GENERAL INFORMATION FOR PRESENTERS
PRESENTER REGISTRATION
You must register for the meeting in order to obtain a meeting badge. Registration fees are waived for
all ACC.06 and i2 Summit structured session faculty; abstract presenters only will be charged a $75
meeting registration fee. Accepting your speaker invitation and submitting the Presenters Agreement
via the online notification system does not register you for the meeting. If you are speaking at both
meetings, you must be registered for both otherwise access may be questioned onsite if you are
not properly badged. If you have not already registered, please contact ITS, the ACC official
registration and housing bureau. If you have registered and paid a fee, please request a refund in
writing, attention Meeting Services Department, fax 301-581-3493. You must reserve a hotel room if
you require overnight lodging. The College does not reimburse for hotel, travel, or per diem expenses.
ADVANCE ONLINE SUBMISSION OF PRESENTATIONS
ACC is committed to providing the audience and faculty the best education environment possible.
Most meeting rooms will have dedicated presentation computers and will be networked to a central
computer. Presentations will be downloaded from the central server and sent to the respective meeting
room on a secured intranet circuit. Presenters will be expected to submit their presentation in advance;
or bring it on floppy disk, zip disk, USB drive, or CD-ROM to a Speaker Ready Room, where they
will have the opportunity to review, update, or make changes on computers in the room, and then give
approval for the presentation to be uploaded to the appropriate meeting room.
The ACC.06 Presentation Submission Website opens Friday, February 3, 2006. This audiovisual
presentation website will remain open throughout the meeting for your convenience. This means that
you will be able to submit your presentation through the website, accessible from any internet
connection with sufficient bandwidth, up to 24 hours in advance of your presentation time. After this
time, you must go to a Speaker Ready Room.
To access the website, click on http://www.presentationmanagement.com/acc (on or after Feb. 3.)
Include all embedded video files for presentations that will contain video clips.
You may return to the website anytime before the 24-hr deadline to delete a file that you have already
submitted and re-submit a new file in the event that you’ve made changes to a presentation. For
security and proprietary reasons, you cannot edit a file online.
SPEAKER-READY ROOMS
There will be two speaker ready rooms at the convention center. The ACC.06 Speaker Ready Room
will be located in the Main Registration Hall (RH) of Building A. The i2 Summit Speaker Ready
Room will be located in Room C303. Presenters may go to either Speaker Ready Room to review and
approve their presentations – your ACC.06 badge will gain you entrance to either room. Both rooms
will have the same information and audiovisual equipment.
NEW THIS YEAR! Speaker Ready Rooms will be equipped with a speaker rehearsal room. Rehearsal
rooms must be reserved with the Speaker Ready Room receptionist.
All Speaker Ready Room computers will be configured with hardware and software exactly like that
available on the computers in the presentation rooms. This will allow you to preview your presentation
just as it will project when you present, identify problems, and make corrections as necessary prior to
your scheduled presentation date and time. Professional audiovisual consultants will be available for
assistance.
IMPORTANT!! CHECK-IN EXPECTED OF ALL PRESENTERS!
Help us help you! Plan to check-in the day before or no later than four hours before your presentation
time. Presenters who do not check-in sufficiently in advance of their presentation may give the
scheduled talk, but may not have visuals.
Speakers who have submitted their presentations in advance via the online Website are advised to visit
the Speaker Ready Room to check the compatibility of their files.
SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT DVDs: If you plan to play a DVD as part of your presentation, please be
sure to test the DVD for compatibility in the Speaker Ready Room.
The following ACC activities are NOT networked: All committee meetings and special functions; and
sessions/activities held outside of the Georgia World Congress Center. Participants in these activities
should contact the ACC staff liaison if audiovisual is required.

the microphone with your arm, which may cause feedback noise.
• When you refer to a visual, briefly describe it.
FIELDING AUDIENCE QUESTIONS
A vital part of each educational session is the built-in opportunity for questions and discussion. Time
has purposely been built into sessions to allow this type of interaction between the presenter and others
in the room. Questions may come from the audience or from your session chair or co-chair. Remember
that question-and-answer discussions are captured. To avoid gaps on the audio recording of your
presentation, be sure to repeat the question posed into your microphone prior to answering it.
