Presentation Guidelines for the participants

Talks

 

For an oral presentation (talk), please keep in mind the following points:

• Each talk should last 20 minutes plus 10 minutes for discussion. Please make sure that you deal with the time limit.

• You will be provided with media (PC for Power Point presentation, projector).

• Please note that we cannot offer Xeroxing facilities so you may want to bring enough handouts (about 60-70).

 

Guidelines for PowerPoint presentations:

• Use Unicode fonts.

• Try not to broadly use unusual fonts or animated charts and images.

• Produce your presentation on a PC (rather than a Mac) as we will be using PCs at the conference.

• Bring a copy of your presentation with you on a CD or USB memory.

 

Posters

For a poster presentation, please keep in mind the following points:

 

• There will be 1 poster session on the day of the conference during which authors can present their research work.

• Each poster session will last 1 hour. Authors are kindly requested to stand near their poster throughout the poster session.

 

Mounting and arranging materials:

• Each author will be assigned an A0 size (841 x 1189 mm) poster board (portrait).

• Use of one large sheet of paper is preferred.

• The paper title, author (s), and affiliations should be indicated in heading at the top of your poster.

• The title line(s) should be readable from at least 2 meters away. Use an appropriately sized font.

• Posters will be mounted on the poster board with sell tape, which will be provided.

 

Illustrations and layout:

• Rely sparingly on printed text; graphs, charts, tables and pictures should be used to communicate information where possible.

• Focus selectively on major findings.

• Simple use of color can add effective emphasis.

• You might like to consider providing a handout or preparing a sign-up sheet for delegates who request additional information.
