The provided laptops will support versions of Microsoft PowerPoint and files saved to Adobe Acrobat.  If you use a Mac, please ensure your file is saved as a PC version or as a pdf.

Presenters are to bring the final version of their presentation, and any necessary additional files, on a USB drive to be uploaded to the presentation laptop.  If you require further support, please contact us via email one week before the congress at canstroke@podiumconferences.com to arrange a different method.

Presentations will be saved to a folder on the desktop of the presentation laptop for the date and session they have been assigned.  Should audio and/or video be part of the presentation, the audio/video file must be included in the session folder as streaming using the provided Wi-Fi is not recommended due to buffering and file size needs.

Brag ‘n Steal Presentation Guidelines

In this dynamic “Brag and Steal” session, presenters from clinical and research settings will share practical innovations that are driving success in stroke care. From effective toolkits and streamlined workflows to assessment techniques and patient engagement strategies, these are real-world solutions that have led to positive outcomes. Whether it’s a clinical process improvement, a patient-centered approach, or an administrative tool, these ideas are working well at their sites and are ready for you to “steal” and implement in your own practice. Come ready to be inspired, learn from your peers, and take away actionable ideas that can enhance both research and clinical care at your own organization!

All Brag and Steal presentations are 3 mins in length + 2 mins for Questions and Answers. You may have 1 slide max (or a title slide and 1 content slide) to accompany your presentation.

There will be a session chair who will advise you of the time remaining during your presentation so kindly observe the time restrictions out of respect for other presenters.
