Instructions for Presenters

 

Oral Presentations (Theme & Free Standing Papers)

  • Oral presentations last 15 minutes plus 15 minutes discussion time, where you will answer questions and receive feedback on the contents and methodology of your presentation. Make sure you respect the 15 min time limit.
  • You may upload your presentation online to our website anytime before your presentation time, your presentation will be instantly available on the presentation computer. Or you may bring your presentation with you using a USB Memory Stick. In any case please be present in the room you are presenting during the break before your session to make sure your presentation is ready.
  • A computer will be provided by the conference organisers; you will not be allowed to use your own laptop for your presentation.
  • Powerpoint’s pack-and-go option allows you to run your presentation on a different computer without losing your formats.

 

Poster Presentations

  • We expect authors of posters to be present during the conference and to be present at their poster personally during the poster session. If this is not possible, authors should make sure that their poster is presented by a co-author.
  • Posters will be discussed individually. Chairs of poster sessions will appoint a third person (not the author) to present the poster and invite the (small group) audience to ask questions and give feedback to the author. The author will be permitted to add to the presenter’s overview and will be expected to answer any questions arising.
  • Posters should be displayed during all the conference, not just for a brief period. You or your co-authors are responsible for affixing your poster to the designated panels provided at the conference centre. Poster strips (or similar) will be provided. Each poster panel will be labelled with the title of the submitted abstract.
  • Posters should measure maximum (w)120cm x (h)140cm or less and have a portrait format.

 

One slide- Five minute Presentations

One slide-five minutes presentations are short oral presentations. There is 5 minutes time for you to present plus 5 minutes discussion time.

  • You may upload your presentation online to our website anytime before your presentation time, your presentation will be instantly available on the presentation computer. Or you may bring your presentation with you using a USB Memory Stick. In any case please be present in the room you are presenting during the break before your session to make sure your presentation is ready.
    A computer will be provided by the conference organisers; you will not be allowed to use your own laptop for your presentation.
  • Your presentation should only be a single slide (with no or very few animations).
  • This format is particularly appropriate to present a study idea or “early stage” research. Sometimes, authors of abstracts considered of lesser general interest are also asked to present their paper in a one slide-five minute format.
  • As time is short, it is particularly important to remain focussed.
