Presentations:
The duration of a presentation is determined by the presentation type.
| Invited Presentations: | 20 minutes, including Q&A |
| Contributed Oral Presentations: | 15 minutes, including Q&A |
| Poster Presentations: | Time block to be announced |
An LCD projector & computer (Windows, MS Powerpoint & Adobe Acrobat Reader) will be available in every session room for regular presentations.
You must submit your PowerPoint presentation slides via EDAS than 27 May 2024. If you have any issues doing so, please contact awisdom@conferencecatalysts.com.
Preparation of Visuals:
- To keep the conference on schedule, presentations from personal laptops will NOT be possible. In the case large movie files are to be shown, work with conference staff to ensure they load and play correctly well before the scheduled session.
- Presentations should be prepared for an aspect ratio of 16:9, which is the setting that shall be used for all projectors. Any presentations using 4:3 aspect ratio will still be viewable in general, but some parts may be too small for the audience to clearly see when projected in 16:9. As such, 16:9 is strongly encouraged.
- To avoid software compatibility problems with MS Powerpoint, speakers are advised to EMBED ALL FONTS in their Powerpoint presentation.
- Speakers should arrive in their session room 10 minutes BEFORE the start of their session to report to the chairs. A technician will also be available in case technical assistance is required.
General Considerations:
• Limit the number of words per visual.
• Leave space, at least the height of a capital letter, between lines of text.
• All fonts, including that on graphs, should be 16 point or larger.
• Graphs and charts should have bold lines and symbols that contrast sharply with the background.
Changes to your Presentation:
Should you make any changes to your presentation after submission, you will need to bring your presentation on a USB stick and arrive at your session room 10 minutes prior to your session to upload your presentation on the presentation laptop. To avoid software compatibility problems, speakers are advised to put .ppt, .pptx and .pdf versions of their presentation on the USB stick.
Poster Presentations:
Posters may be hung at the beginning of the conference and remain for viewing throughout the day in which you will present.
The size of the poster panel that is available to each presenter is: 84 cm wide x 119 cm height (33 inch wide x 46 inch height)
