For chairs
- Please arrive at the appropriate lecture room 5 minutes before the start of your session to introduce yourself.
- Signs will be provided that indicate when the speaker has 5 minutes, 1 minute and no time remaining of their talk.
- Please make sure to start the session on time and use the signs to assist the speakers in finishing on time.
- Briefly introduce each speaker before they present, then thank them afterwards and open the floor to questions.
- There will be a further 5 minutes for questions after each presentation. It is your responsibility to stimulate discussion if no questions are forthcoming.
- If a speaker is not present then please advise the audience to attend a talk in an alternative lecture room rather than moving the next talk forward. This will ensure talks occur as scheduled.
For speakers
- Please arrive 5 minutes before the start of the session and make yourself known to the chair.
- Each lecture room will contain a computer, data projector, laser pointer and white board.
- You are not required to use slides to accompany your talk. If you choose to do so, they must be pdf or Powerpoint (ppt or pptx) files.
- You will be asked to send any slides you may be using to the committee before the conference. A member of the committee will launch your presentation.
- Talks are strictly 15 minutes plus 5 minutes for questions. Any speakers exceeding this time will be asked to stop by the chairperson. The chair will inform you when you have 5 minutes and 1 minute remaining.
For displaying a poster
- Please hand your poster to a committee member upon registering.

- During the poster session, please remain close to your poster to answer questions from interested participants.
- Your posters should include your name, affiliation and contact details (such as email). You might also consider including a picture of yourself but this is not necessary.
