Talk Set-up and Timing

  • Each symposium/spoken paper presenter is given 20 minutes, including 15 minutes for presentation and 5 minutes for questions.

Chairs

  • Be present in the room before the session starts. Check that presenters are present and are set up. Technical support is available.

  • Introduce each talk: speaker and title. 

  • Please stick to time. Prompt cards are available: 5 minutes left (after 10 minutes); 1 minute left (after 14 minutes); stop @ 15 minutes. 

  • If a presenter does not show, please stick to timing in schedule to allow delegates to move between sessions for specific talks.

  • If you also present at the session, delegate chair responsibility during your presentation for your talk.

Poster Dimensions

  • The conference will provide supplies (e.g., power sticks) for hanging your poster.
  • Please identify your poster number in the conference program. The poster boards at the conference are also numbered, so that you can find the poster board for your presentation.
