Team Leaders | Friday Night Practice November 01 - 05:00 pm |
Team leaders have a few responsibilities. Each team leader (or a designated representative) will be responsible for collecting a signed general release form from any team member registering on-site and handing it in at registration in order to obtain your team box. Team leaders are responsible for making sure individual team members receive the materials in the box. |
Teams will be allowed to practice on Friday night (November 1st) at MIT, beginning at 5:00pm. You can practice your presentation, and get to know fellow iGEM members. There are a limited number of rooms available, so please sign up online to reserve a room and time slot.

Badges | |
You will receive your name badge as part of your team box, as long as you have submitted your general release form. Please wear your badge at all times during the Jamboree and make sure it is clearly visible. Badges will be necessary for entrance into presentation rooms, for access to food, and for the iGEM social event. If you do not have a badge, you must register in order to obtain one. | |

Each team has 20 minutes of presentation time, 5 minutes for questions and answers, and 5 minutes to switch with the next presenters. Please be sure to bring the necessary equipment for your presentation, such as your laptop, cables/adaptors, and power supply, as iGEM will not provide these.
