Info for Presenters

Oral Presentations

Each oral presentation is allotted a total of 20 minutes (15 minutes talk plus 5 minutes discussion).

A Windows PC and a MAC with PowerPoint will be provided for talks. Oral presenters should not use their own laptop, except when special software is required (please contact the organizers if this is the case). Presentations should be copied to the local laptop in advance, preferably the day before their session (during coffee breaks or the lunch period). Presentations in the morning of 23 May should be sent by email to the organizers, and tested before the beginning of the morning session. Please be sure the font size on your overheads is at least 24 point.

Prior to the start of each session, oral presenters should introduce themselves to the session chair.


Poster Presentations

Please adhere to the following guidelines when preparing your poster:

Posters should not exceed 150 cm high x 90 cm wide.
Posters should be displayed in Portrait orientation (the longer dimension is vertical).

Check the final program to locate your poster session and poster number. Poster sessions will be held from 16.00 to 17.30 on each day of the conference. We recommend that you put up your poster during the morning coffee break or during lunchtime. Materials for hanging the posters will be available on the poster boards.

In all poster sessions, presenters with odd-numbered posters are required to be at their poster in the first 45 minutes of the session, and presenters with even-numbered posters are required to be at their poster in the last 45 minutes of the session.

Posters should be taken down by the authors after the end of each poster session and no later than the end of the day of their poster session.

Please note that we provide no facilities for poster printing.
