If you are making an ORAL PRESENTATION (KEYNOTE & PLENARY presenters will be contacted separately):
Please be sure to bring your presentation material on a USB memory stick and/or CD-ROM. We will have a laptop (PC) for you to load your presentation on to. Oral presenters should plan on giving a 12-minute talk and allow 3 minutes for Q&A. ASME has created an FTP site as a back-up for you to download your presentation. Please note that the FTP site is for back-up purposes only and it is expected that all authors have their presentation material with them on their scheduled presentation day. If you use the ftp option be sure to clearly LABEL your file with your name and abstract number.
