Oral presentation guidelines

All presentations should be based on PowerPoint 2003 or 2007 versions. Audiovisual components should be based on Quick-Time or Windows-Media-File formats.

You need to bring a copy of your presentation on a Flash drive (USB Drive, memory stick). Please upload your presentation BEFORE the start of your session. Uploading may be done during coffee / lunch breaks. If you are speaking in the first session of the day, please arrive at 08:15 to upload your presentation or upload the day before if possible.

You will not be using your own computer for the presentation

If your presentation needs to insert additional files (e.g., a video file embedded in your PowerPoint presentation), please make sure with the technician that these files work properly and are available for transfer as well.

Your presentation time includes your time for questioning. Please gauge the length of your presentation according to your allocated time. The chairperson will inform you when you are within a few minutes of the end of your allocated time, and will be instructed to cut-off speakers who run over time.

Please, do not rely on having internet access available during your talk.

POSTER presentation guidelines

• Posters will be displayed during all the Conference.
• Posters should be prepared in advance and should be brought in person by the authors. Please do not mail your poster.
• The dimensions of your poster must NOT exceed 90 cm wide by 130 cm high. Posters should be portrait.
• For easy identification, posters should have a heading, listing the title and author(s), with lettering for the title at least 4 cm. in height. Posters must be readable from a distance of at least 1 to 2 meters. The poster should be designed to summarize current research in graphic forms, i.e. charts, tables, graphs, and pictures. Presentations should be self-explanatory so that the presenter is free to supplement and discuss particular points.
