PRESENTER INFORMATION

ORAL PRESENTATION GUIDELINES

Please take the time to read these guidelines ahead of the Conference.

 

General Information
 

Please visit the registration desk when you first arrive at the Conference to collect your name badge and other related materials.

 

Presentation Time
 

Each paper has been allocated a total of 15 minutes for delivery inclusive of 3 minutes for questions/discussion and 12 minutes for speaking time.


The programme is subject to change, therefore please ensure you check for any changes on the website, as the programme on the conference website will be updated as changes occur.


In the interests of fairness, please ensure that you keep to your allocated time. It is essential for presenters to keep to time across the entire programme to ensure that each presenter has the same amount of time, and that the conference runs smoothly.
All sessions will have a dedicated chairperson who will introduce presenters to the lectern in sequence. Chairs will time presentations and provide a warning at 2 minutes of speaking time remaining.

 

Audio Visual Equipment
 

Please load your presentation at the registration desk in the foyer. Presentations are required to be loaded at least 4 hours before your session.

 

In the unlikely event of a technical problem, a technician will be present onsite to attend to the issue.
Presentations including video can be accommodated; however, we request that you arrive onsite early to confirm the details and test your presentation.


Please note: Presenters are requested to contact us as soon as possible for requests outside of the standard AV equipment provisions. Note, additional equipment cannot be guaranteed.

 

Speaker Preparation & Presentation Format
 

16:9 aspect ratio is preferred to match our screens.
Save your presentation as a Microsoft PowerPoint or PDF, and load it onto a USB/memory stick.  Please ensure you can access a back up of your presentation file, in the event of a memory stick fail.

 

General Guidelines

• Keep slides succinct and simple
• Text size should not be smaller than 24 point - be brief on slides
• Use high contrast text and plain backgrounds

 

Special Effects

Special effects should be used sparingly. Presenters wishing to use audio effects should advise the on-site audiovisual technical staff. Please do not select random transitions in the PowerPoint menu or the audience will notice the effects more than the presentation.
