CMS Speaker info and Presenter agreement
Thank you for agreeing to share your expertise with the members of the Cascade Mycological Society (CMS) and the general public. Please read the section below titled “What to expect”; then complete the Speakers Agreement that follows.
What to expect
After creation we will provide you with links to our advertising of your presentation. This normally includes a CMS website posting, a Facebook event, and a Eugene Weekly posting. Please feel free to share these with friends and colleagues.
Presenting virtually
You will be presenting via Zoom and will be provided a Zoom link in advance. We do not invite CMS members and/or the public into the Zoom meeting. Instead, we livestream the Zoom meeting to the CMS YouTube channel for our members and the public to view. The Zoom meeting will be just you, the CMS President (Chris Melotti), and a CMS web team member. We normally field questions from the audience via YouTube chat at the end of the presentation. If you prefer to take questions during the presentation, just let us know.
Presenting in person
If you will be joining us in person at the Hilyard Community Center in Eugene, your audience will be in the room. We will record your presentation for later upload to YouTube and/or Vimeo, provided you give us permission to do so. You may use your laptop, or use a CMS provided laptop. Also provided is a projector, laser pointer/slide advancer, and a wireless microphone. We will have a CMS member on hand to assist with tech setup.
If you choose to use your own laptop you will need an HDMI port, and at least one USB port for the wireless microphone, a second USB port for the laser pointer is a plus. In order to join the Zoom meeting you will need to connect to the Eugene Public Wifi; then join a pre-scheduled Zoom meeting (link will be emailed in advance).