PRESENTING ORAL CONTRIBUTIONS OR CLINICAL TRIAL RESULTS
If you will present an original contribution or clinical trial results, please do one of the following:
• Send a copy of the manuscript or outline for arrival no later than Feb. 24, 2006 to:
Amy Murphy
Media Relations
American College of Cardiology
9111 Old Georgetown Road
Bethesda, MD 20814-1699
• Deliver a copy to the ACC Newsroom at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta.
Copies of your material will be made available to trade and consumer media representatives to assist
with their reporting of presented research. If your presentation includes material from another
contributor, then he or she must be acknowledged.
By supplying the manuscript or outline, you agree that the ACC may disseminate the materials to the
media and to the public. In many instances, the ACC will disseminate the materials and/or a news
release in advance of the meeting. In some instances, the ACC will request that representatives of the
media not publish the information until after it has been presented at the meeting.
IF YOU WANT YOUR INFORMATION HELD UNTIL PRESENTATION:
Upon your request, the ACC will hold manuscripts or outlines until the time of your presentation. To
make such a request, your manuscript or outline must be clearly labeled on the front page as follows:
“PRESENTER REQUESTS DISSEMINATION AT OR AFTER

4. Mount visual material on the board using the Velcro fasteners or pins available in the poster
area.
SESSION LENGTH AND REQUIRED ATTENDANCE:
Two 3.5-hour poster viewing sessions per day will be held to maximize audience viewing opportunity.
Presentations must be mounted by the start time of each session and removed within 30 minutes after
the session. An attendant will be available to provide information, assistance, and supplies. No
audiovisual, projection, or computer equipment requiring electrical power will be permitted in the
poster session area.
Your confirmation information lists the 60-minute presentation time period when you must be present
at your poster board.
Poster sessions take place in Hall B1.
Posters session times this year are:
• Sunday, March 12, 2006 9:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
• Monday, March 13, 2006 9:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
• Tuesday, March 14, 2006 8:30 a.m.–12:00 noon and 12:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
E-ABSTRACT FORMAT:
New this year, accepted abstracts in the Cardiac Arrhythmia, Imaging and Diagnostic Testing, and the
i2 Summit Innovation in Intervention topic areas will also be piloted in an electronic format for 24/7
exposure via a self-directed e-learning system. Separate notifications were sent our in January to those
individuals who were selected for this special e-abstract format.
E-abstracts is an online multimedia delivery system that offers a wide choice of display enhancements,
including the viewing of digital medical imagery such as photos, movies, and PowerPoint slides. Eposters
also offer the ability for viewers to interact with the “online presenter” via submitting an email,
thereby increasing viewer engagement and interactivity with the system.
If your abstract has been selected for an e-abstract format, keep in mind that the success of this pilot
program depends on your innovation. Please take some time to familiarize yourself with the system
and to think about how your information will be presented. Then plan out your multimedia elements so
that you have an organized, powerful, and exciting presentation.
ACC.06 and i2 Summit 2006 co-chairs will be monitoring the e-abstract submission system on a
regular basis to record which e-abstracts have been submitted and to observe innovative ideas for
taking full advantage of this new presentation format. Thank you in advance for your prompt
submissions.
CARDIOSOURCE — A SLIDE DEVELOPMENT RESOURCE
Cardiosource.com, the premier cardiovascular website developed by the ACC, contains a valuable
resource for slide development. The Clinical Trials database provides summaries of key cardiovascular
clinical trials, many of which also have a brief synopsis of findings distilled into a single image that
can be inserted into a slide presentation.
Assess the clinical trials database at: http://www.cardiosource.com/clinicaltrials/index.asp.
ACC members have free access to all the content in this database when they register and log into the
Cardiosource.com site. Non-members can access this content by purchasing a one-year subscription to
Cardiosource for $99 (http://www.cardiosource.com/login.asp).
