The Speaker Ready Room at SABCS (San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium) is an essential resource for all symposium General Session, Rapid Fire Mini-Oral Session, Late-Breaking Oral Presentation, or Poster Spotlight Session presenters, offering a dedicated space to prepare and fine-tune your presentation before taking the stage. Here's what you can expect and why it's helpful:

• Practice and Rehearsal: It's an excellent opportunity to practice your presentation, ensuring you're comfortable with both the content and the technology. You can rehearse your slides, transitions, and timing.
• Technical Support: AV experts will be available to assist with any technical issues you might face with your presentation materials. This ensures that your slides, videos, and audio components will work smoothly during the actual session.
• Pre-Presentation Check-In: It's recommended that you check in at least 24 hours before your scheduled presentation. This gives you plenty of time to address any issues or adjust your presentation as needed.
• Familiarize Yourself with the Equipment: The Speaker Ready Room is equipped with the same audio-visual setup that will be used in your actual session, so it's a great place to get familiar with how everything works — whether it's a microphone, clicker, or projector.

By checking in early, you can avoid last-minute stress and ensure everything runs smoothly on the day of your presentation.
