Presenter Guidelines
We hope preparations are going well for your presentation. To assist, we have included a reminder of the presentation guidelines below.
Presentation Length
- Oral Presentation - 20 minutes including questions and changeover to the next speaker (please ensure you conclude your talk at 15 minutes so there is time for audience questions and changeover to the next presenter). The session chair will give you a time warning to assist you with concluding on time.
- Speed Talk - 5 minutes (it is unlikely there will be time for audience questions, please conclude your talk at 4 minutes to allow for changeover to the next presenter). The session chair will give you a time warning to assist you with concluding on time.
- Workshop - differing lengths based on content and program.
Slides
Please ensure your presentation slides are prepared in 16:9 format, and uploaded to the dropbox link emailed to you. Please also bring a copy of your presentation with you, as a back up.
Presentations should use the following file name convention: Session date_First Name_Last Name_Presentation title
Please note that if you are using a web-based program to create your presentation you need to provide an offline version (and have a backup copy of this). While you may be able to show your presentation ‘live’ using the venue wifi, you cannot rely solely on an internet connection to run your presentation.
If you have videos or other separate elements to your presentation, ensure that you have copies of these files with your presentation, these can be uploaded to the same dropbox link and should be labelled clearly in the file name.
Before Session
Please ensure you are in your session room at least 15 minutes prior to the start of your session (please check the start time of your session in the program in you are unsure). You can familiarise yourself with the room and AV set up. Your session chair will be available in the room should you have any questions. The AV team will also be on hand if needed.
During Your Session
The session chair will be responsible for introducing each presenter and ensuring the session runs on time. You will be given a warning when you are nearly out of time, and when it is time to conclude your presentation. Workshops will be lead by the workshop facilitators.
Audio Visual Equipment
Unless arranged prior, only standard audio visual equipment will be provided in the session room. If you have any questions or special requirements, please contact the Congress Secretariat.
