Instructions for Oral Presenters

DURATION OF TALK

Contributed talk:  15 minutes and allow a three-minute period for questions

Invited talk: 30 minutes and allow a five-minute period for questions

It is important to respect the time allocation to ensure that the session runs smoothly, efficiently and finishes on time.

CONFERENCE ROOM AV EQUIPMENT

All technical session rooms are equipped with overhead projectors, video projector, manual and electric screens, internet access and a Windows XP computer. Technical assistance will be available either through room monitors, roving technical assistants or at the Registration desk.

Presenters are asked to put their talks into PDF or PowerPoint format and upload them via the congress program web site at least a day prior to the start of the session (instructions below). They could also bring a PDF backup on a USB key to be downloaded onto the computer 30 minutes prior to the start of the session. Presenters are strongly encouraged not to use their own computers. Those who do use their own computers risk having their talk shortened if technical difficulties arise, as we need to adhere to the published schedule. Note that for MAC computers, presenters need to bring their own adaptor.

Since talks must be kept to the schedule, you are encouraged to arrive for your session at least 15 minutes early or test the presentation in advance. Assistance will be available through a student volunteer in the room.
