Posters and Video Presentations

All accepted abstracts will be required to prepare a digital poster and a 5-minute video presentation. All submitted posters and video presentations will be displayed on the ACM-W AP Celebration 2021 website. Each poster will appear on its page, with a section for a pre-recorded video presentation by the author/s. A virtual forum will be embedded on each page for the Q&A.

Selected abstracts will be included for presentation during the program on April 7, 2021, under Presentation Session. The Programs Committee will make the selection of abstracts for presentation.

The ACM-W AP encourages all presenters to make time to design posters and videos that will get your messages across the delegates and attendees effectively.

Video Presentation

The video can be designed to embed a full-screen screencast of the slides, with a picture-in-picture video of the presenter, a full screen of slides with audio of speaker or slides, and speaker video side-by-side. You may refer to a Remote Video Presentation Guide for more details.

Your opening title should include the authors of the research paper, the presenter's name, the affiliation, and the title of the research.

It is recommended to provide captions and subtitles in your video presentation to promote accessibility. The captions/subtitles do not necessarily have to stick to the voice-over. Importantly, the video must be understandable without sound.

Refrain from including video effects that can trigger an adverse reaction, such as flashing lights, loud sounds, or too much animation that may induce seizures for people with photosensitive epilepsy.

All presenting authors of accepted abstracts are expected to register to attend the conference and present at a scheduled session.

Abstract submissions for all presentations must be between 300 and 500 words in length.

Abstracts MUST include a description of each of the following:

The research focus or problem/intervention program.
The conceptual framework that informed the research or the initiative implemented to address the problem/intervention.
Research methods, including ethics or permissions needed to run the problem/intervention program.
Key insights or findings and implications for the future we want in computing.

Authors are advised to use the modified ACM SIGHI Extended Abstract for their submissions.

Abstracts should be submitted through EasyChair. (Link)
