Speaker Prep Room Information

The Speaker Prep room is located in the Murchison Room.

Speaker Preparation

  • Located in the Murchison Room.
  • Please try to come and upload your presentation on Monday 26 August as there will be 2 technicians in the room that day.
  • On the other days there will be one technician. Allow for at least 2 hours before commencement of the session you are participating in so that your presentation can be loaded and tested.
  • The technician will be on hand to assist with any transfer / loading issues and to help you check your presentation.

Technical information

  • You should bring your talk on a USB, saved in a format for display on a PC within the room (ie PowerPoint).
  • Please save your file as a PowerPoint file.
  • Your slides should have an aspect ratio of 16:9 (wide screen). The preferred presentation dimensions are 16:9 however 4:3 will also display sufficiently.
  • Every room is equipped with a (digital) screen.
  • Please note there are no Macintosh computers in the preparation rooms – please format your USB drives appropriately (FAT32).
  • There will be a mouse pointer available at the lectern if required.

Oral Presentation

Your slides:

  • Be sure that the PowerPoint slides have the same layout all way through.
  • Observe that the content of each slide is not too detailed.
  • The possibilities of animations are numerous. Please do not exaggerate.
  • Graphs and figures are often better than tables at an oral presentation. Flow charts are very appropriate to describe material.
  • If you wish to add films or other sorts of interactive materials, please include these in the presentation (do not access them through internet, as this may not work to your satisfaction) and inform the conference secretariat beforehand.
  • As mentioned above you have been allocated your presentation time, as well as question time. You cannot go over this combined time.
