Presentation information

Oral presentation authors only

Each author presenting an oral paper will be asked to submit PowerPoint slides in advance of the conference. Authors will be asked to include their unique paper number with their email. The slides will be loaded onto the lecture theatre computer prior to the relevant session. Delegates should bring a copy of their slides on USB stick with them to the conference as a back up.

PowerPoint presentation guidelines will be posted on the website nearer the time.

Poster presentation authors only

In addition to your written paper included in the conference publication, the poster session is your opportunity to present your work directly to other registrants and to discuss it with them. It is a particularly useful format for small group discussion and debate.

Try to attract the registrants to your poster. Unless they come to it, you cannot expect to have a discussion with them. The display should therefore be visually appealing and should contain the essence of your paper in a form that is easy to understand.

Your display should consist chiefly of keywords, diagrams, photographs, etc. Colour photographs are particularly attractive in a poster display. Diagrams and graphs should have clear captions. All lettering should be easy to read. Handwritten text or diagrams are not recommended. All graphs and diagrams should be drawn with thick lines (preferably 1mm or more in width). Use colour to emphasise important features.

The poster display is important. You are recommended to take as much trouble with it as you did in preparing your written paper.

Your display

You should clearly display the following information on your poster board:

• The title of your paper
• The authors’ names and their affiliations
• Your usual contact details (e.g. an email address) to allow delegates to follow up discussion

Display board

Display board sizes will be confirmed shortly.
