Sessions at the WHA are ninety minutes long, so you should apportion your time carefully to give equal opportunity to each presenter and commentator, with a chance for audience response.  Below are guidelines for typical sessions.

These are only suggestions.  You may work out your own division of time, but the chair is responsible for ensuring the session begins and ends on time with all presenters having adequate time.

Round table participants should confine their prepared comments to 12 minutes, in order to allow ample time for discussion among panelists and audience.

All participants, members and non-members should have received a copy of the program and registration materials in August.  Everyone attending the conference is required to register.  If you have not yet received your conference program, please let us know.

Unlike, many professional organizations, we do not require conference participants to be members, but we think this annual meeting will introduce you to an exciting organization that you will wish to join if you are not already a member.

If you need AV equipment, please email your request by September 10.  You email must include your name, session name, day and time and the equipment you are requesting.  We will notify you quickly if any aspect of your request cannot be fulfilled.  

Although the WHA endorses the utilization of modern technology and recognizes its importance for certain types of presentations, please restrict requests for equipment to that which is essential.  

Equipment that can be made available:
Carousel Slide Projector
Overhead Projector (for transparencies)
Cassette Tape Player
CD-Player
VHS Player and Monitor

Regrettably, we are unable to provide LCD projectors because of the high cost.  We are, however, happy to provide the other necessary equipment (stand and screen) if presenters choose to bring their own projectors.

Other equipment requests will be considered on a case by case basis.
