Technical Abstracts
Oral Technical Presentation
Oral Technical presenters have 12 minutes for their talk and 3 minutes for Q&A. Practice your talk ahead of time to ensure you do not go over. Going over time reduces the time available for your fellow presenters. Moderators will be present to facilitate the session.
All Powerpoints must be uploaded for playback in session rooms. We encourage pre-uploading for ease onsite. A Speaker Ready room will be available to upload onsite. Speakers will not be able to upload in the Session Room this year.
*Pre-Upload Deadline is July 28*

The oral powerpoint template is encouraged, but not required, for presentation.
Poster Presentations
Posters must be printed by attendees and displayed in the designated area by the start of your designated "Author Present" time. It is during this Author Present time that you must be available at your poster for discussion with attendees. Poster number, session information and upload instructions will be provided shortly.
Plant Health poster presenters will be asked to upload a PDF of their poster presented at the meeting for inclusion in
Plant Health Rewind. Plant Health Rewind provides the unique opportunity to share your research with the broader plant disease community and continue conversations beyond the in-person meeting. Additionally, each poster will receive a DOI citation.

Moderator Resources
Moderators play an essential role in a session - they welcome the audience, keep the discussion moving, facilitate audience engagement with the speaker, and ensure the session runs on time.
2025 Moderator Orientation
Moderator Guidelines & Script
To be a successful moderator, be sure to:
- Familiarize yourself with the presenters and the presentations that will be given during your session.
- Prepare questions for the presenters to help guide the discussion.
- Given the high number of international participants, please speak slowly and remind your presenters to do so as well.
- Introduce each speaker before they begin.
- Be consistent with keeping your speakers to their allotted time.
- Maintain a goal to try to keep all speakers engaged in the discussion.
- Close out the session by thanking all of the speakers and the audience for their participation.
