Oral Abstracts

• You should arrive at your session room and check-in with the AV technician at least ten minutes in advance of your session (or the session that precedes yours if there isn’t a break in between). ASTRO staff and an AV tech will be there to give instructions and acquaint you with the AV set up on the stage.
• Please stay within your presentation time limits. AV techs will operate a timer that you will be able to reference to ensure you stay within your allotted time. Oral abstract presenters will have seven minutes for presenting the abstract and three minutes for questions from the audience (a total of 10 minutes per abstract).
• You are required to disclose any relevant relationships at the start of your talk (please see Disclosures section).
• Presentations must be objective and free of commercial bias for or against any product or device. Slides and/or reference materials shall not, by their content or format, advance the specific proprietary interests of a commercial entity.
• All clinical recommendations must be based on evidence that is accepted within the profession as adequate justification for their indications and contraindications in the care of patients. All scientific research referred to, reported or used to support or justify a patient care recommendation must conform to the generally accepted standards of experimental design, data collection and analysis.
• Presentations must give a balanced view of therapeutic options. Use of generic names will contribute to this impartiality. If trade names are used, those of several companies should be used rather than only that of a single supporting company. 
• Presentations must offer a balanced view of current medical practice that includes discussion of all available therapeutic products, including benefits and risks associated with each. 
• Presentation materials must not include any commercial logos.
• Presentations must be HIPAA compliant (e.g., will only use de-identified patient information and/or will obtain written consent from the patient).

• Remember to remove any banners/templates from other meetings/symposia. We recommend you use the meeting's Power Point template for your slides. The slide template can be found here.
• All of the screens will be a 16:9 widescreen ratio. If your presentation is in the older 4:3 ratio rather than 16:9, your presentation will be "pillar boxed" on the wider screens.
• All electronic files must be submitted through the Speaker Center using one of the formats listed below:
  • PowerPoint 2016 or earlier version
  • Drive should be FAT32, NTFS, or ExFAT formatted
  • Video playback: MP4, WMV (other formats may require conversion)
    • Even though most video files are embedded in the .pptx file, you should have copies of all files available in case conversion is required.
    • YouTube and other online videos will need to be downloaded and inserted (instead of linking to the online video).
• It is important that your movies do not completely fill the screen. In the meeting room you will only have a mouse to advance your slides. You can only advance your PowerPoint by clicking on the slide, not the movie itself.

• Presenters may upload their slides prior to the meeting through the Speaker Center under the "My Presentations" tab. 
• All speakers, regardless of whether your presentation has been uploaded or not, must check in at the Speaker Ready Room and review their presentation. 
• Please see the "Building Your Presentation" section above for file formats that are allowed. If your presentation contains any video or audio, please submit your files to the Speaker Ready Room as early as possible due to additional processing time that may be required.

Presenters are required to disclose the following, if applicable, to the audience at the beginning of your presentation and in accordance with ACCME standards and Food and Drug Administration requirements:

• The existence of any financial or other relationship you have with the manufacturer(s) or any commercial product(s) or provider(s) of any commercial services discussed in an educational presentation. 
• Any vested interest or intention to discuss off-label use of pharmaceuticals or devices. 

All oral abstract presenters should check in to the meeting at the Registration desk, located in the East Foyer.  You must also report to the Speaker Ready Room the day before your session takes place to upload and/or check your presentation.
