To ensure smooth session operation, presenters are requested to come to the room before the start of your session.

Presentation Time Allocation

• Do not exceed the allocated time.  Papers should be presented in 20-minute time slots, with 15 minutes for presentation and 5 minutes for Q&A.

PowerPoint/PDF Presentations

• Screens will be in 16:9 format and your presentation should be prepared accordingly.
• All presentations should be in Microsoft PowerPoint or PDF. No other formats will be accepted
• All presentations should be in standard definition (SD) resolution
• If you are using media files (e.g. videos, photos), please use the lowest sufficient resolution, embed media files within the presentation, and bring source media files with you
• All presentations must be uploaded via ConfTool and a backup brought on a USB (flash drive)

Slide Template

There is no template for the presentations. Presenters may use their own slides.

Audio-Visual

You will be able to advance your slides from the presentation laptop. There will be a fixed mic at the lectern.

Seating Arrangement

Please find a seat in the front row (there will be ‘speaker reserved’ seating); the chair of your session will invite you to the lectern to present and return to your seat after questions have been taken.

Timekeeping

Strict timekeeping is exceedingly important. Chairs should inform Speakers ahead of time that timekeeping will be strict and explain the system that will be used to indicate that time is running out.

Discussion

The Chair may manage the discussion as they see fit. The Room Supervisor will be present to circulate the microphones. The Chair should indicate to whom they should pass the microphone.

If you have any questions regarding your presentation or what to expect as a presenter, please feel free to contact me.
