Oral and Poster Presentation Guidelines

***Ensure your participation – REGISTER*** 

 

Oral (short slide) Presentation guidelines

Oral presentations (except plenary and keynote) have a 15 minutes slot – please prepare a PowerPoint presentation that lasts for up to 10-12 minutes MAXIMUM to allow 3-5 minutes for discussion after your talk.  This equates to roughly 10 slides excluding your title and acknowledgement slides. 
Please make sure you finish your talk with in 12 minutes - it is a good idea to rehearse it beforehand to check your timings- to allow plenty of time for discussion from the audience.  We will give you a warning at 11 minutes so you have a minute to wrap up.  We will be very strict about timing and will stop you when your 12 minutes is up even if you have not finished. If you need any further information please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Please make sure to check the session assingnment location and also the submission ID# to find the correct boards for your poster presentation. Also, please remember that you are expected to be by your poster on August 15th and 16th for one hour after lunch during the poster presentation (attended) period. Please see detaild schedule on the final program. The title and authors must appear at the top of the poster. We also recommend including the submission ID# at the left top corner of your poster.
