Following is helpful information for
preparing both oral and poster
presentations.
Oral
Presentations
AUDIOVISUAL: Microsoft
PowerPoint and Adobe Acrobat Reader 6.0 are the only acceptable audiovisual
formats for electronic presentations. Presentations cannot use overhead
or slide projectors. The venue is equipped with a dedicated projector
and PC (and Macintosh) laptop operating on Windows 2000, and loaded
with MS Office 2000 and Adobe Acrobat 6.0. It is your responsibility
to make sure that your presentation will run under this system. Save
your files in a format compatible with MS Office 2000 for Windows
2000, or with Adobe Acrobat Reader 6.0.
PREPARATION: Oral presenters will need to provide
their powerpoint files for pre-loading onto the dedicated laptop on the morning of
the day of their presentation to the member of the organising committee
managing the projector-laptop on the given day. Acceptable media:
CDs, DVD's, Flash drives. You will need to ensure that these are compatible
with our laptops - which will have CD and DVD readers, and USB ports.
PRESENTATION LENGTH: Oral presentations will be
strictly limited to 15 minutes. A 5-minute period between presentations will accommodate
questions, discussion, and introduction of the next speaker. This
5-minute period belongs to the audience and to the chairs of the session,
not to the speakers. TIME LIMITS WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED BY SESSION
CHAIRS.
CANCELLATION: If circumstances
prevent attendance, the author should attempt to find another individual
to make the presentation. If cancellation is unavoidable, the author
should notify medecosxi2007@bgpa.wa.gov.au
as soon as possible.
Poster
Presentations
POSTER DIMENSIONS: Poster presentations should be
no larger than A0 size (840 mm x 1188 mm).
POSTER DISPLAY BOARDS:
Pushpins and/or velcro will be supplied, and are the only method of
attaching the poster to the board. Poster boards will only cater for
portrait, not landscape, format.
POSTER PRESENTATION: Posters will be displayed for
the duration of the conference so that interested persons can view the poster even
when the author is not in attendance. An informal late-afternoon session
will be allocated to enable authors to discuss their presentations.
Authors are required to be present for this scheduled 1.5 hour period
during the day the poster is being displayed.
