Presentation guidelines
Each author presenting will be asked to submit PowerPoint slides in advance of the course. The slides will be loaded onto the lecture theatre computer prior to the relevant session. Delegates should bring a copy of their slides on CD/Memory Stick with them to the course as a back up.
Presentations should be submitted by Wednesday 19th August 2009, please ensure that PowerPoint presentations are submitted in .ppt format.
Presentations should be sent to eventsa2@theiet.org
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 A0 size, portrait style.
Author registration
Each paper must have at least one author registered and paid for by the Early Bird date of Friday, 31 July 2009, to avoid the paper being withdrawn from the conference proceedings. The author must be present at the conference to present the submission either orally or by poster presentation. You are reminded that the Institution or other associated societies cannot meet any travelling or subsistence expenses for authors, either prior to or during the conference.
