Presentation Questions
Does AAIM print handouts for workshop sessions?
No, AAIM does not print handouts for workshop sessions. If you require handouts for your session, please bring them with you. AAIM will also post your handouts to the conference app along with your presentation.
How early can I arrive to the meeting room to set up my presentation?
AAIM cannot guarantee entrance into your meeting room more than 15 minutes prior to your presentation. Most meeting rooms are in continuous use for sessions or committee meetings. Please check the agenda when you arrive onsite to confirm what time you can access the meeting room.
When should I submit my presentation?
Please submit all meeting materials (slides, handouts, articles, etc.) through the AIMW24 presentation upload link. AAIM provides workshop presentation material to all meeting participants on the AIMW24 app. Please submit all presentation materials no later than close of business Friday, March 22, 2024.
Where do I send my presentation?
Follow the instructions on the AIMW24 presentation upload link.
Why does AAIM request my presentation before the meeting?
AAIM posts presentations to the conference app prior to the start of the meeting so participants may download and view before the session, if desired.
Can I update my presentation after the meeting has concluded?
Yes. Please submit updated meeting materials through the AIMW24 presentation upload link before, during, and after the meeting so that participants have access to the most up-to-date presentations.
