The DuPage Birding Club’s annual Members’ Night will be held on Thursday, March 13, in person and via Zoom. All DuPage Birding Club photographers are invited to share their favorite bird photos and
stories with fellow members. The photos can be from anywhere, and any level of photographic expertise is invited!
Presenters will have the option of presenting in person or remotely via Zoom. Each presentation will be limited to 10 minutes, so please be selective and limit yourself to something you can cover in that
window (typically 10-15 images is a good guideline). We will have time for up to 10 presentations, so it will be first-come, first-served for registration. If you’ve never presented live or in Zoom, don’t worry!
We’ll have support available both leading up to and during the presentation. To keep things organized, here’s the process from registration to presentation:
- Registration: Submissions are currently being accepted. Email Matt Crisler (crislermj@gmail.com) with the presenter’s name, presentation title and/or topic, expected number of pictures/slides, and a brief summary of what you intend to talk about.Matt will confirm you are registered assuming space is still available.
Once confirmed, put your slide show together. PPTX (PowerPoint) format is strongly preferred; coordinate with Matt if you need to use an alternative format.
Practice your presentation and verify you’ll stay within the 10-min limit! This is important to make sure we stay on schedule during the meeting.
Presenters should expect to attend a short practice run sometime between 3/2 and 3/13. The date will be set based on when everyone can make it. We won’t do full presentations but just make sure everything is ready to go on the technical side.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to Matt.
Thanks in advance to everyone who can participate, and we’ll see you all on March 13th!
REMINDER: We are trying out a new meeting location at College of DuPage in the Health Science Center for the spring meetings. We are hoping this venue change will facilitate a better A/V experience and improve our ability to properly host hybrid meetings.
