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. We will also provide you a link to the pre-scheduled YouTube livestream. 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 well 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 Amazon Community Center in Eugene, your audience will be both in the room and a YouTube livestream. You may bring your presentation on a thumb drive, upload it to us in advance (you will be provided a link), or present from slides you have stored in the cloud. CMS will provide a projector, laptop, laser pointer/slide advancer, and a wireless microphone. We will have a CMS member on hand to do all of the tech setup. Note: The microphone does not project within the room, it is solely an input to the laptop for the livestream.
If for some reason you prefer to present with your own laptop at minimum you will need either an HDMI port (preferred) or a VGA 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 provided in advance).
