ORAL PRESENTATION INSTRUCTIONS

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 15 minutes.  We recommend that the presentation of your slides should take about 12-14 minutes, leaving 1-3 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. 

Although not mandatory, we ask you to use one of the templates provided below as the basis for preparing your presentation.

The conference hall will be equipped with a presentation computer equipped with Microsoft Powerpoint, 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.
