Guidelines for Presentations at ITEA EventsPresentations at ITEA events should:l Contribute technically sound knowledge in a particular area of test and evaluation;

l Present new knowledge or experience that has not been published previously;and,

l Not be commercial, marketing, or "infomercial" in nature. The presentation’sintroductory slide is the only slide that may contain the presenter's companyname and/or logo. Presentations that promote specific companies, organiza-tions, products, or services are reserved for the Exhibit Hall or Vendor TrackSessions, and strictly prohibited in Pre-Workshop sessions (including tutori-als, demonstrations, and other presentations), and the Workshop Plenary andTechnical Track sessions.

l Tutorials are typically scheduled for either a half-day or full day, should in-clude comprehensive presentations on well-established topics, and may in-clude hands-on exercises on using various software and/or hardware tools.Technical Track Session presentations are shorter than tutorials and usuallylast 30 minutes. While tutorials go into considerable depth, Technical TrackSession presentations give quick holistic overviews of interesting emergingtopics with a concentration on fundamentals and projection about the futureof these topics.

l Poster Presentations, usually displayed in the Exhibit Hall, are designed topresent works-in-progress, new ideas, and emerging fields and research top-ics in test and evaluation. Poster presenters are expected to bring their printedposter and handouts, and to be present during scheduled times for the PosterPresentation session(s). Attendees will browse the posters and directly inter-act with the presenters. Thus, the poster session is intended to be an infor-mal, conversational forum for new ideas.
