Use this webpage to submit PowerPoint and Poster presentations for the Symposium.
ASCEND Poster & (optional) PowerPoints: Due April 10, 2026 at 11:59PM (MST)
ASCEND Teams, Poster Session: All ASCEND posters will be displayed and presented during a 1-hour+ ASCEND Poster Session on Saturday, April 18th. Posters will be printed, mounted on foam core, and displayed on an easel by Arizona Space Grant management. ASCEND teams are not responsible for printing and bringing their own posters to the Symposium but are responsible for submitting a PDF copy of their poster by the deadline so that it can be prepared on their behalf.
Additional tips for creating your poster can be found in our 'Symposium Preparation' resources. Scroll down to ASCEND Team Poster Presentations: Design & Delivery.
ASCEND Teams, PowerPoints: If you have opted-in to give a team PowerPoint presentation, note that each team will be assigned a 10-minute time slot broken down as 7–8 minutes for the presentation, followed by 2–3 minutes for questions and speaker transition. All sessions will have a moderator who will preload presentations, introduce speakers, keep time, and assist with audience questions.
PowerPoint Presentation Tips:
- Embed all GIFs so they play automatically—do not rely on external links. Opening websites during your presentation can cause delays or technical issues, and time is limited.
- Ensure your PowerPoint does not include voiceovers or slide timers.
- Audio will not be available in presentation rooms, so please avoid using videos or GIFs with sound.