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR CHAIRS AND CO-CHAIRS
Chairs and co-chairs play an essential role in keeping educational sessions flowing smoothly and on
schedule. Carefully read the following tips and guidelines for chairing sessions. Be sure to also review
the SESSION DESCRIPTIONS section of this document for information on chairing specific types of
sessions.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
• Communicate with your panelists five to six weeks in advance of the meeting to review the
major points of their talks and alleviate any overlapping presentation material with other
speakers in the session.
• Stop by the Speaker Ready Room at the convention center to learn how to use audiovisual
equipment that you will have available in the session room.
• Review the Final Program to reconfirm the day, time, and location of the program you are
chairing.
• Report to the meeting room earlier than the scheduled start time so you can check
arrangements.
• Meet the ACC staff assigned to your room. Staff will liaise with you regarding session
information/material and audiovisual inquiries, assist you with logistical needs, and monitor
attendance.
• Prompt for and monitor disclosure compliance from faculty/presenters in the session.
• Verify with the presenters the accuracy of the information you plan to use in their brief
introductions.
• Ask presenters for whom English is a second language if they need assistance with questions
from the audience. If no translator is available, you may need to repeat the question slowly or
rephrase it for the presenter.
CHAIRING ORAL PRESENTATIONS OR ORIGINAL CONTRIBUTIONS
For each presentation, announce the abstract title, names of the presenter and other investigators, the
institution(s), and the city and state/country where the research was performed. Session room staff will
give you this information before the start of the session.
If a presenter fails to appear, take a 15-minute break so the session stays on schedule with the printed
Final Program.
INVIGORATING SESSION QUESTIONS AND DISCUSSION
The Program Committee has focused new attention on oral sessions this year. Abstract presenters in
select sessions will be required to remain at the session and participate in a panel discussion. Chairs
and co-chairs should prepare for “blood sport” when questioning the panelists. Ask stimulating,
challenging, and provocative questions during the panel discussion time so that the session is a real
learning experience for presenters and audience members alike!
SESSION OBJECTIVES
Beginning this year, a discrete set of learning objectives has been specified for every educational
session except abstracts. Attendees will use these objectives to evaluate individual sessions in order to
“grade” their educational value prior to requesting CME credit. Session speakers will also be
individually evaluated using a standard set of criteria.
FIRE SAFETY INFORMATION
Seating capacity has been maximized in all session rooms according to local fire regulations. Standing
in the aisles or against the walls is not permitted. If overcrowding occurs, staff/security personnel will
close the session. Further admittance will not be allowed until the next speaker change.
Noncompliance may subject the session to shutdown by the Fire Marshal.
Inside the session room, you can assist staff by urging attendees to --
• Find seats as far forward as possible.
• Move to the center of the row and fill all seats so chairs are available for additional attendees.
• Store materials under chairs to maximize seating.
• Take all personal effects when exiting. Reentry to an overcrowded session room may not be
allowed.
Outside the session room, staff will ask attendees to --
• Step back from the entrance.
• Form a line. The next attendee in line will be admitted into the session and escorted to an
available seat unless the session chair closes the session at which point no additional attendees
will be allowed to enter.
SESSION DESCRIPTIONS
SESSION FORMATS SIMILAR TO BOTH MEETINGS
The following list describes the session formats similar to both ACC.06 and i2 Summit. All presenters,
chairs, co-chairs, and panelists should review the information under specific session format for which
they are involved.
200 series (ACC.06)/2200 series (i2 Summit) = Meet the Experts
“Meet the Experts” (MTE) sessions have been re-energized this year to bring additional educational
value to you! These case-based, interactive sessions emphasize scholarly discussion and debate among
a small group of recognized authorities, a rising cardiology star as the case presenter, and the audience
in a lively, but informal setting. A specific topic is selected for each Meet the Experts session and room
size is limited to promote audience participation.
The session chair manages the MTE session by introducing the faculty (including the panelists and the
case presenter), introducing the topic, stating the session objectives (see below), and leading the
discussion or debate after the case presentation is made. Session chairs are also responsible for keeping
the session on topic and on time.
