Frequently Asked Questions for the HSS Meeting
- How do I register for the hotel?
Hotel reservations
should be made through the reservation link on our Web site. Further information is available at hssonline.org.
- How much time do I have for my presentation?
Presenters
in the morning (5 presenters) and late-afternoon sessions (4 presenters)
will have 30 minutes to read their papers and to answer questions. Those
in the early-afternoon sessions (1:30 – 3:10) (4 presenters)
will have 25 minutes. We will ask session chairs to make sure the
participants stay within their allotted time.
- Do I need to be a member of the HSS to give a paper?
What about registering for the meeting? You do not need to be a
member to present your paper but since all presenters are required
to register for the meeting, and members receive a discount on the
registration fee, we strongly encourage participants to join the
Society. Membership information is available at hssonline.org. Online
meeting registration will be available in August. Paper registration
forms will appear in the July Newsletter and may be printed off of
the HSS Web site.
- How to make the most of the meeting. Useful tips for first-time attendees on how to make the most of the meeting are here.
- Where’s my receipt?
Receipts will be included
with your delegate packet, which will be available at the meeting
registration desk.
- May I participate in more than one session?
As
a rule, no. We can make exceptions for plenary speakers, workshop
participants, and for those who simply organize another session.
Individuals may serve more than one function in a given session,
e.g. chair and presenter.
- What about audio/visual needs?
The HSS will supply
a screen, overhead and slide projectors if these are requested by
1 July. Computer projectors (LCD projector) are prohibitively expensive
to rent for all sessions. Prospective participants must have
specified in their proposals if they need such equipment and session
chairs or organizers will be notified as to whether or not they will
have an LCD projector for their session. For further information,
please contact the Executive
Office. We encourage those in a session who are using computer
presentations to load your files onto one computer so that little
time is lost between speakers. Participants are also welcome to bring
their own projectors.
