Thank you for presenting a Technical Short Course at the 2024 AMOS Conference. In response to the high volume of proposals received, the half-day Technical Short Courses will be offered as either in-person for participants who are attending AMOS on Maui, or virtually for participants who attend online.

In-person Short Courses will not be livestreamed for virtual attendance and are not equipped for remote instruction. Therefore, instructors of in-person courses must be present on-site to teach the course. Recording will not be available regardless of course format.

Course Description. Please review your course description by logging in to the submission system and make any necessary changes by June 1. In addition, please include any co-presenters by adding them as “co-instructors” of your course submission. Go to proposal details and use the Add/update co-instructors link. This information will be used in the marketing of the short courses.

Minimum Attendance Cut-off. We require that courses attract a minimum of ten (10) participants by September 4 to proceed.  We will provide you with registration reports on Aug 15 and Aug 30. Any assistance with marketing via social media or direct email is appreciated.

Instructor Registration. Registration must be complete by June 28 due to high demand. Instructions will be sent to confirmed presenters.

Course Materials. We are asking short course instructors to upload their course materials to Google Drive by Sept 6. An upload link will be provided at a later date. Your course materials may include your slide deck for participant reference and a single digital file of handouts. Please advise if there is preparatory information (such as software requirements) that should be shared with registrants in advance.

In-person Course Room Setup. The meeting room will be equipped with a projector and screen, presenters must provide their own laptop. Please advise if your course is hands-on and whether participants should bring their laptops. Short Courses will not be livestreamed for virtual attendance and the rooms are not equipped for remote instruction.

Virtual Course Room Setup. A Zoom Meetings link will be provided closer to the conference week. You will have screenshare and whiteboard capabilities and you will be able to interact directly with participants. Please plan to login 15-20 minutes early to address final preparations and ready your presentation file. You will be in charge of driving your session and we encourage you to recruit a co-presenter to help moderate questions. Virtual short courses will not be recorded.

Please Note: Should you be unable to deliver your scheduled Short Course, you will be expected to notify the Conference Organizers immediately. Your suggestion of a suitable replacement instructor, at no cost to the Conference, will be considered.
