PRESENTATION INSTRUCTIONS

Oral presentation

Be prepared to begin your presentation as soon as the prior presenter has finished; it is important to keep on schedule. You should meet with your session chair during the break immediately prior to your session. This will give you a chance to test any presentation equipment you will be using. Copying your files to the computer before the session will also save you some time during your presentation. 

Note: The presentation computer has ONLY a USB port. There is no CD-ROM or other disc drive.

Each oral presentation is scheduled for 20 minutes including time for questions and any set up that is not completed in advance. We recommend that the presentation of your slides should take about 14-15 minutes, leaving 3-4 minutes for questions from the audience. To achieve appropriate timing, organize your slides or viewgraphs around the points you intend to make, using no more than one slide per minute. A reasonable strategy is to allocate about 2 minutes per slide when there are equations or important key points to make, and one minute per slide when the content is less complex. Slides attract and hold attention, and reinforce what you say - provided you keep them simple and easy to read. Plan on covering at most 6 points per slide, covered by 6 to 12 spoken sentences and no more than about two spoken minutes. 

The conference hall will be equipped with a presentation notebook with MS Office, Acrobat Reader, and popular programs like Windows Media Player for playing videos. Hence, PowerPoint or PDF slides are strongly recommended. Please contact us if you need any particular software for this purpose. You should meet with your session chair during the break immediately prior to your session to upload your presentation on the room pc.

Note: All accepted papers must be presented by one author or by a qualified proxy. 

Poster presentation

Plan to arrive at the poster area about 15 minutes before your session begins so that you have ample time to put on your poster and report to the session chair.

Posters will be presented on poster boards of dimensions 1000mm (width) x 2200mm (height). The recommended poster size is A0: 841mm (width) x 1189mm (height), portrait format. Tape and pins will be provided at the conference to mount posters on the boards.

Poster sessions are a good medium for authors to present papers and meet with the interested audience for in-depth technical discussion. In addition, attendees find the poster sessions a good way to sample many papers in parallel sessions. Thus it is important that you display your message clearly and noticeably to attract people who may have an interest in your paper. You are encouraged to prepare talking points so that you can periodically present to those assembled around your poster throughout the poster session. You should concentrate on the key innovation and be ready to interact with the audience who approaches your poster.

Note: You must remain present for the entire duration of your poster session. Failing to do so may leave you a no-show or absence record.

If you need to print your poster, near the conference venue you can find a poster printing service here: https://goo.gl/maps/of9BS9fgL7pmyShZ9.
