- We strongly encourage the use of shared platforms (such as Google Slides); that way, any last-minute changes by presenters will also be viewable by our captioners.
- We also ask that the individual members of panel presentations combine their files into a single document to facilitate captioning and to streamline the transition between panelists on the day of the conference.
