In addition to the extended abstract, we will also require a copy of your presentation for review in advance of the event. The deadline to submit your presentation will be Friday, May 25th, 2018 (No Exceptions). (Note: Any submissions delivered after this date risk losing its presentation slot, and presentations submitted not using this template will be returned).
Your presentation slot is limited to 35 minutes (training courses and workshops will have 1.5 hours), which includes a suggested five-minutes for questions and discussion. Note: Session chairs will be instructed to start/stop each presentation on time, so please keep this in mind when preparing your presentation.
Please find below a presentation template to assist you when creating your presentation.
NAFEMS will be combining all presentations in advance of the conference and loading your final presentation onto a laptop computer at the venue. You will have the opportunity to view your presentation during the break before your session.
In addition, a copy of your presentation slides (as a .pdf, modified as necessary), approved by you (the author), will be available post-event on the NAFEMS website.
Please send your presentation to americas@nafems.org.

Finally, below is a speaker biography form. This brief form is designed to assist the chair when introducing you. Please return the completed form to NAFEMS (americas@nafems.org), along with your presentation, by Friday, May 25th, 2018. (Note: Any submissions after this date will result in the presenter having to introduce himself/herself - no exceptions).
Please Note ...
- All extended abstracts and presentations should be carefully examined for grammar and spelling.
- Extended abstracts, presentations, and biography forms will only be accepted if they are provided in the correct format, using the templates provided above.
- Please do not mention product names in the title of your abstract or presentation and be reminded that the contents should be restricted to technical and/or business issues. Any overt promotional pitches in your presentation may result in the cancellation of your presentation slot.
