Oral Presentations

The time allocated for Oral Presentations includes question time. 

• Plenary talks: 35 minutes talk + 10 minutes for questions
• Invited talks: 25 minutes talk + 5 minutes for questions
• Contributed talks: 12 minutes talk + 3 minutes for questions 

Please prepare your presentation with these timings in mind, as the  session chairs will be instructed to keep strictly to schedule. 

Speakers are asked to meet their session chair and upload their presentation to the on-site laptop during the break before their scheduled presentation.  To help things run smoothly, we would prefer presentations in PPT or PDF format - we do not plan to change laptops within a session so please prepare your presentations accordingly.

Poster presentations

Each poster will have its own poster board.  Posters may be hung in either landscape or portrait orientation however they will fit better if in portrait and a maximum size of A0.  Posters may be affixed to the poster board with Velcro tabs - available at the registration desk.  Please find the poster board with your poster number which will be found in the detailed programme (to be finalised).  

Poster SLAM: all poster presenters have the opportunity to present 1 slide and talk to the audience for 3 minutes during our Poster SLAM. The purpose of the Poster SLAM is for you to encourage people to visit your poster during the poster session. There will be a PRIZE for the best Poster SLAM talk each day.
