Guidelines for Oral Presentations
- Stay within your allotted time, which includes three (3) minutes for discussion and changeover to the next speaker.
- The presentation must cover material from your submitted abstract
- Ensure that your ideas are logically organized and your points are clear
- Speak slowly and clearly. Word choice should be simple: use active words and short sentences
- Speak toward the audience.
- Load your presentation before your session begins
- Refer to the following style guide for tips on how to prepare your slides: http://www.projectionnet.com/Styleguide/presentationstyleguide.aspx
Supported Presentation Formats
- PowerPoint 2011 or earlier version
- PDF Reader: Adobe Acrobat
- Video Playback: Windows Media Player, QuickTime
Guidelines for Poster Presentations
- Materials for hanging your poster (push pins or velcro tape) will be provided
- Each presenter is provided with a 1.22 m high by 2.44 m wide (4‐foot by 8‐foot) poster board. Poster boards have a 2.5 cm (1‐inch) frame; ensure that your poster is smaller than 1.22x2.44 m.
- The presentation must cover material from your submitted abstract
- Place the title of your paper prominently at the top of the poster
- Include authors’ names and contact information prominently on your poster
- Prepare diagrams or charts so that they are legible at a distance of 2 meters.
- Paragraph and figure captions should be at least in a 24‐point font (0.9 cm height) and headers at least in a 36‐point font (1.2 cm height).
- Organize the presentation so it is clear, orderly, and self‐explanatory
- Group similar ideas and avoid cluttering your poster with too much text. Label different elements as I, II, III; or 1, 2, 3; or A, B, C to make it easier for viewing.
- Include the background of your research followed by results and conclusions.
- Please do not laminate your poster to ensure that it can be recycled
