Presentation guidelines

Oral Presentations

– Presentation Logistics

  • Presenters may load talks in the auditorium up to 45 minutes prior to the beginning of the session.
  • Final presentations should be saved to a USB drive that the staff will upload on to the presentation computer. **We ask out the respect for the presenters in your session and all conference participants that speakers do not use personal computers for presentations as this delays the overall session.
  • Ensure all images and videos are embedded into your presentation to prevent corrupted files.
  • Talk lengths are as follows and please strictly keep your presentation times. Plenary talk: 30 minutes (+ 10 minute Q&A’s).  Invited speaker talk: 20 minutes (+ 5 minute Q&A’s).  Short selected talk from abstracts: 10 minutes (+ 2 minute Q&A’s).
