Instructions for speakers
Most of the regular oral communications are schedule for 15 minutes and should be prepared for 12 min to allow for 3 min discussion; those with 20 min should be prepared for 17 min to allow for 3 min discussion. The default computer to be used for slide projection will have Windows XP with Office 2007. It may be possible to use your own machine or non-standard software but testing should be done with the audiovisual technician well before of the schedule time for the presentation and we cannot guarantee a satisfactory result.
Speakers should contact the session moderator in advance of the session and handle the file with the presentation to the audiovisual technician before 9 AM, during the coffee or lunch breaks.
Instructions for poster communications
Posters should be prepared with 0.9 m (horizontal) x 1.1 m (vertical) and should be put up during the first day of the conference.
