To accommodate translation of your materials, we request that presenters in an invited or contributed session e-mail a copy of the final version of their slides to statcan.symposium-symposium.statcan@statcan.gc.ca no later than September 3, 2021.
We strongly recommend that you submit a Microsoft PowerPoint version of your presentation. If planning to use any other software, please check with us first. PowerPoint is preferred in order to produce a translated version with the same look as the original, especially when the presentation includes tables, graphics or equations. We also ask that you avoid any PowerPoint animation. Please use at least a 18-point font that can easily be read and that is part of the standard Microsoft suite of fonts. The bilingual presentations will be loaded onto Statistics Canada's conference platform. If we do not have the font that you used, we will not be able to show your presentation. In order to fully fill the screen, please use the PowerPoint 16:9 format for your presentation.
Poster session
Our symposium being virtual, the format of the posters will be a presentation of up to five slides. The posters will be available during the full symposium, but on Friday November 5th, a specific one hour session for poster participants will be included in the program. During this time, symposium participants will be able to communicate with you to discuss questions they might have about your poster.
