This event is ideally suited for one presenter, although a team may register. Each competitor has three minutes to present, with one static slide. You will present your research topic, explain how the research is (or will be) conducted, and identify what impact it will have on the general or academic community.
Unlike the other two events (Posters and Oral Presentations), you do not need to submit an abstract for this competition.
To help prepare you for the competition, we offer workshops to assist you. In order for you to participate in the competition, you must attend the 3-Minute Speech Workshop and the 3-Minute Speech Rehearsal. Registration is required for all events.

How will I be evaluated?
Interested in knowing what and how you will be evaluated? Here's the 3-Minute Speech Competition Evaluation Rules & Criteria.
Evaluation for the competition is done by a panel of judges who will be front and center during your presentation.

Judges will deliberate after all speeches are complete to award 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places as well as Best Graduate and Best Undergraduate Presentation. Detailed evaluations will be emailed to you after the SRS is over (please allow time for processing).
Audience is also welcome to give their feedback to the presenters. Surveys will be available via QR Code.