300 series = Brown-Bag Lunchtime Panels/500 series = Brown-Bag Breakfast Panels (ACC.06)
2300 series = Lunch 'n' Learn (i2 Summit)
Brown-Bag Breakfast and Lunchtime Panels (Lunch 'n' Learn for i2 Summit) are stimulating
interactive sessions designed to address current practice issues in cardiovascular medicine. A chair and
three or four panelists preside at each session, presenting their introductory remarks then engaging the
audience by answering their questions and encouraging lively discussion. This educational format
offers an informal setting that promotes invigorating verbal exchange between professionals and
colleagues.
The chair coordinates the session with faculty to discuss content, minimize duplication, and improve
the presentations. If applicable, the chair should also submit a discussion handout for distribution to the
audience.
Brown-Bag Breakfast and Lunchtime Panel/Lunch 'n' Learn sessions are offered at no charge to
attendees. Audience members may purchase food service items at nearby concessions, take their food
to attend any session on site on a first-come, first-serve availability. Session rooms will be set with a
head table for panelists and banquet rounds for audience members.
600 series (ACC.06)/2600 series (i2 Summit) = Symposia
These are detailed discussions of cardiovascular topics and results of large clinical trials by individuals
who have directly contributed information to the subject.
700 series (ACC.06)/2700 series (i2 Summit) = Core Curricula
Up-to-date information about recent developments in pathophysiology and therapy, relevant to the care
of patients and the needs of practicing clinicians. These sessions are designed to: (1) evaluate
comprehensive reviews and analyses of new directions in cardiology; (2) integrate new concepts in
basic mechanisms of disease into a clinical perspective; and (3) examine results of recent clinical trials
as they pertain to clinical practice.
800–900 series (ACC.06)/2800 series (i2 Summit) = Original Contributions: Oral
• Segments are no longer than 15 minutes, with 10 minutes for the presentation and three minutes
for discussion.
• All presentations are entirely in English. If you need assistance in understanding or answering
questions in English, please arrange to have the session co-chair or a member of your research
team assist you. It is your responsibility to notify the session co-chairs of your special needs
and arrangements before the first abstract in the session. You may include in your presentation
file a few slides containing text or data for answering questions that might reasonably be
expected from the audience. These slides should not include concepts or data integral to the
main presentation.
1000-1300 series (ACC.06)/2900 series (i2 Summit) = Original Contributions: Poster
All accepted posters are presented in the traditional poster board format. Also, as a pilot project this
year, accepted posters in the Cardiac Arrhythmia, Imaging and Diagnostic Testing, and the i2 Summit
Innovation in Intervention topic areas will also be piloted in an electronic format for 24/7 exposure via
a self-directed e-learning system.
ACC.06 UNIQUE SESSION FORMATS
The following list describes the various session formats unique to ACC.06. All presenters, chairs, cochairs,
and panelists should review the information under specific session format for which they are
involved.
10–90 series = Spotlight Sessions
• Comprehensive programs in focused areas of cardiology featuring multimedia case
presentations and expert faculty. Each Spotlight Program has its own set of objectives, target
audience, and description.
• Broad appeal: cardiovascular clinicians, basic scientists, and cardiac care team health care
providers as well as primary care and subspecialty physicians.
• Full day.
100 series = Mini-Courses
• In-depth update, including research data, on topics of major clinical interest.
• Generally appealing to practicing and academic clinical cardiovascular specialists.
• Half day.
400 series = Special Sessions
Among the ACC.06 Special Sessions are the Presidential Plenary Session, clinical trial presentations,
the Bishop Lecture, the International Lecture, the Tuesday Highlights session, and more. Chairs and
panelists in these sessions receive separate guidelines as warranted.
i2 SUMMIT 2006 UNIQUE SESSION FORMATS
The following list describes the various session formats unique to i2 Summit 2006. All presenters,
chairs, co-chairs, and panelists should review the information under specific session format for which
they are involved.
2010 = Nurse/Tech @ i2
A special session targeted at nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and technicians working
in interventional cardiology. This is an all-day program held on Sunday, March 12 from 8:00 a.m. to
