (Scientific and Technical Information) (https://strives.nasa.gov) 

Tips

1. Test audio beforehand and make sure headsets/ear buds are charged as well as your keyboard and trackpad if they are wireless.
2. Check your microphone is enabled.  For example, if using a Mac: Go to Systems Preferences + Security and Privacy + Microphone. Ensure “Cisco WebEx Meeting Center” is selected. 
3. Check that your computer isn’t muted for audio output if you are listening with just your computer   
4. Set notification to Do Not Disturb – so previews of your emails/texts do not appear on screen for all to see.  For example, on a Mac, press and hold down the Option key and click on the Notification Center on the top right of your screen to toggle.
5. Recommend using Slide Show/Presentation View.
   • With Powerpoint, select Slide Show then Play from Start.  If you have two displays, click Swap Displays or Use SlideShow in the upper left. 
   • With Adobe PDF, Select View Full Screen Mode.
   • Otherwise get more real estate for your slide by closing the thumbnail on the left, closing the notes at the bottom and hiding the editing ribbon at the top.  For example, on Mac: Option-Command R to hide/show the editing ribbon in Microsoft Products. 

Sign into WebEx

It is recommended to download Webex and connect with the application instead of the browser version.  The browser version of WebEx will have some limited functionality such as not being able to “raise your hand” to ask a question.  

In order to move to a breakout room/poster session, you will need to have your audio connected to your computer.  Dial-in connections alone cannot move to a breakout room. Audio on Linux machines are not able to move to breakout rooms.  

Please use your Full Name when joining so we know who you are.

How to connect Audio

Preferred Option: Using Computer for Audio  This is at no cost to you.  Check that your computer isn’t muted for audio output. 

Alternatively:   Use Phone 

Enter your landline or cell phone number and WebEx will call you.  This is at no cost to you unless you are charged for incoming minutes. If you connected via your computer audio too, then disconnect your computer audio or mute your computer to eliminate feedback.

Note: With the Webex Training Tool, it may move your audio.  For example if you are using earbuds, it may start up with audio through your computer or your external camera.  To change the input/output, click on the Audio button    

How to use the virtual meeting tool

During a presentation in the main meeting room or in the breakout rooms, please:

1. Move your cursor to the top of the screen for the floating icon panel.
2. Click on Participant and Chat icons to float those panels.  In the breakout room, click on Breakout icon to leave the room.

• Raise/Lower your hand: On the Participants Panel there is a hand icon near the bottom.  You can click the hand to toggle raising or lowering your hand.  When you Raise your Hand, the moderator will see your name and if there is time you will be called on.
• Mute/Unmute:  will be able to mute and unmute yourself here if that function has been enabled.  Note: If there is too much background noise, everyone may be muted and you will only be able to raise your hand to be called on by the moderator and unmuted. 
• Chat: You can click on Chat to float the Chat Panel.  Please chat to All Participants. 

Video

To reduce audio lag, avoid turning on video unless you are presenting. You may also close extra applications to provide more memory to your computer.

Our preference is for you to share your presentation in Webex so your cursor will display for pointing to slide details like graphs/maps.  There will be 30 minutes before each meeting when Presenters are requested to join for setup.  You will be promoted to a Co-host role and we will test audio. You can test sharing your screen.

Highly recommend using the Webex desktop app as it provides additional features like removing background noise. Download the Webex application to your desktop.  An option to download will appear once you join the meeting.  

Share your presentation by selecting Share from the Menu bar at the top of your screen.  Best to select the specific application like Powerpoint or Adobe.  

• Please send your presentation in 16:9 format/aspect ratio to meeting-support@espo.nasa.gov  at least one day prior to your presentation date. If you are experiencing computer or bandwidth problems during the meeting, we can display and advance your slides assuming you are able to dial in.  It is helpful to have slide numbers to be able to confirm we are in sync. 
• If you have any embedded video, please send the video file separately a couple of days in advance of the meeting for testing/converting.
• Only material suitable for full and open distribution shall be submitted and submittals shall be considered approved by the providing organization to be suitable for full and open distribution.
