Congratulations on your acceptance into the FMEC 2025 Annual Meeting and we look forward to your presentation. The information below will help you prepare for a successful presentation and make navigating the Annual Meeting much easier.

If you have not already done so, please complete the Speaker Agreement before attending the event (log in required). 

Steps to complete as a presenter: 

1. Register For the Annual Meeting ASAP. Meeting dates are September 18 – 20th. The meeting will be held at the Huntington Convention Center in Cleveland, Ohio. 
    Faculty & Residents - Registration information
    Students - Registration information

2. Reserve Your Hotel Room. Please book your room by August 25th. 
    Faculty & Residents - Hotel information can be found here. We encourage you to register online and reserve under our room block at the hotel. 
    Students - Hotel/reservation information. Please read the information about the hotel/reservations to ensure your space is reserved correctly. 

3. Audio Visual Support and Presentation Room Set Up. All presentation rooms will be equipped with a: (1) laptop computer, (1) LCD projector, and (1) flip chart (if requested). Additional props, equipment or supplies must be provided by the presenter. No AV equipment is provided for posters or breakfast discussion groups. DO NOT bring your laptop or MacBook and expect to hook it up to the LCD, or expect to download your presentation from the cloud, because time is tight and the FMEC cannot guarantee the WiFi will cooperate.

4. Meeting Slide Template. Please use this PowerPoint Slide Template for your presentation at the meeting.

5. How to Access Your Presentation. Place your presentation on a thumb drive to present at the meeting! This will ensure timely sessions as a PC laptop will be ready for you to use for your session.

6. Poster Presenters. Here are the 2025 Poster Specifications to help you navigate your session. If you need some guidance below are two documents to help get you started.

7. Conference App. Download the FMEC Annual Meeting conference app onto your devices before arriving at the meeting. Important messaging throughout the meeting will be shared with attendees via the app. You should also use the app to upload your presentation and handouts for attendees.

 8. Presentation Room Etiquette. Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your presentation time. Use your thumb drive with the FMEC laptop and LCD projector (do not bring your computer). Listen to the Session Moderator, if one is assigned, and end your presentation on time. You may be speaking in a session with multiple other presentations (Lecture Discussion, Paper, Research/QI, Speed, Clinical Success Story). We ask that you stay for all presentations and do not leave your presentation room until everyone has presented. Be courteous to other presenters by keeping distractions to a minimum.
