Those who go over their time unfairly impinge on the time of other panelists, commentators, and members of the audience. We ask that session chairs monitor the time for each panelist and respectfully, but firmly, inform panelists if their time has expired. This is perfectly acceptable, but keep in mind that individual reading speeds vary greatly. Some people can read a 15 page paper in 25 minutes. Others cannot get through 10 pages in that amount of time.
Some people prefer to summarize a larger work.
This is also acceptable, but often risky. Veterans of professional meetings often recount horror stories of presenters who attempted to summarize 30 page papers without adequate preparation. Make sure that you have a good idea of what you intend to say and how you intend to deliver your paper. Papers need to be mailed to the Conference Coordinating Committee no later than September 1, 2000. Papers received late will not be considered for the paper prize.
