Presentation Guidelines

Poster Presentations:

The poster presentations involve presenters showcasing key aspects of their research via a poster, where attendees and judges will have an opportunity to interact with them and ask questions. They will take place on Saturday, January 31st from 14:00-15:30 PST and presenters are expected to be available for the entire duration of the poster presentation event.

Please note that delegates who are presenting must print their own posters and provide them to the organizing committee prior at the start of the conference. We will be able to best support posters with a size range of 60x90cm to 90x120cm.

 

Oral Presentations:

The oral presentations will be 10 minutes followed by a 3 minute Q&A, and 2 minute set-up period for a total of 15 minutes. Students will speak one at a time to an audience of other delegates as well as judges. Presenters will be required to prepare slideshows to showcase their work. The oral presentations will take place on Saturday, January 31st from 10:00-12:00 PST. We request students to have their slideshows prepared and submitted to the organizing committee by 23:59 PM on Thursday, 29th January, 2026.

 

FAQ

Can I do both an oral presentation and poster presentation?

It is possible for students to do both an oral and poster presentation If a student would like to present during both the poster presentation and oral presentation events, select both oral and poster presentation when filling out the application form (regardless if the presentations will be on the same topic or not). We will do our best to accommodate as many presentations as we can, but we will prioritize one per student before allowing a second one.

What should my presentation be about?

Commonly, students present about the work they have done through co-op or research positions. However, students are welcome to present about any area of physics that they happen to be knowledgeable about through personal research and/or studies.

I will only attend CCUW*iP if I can do a presentation, but registration opens before I will find out if I am presenting. What should I do?

We will do our best to make sure everyone has a chance to present either a poster presentation or an oral presentation. However, we cannot guarantee that everyone will be able to present.
