PRESENTATION MODE
All presentations will be pre-recorded and will not be held live. To present at the conference, you will need to upload your presentation video to a video hosting platform (such as YouTube or Vimeo) and then submit the link through a provided Google Form.

Please follow these steps:
1. Record your video. Ensure your video is high-quality with clear audio and visuals. We recommend a resolution of at least 720p. The maximum duration is 10 minutes.
2. Upload to a hosting site. Upload your completed video to a platform like YouTube or Vimeo.
3. Set the video to “unlisted.” This is crucial. Setting your video to unlisted means that only people with the direct link can view it, preventing it from being publicly searchable. Do not set it to “private,” as we will not be able to view it.
4. Get the link. Copy the unlisted video link.
5. Submit via Google Form. Open the provided Google Form and paste your video link into the designated field. Make sure to fill out all the required information.

This format will allow attendees to watch the presentations at their convenience. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.
