PRESENTATIONS

You will be allowed 10 minutes for oral presentations, and then a maximum of 5 minutes for questions and discussion. Presentations should be in PowerPoint (preferred) or pdf format. We suggest 10-12 slides - definitely no more than 20! The conference program is very full and therefore session chairs will have to be very strict in timings. Bring your presentation in a USB stick and contact the conference staff to copy your presentation on the PC used for projection before the beginning of your session.

​

POSTER FORMAT

Dimensions of posters should not exceed 122 cm (horizontal) by 183 cm (vertical). For those of you not familiar with SI (Système international d'unités), this translates to 4 feet (horizontal) by 6 feet (vertical). Material to hang up your poster will be provided by the conference staff. There will be a dedicated poster session on the first afternoon (Tuesday) where 1-minute oral introductions to all the posters can be given. For this introduction we request a single PowerPoint slide (with a white background) from you one week in advance of the conference. On this slide we suggest you put your name, the title and maybe one or two pertinent introduction points or pictures so the audience can get a flavour of the science but not the science itself. No animation or video is allowed as you will only have a maximum of 60 seconds to introduce your poster. We suggest that in the 60 seconds you get straight to the point of what the science is about and why people may want to visit your poster. The audience will be able to come and talk to you by your poster at the end of the introductions or later in the conference. All posters will be displayed and available for 3 days.
