Presentation Guidelines

Audio-Visual Equipment:
Each meeting room comes equipped with a computer, LCD projector and screen. The computers will be configured with Windows 10 Operating System as well as with Microsoft Office and Adobe Acrobat Reader. Please bring your presentation files in thumb drives / flash drives only.

We would like to suggest that you keep a backup copy either on your cloud or other online storage.

The LCD projector at the conference venue uses a projection ratio of 16:9.  You may wish to prepare your slides using this ratio.

Due to the variety of adapters available, we are not able to cater to all types of adapters, as such, presenters using their own laptop are reminded to bring along their own VGA adapter to connect to the video projector.

Length of Presentation:
Total duration including Q&A and speaker changeover is

• 05 minutes for each flash oral presentation (5 min with Q&A during poster session) **,
• 15 minutes for each oral presentation (12 min + 3 min Q&A),
• 30 minutes for each invited/keynote talk (27 min + 3  min Q&A)

**Flash Oral Presentations consist of a 5-min oral presentation followed by poster presentation during the symposium’s poster session

You are requested to be at the presentation room at least 15 minutes before the session starts.

During your presentation:

• Be considerate to the other speakers and audience by staying within your allocated time. The allocated time for your presentation includes a discussion and a changeover to the next speaker.
• Session Chairs will hold you to the allotted time. This is essential to ensure adequate time for questions and discussion as well as adherence to the schedule.
