Visual Aids
We will only permit the use of PowerPoint presentations.
A laptop will be available at the presentation venue and your
presentation will be loaded before the start of your session. You are
welcome to use your own laptop if you may have specific software that
you may want to run as part of your presentation. But it is recommended
to try that before the start of the session to avoid unpleasant
surprises!
Time Allocation
Each regular submitted paper has been allocated 20
minutes for presentation, this includes time for questions, and this
time allocation must not be exceeded. Specially invited papers have been
allocated 30 minutes, again this includes time for questions.
The Session Chairs have been asked to be strict with
their time keeping of presentations. It is therefore imperative that you
do not exceed your time allocation.
Useful Presentation Tips:
Do not put too much information on the slides:
-
A maximum of six or seven lines including the title
(not more than 20 words).
-
Avoid abbreviations, mathematics and tables of
results (graphs or histograms are much better
-
Lettering should be lowercase, medium or bold and at
least Arial 22 point
-
Keep diagrams as simple as possible
-
Company logos, if used, should be of a modest size
Make the most of the presentation time:
-
Speak clearly and avoid colloquial English – not all
delegates have English as their native language.
-
Summarise your written paper and present any updated
material and results, concentrating on the basic concepts and
conclusions, not on details.
-
Please note that questions may be taken following
your presentation, this should be accounted for in the preparation
of your presentation.
