Preparation for Presentation Materials

Regular and Invited/Special Sessions

Each speaker has 20 minutes for his presentation, including time for computer preparation, questions, and discussion. A typical presentation will include one minutes for PC preparation and the speaker's introduction by the chairperson, and the remaining 19 minutes for the actual presentations including approximately four minutes of Q&A discussion. All sessions must run on time. Each room is equipped with a video projector. The speakers must bring their own PC and operate it by themselves.

Instructions for Speakers can be download as pdf.


Video and Interactive Sessions

A video clip of 1.5 to 3 minutes illustrating a scientific contribution including background, methods, results, discussion, and conclusions should be prepared by authors. The video should be self-explanatory thanks to a comprehensive narration recorded in author's voice. In the video sessions, each speaker has 1.5-3 minutes to play the video clip followed by 2-3.5 minutes for Q&A discussion. Each video session is followed by the corresponding interactive session. Authors must present their works both in the video session and the interactive session.


An interactive session is scheduled after each video session. Authors must present their works both in the interactive session and the video session. During the scheduled core time of the presentations, all assigned speakers should be present in front of their poster boards and be prepared to explain them. Area of the poster may not exceed two pages of A1 paper size (841 mm x 594 mm / 33.1" x 23.4") as shown below. Only portrait format is acceptable. Presenters should put up their posters with the pushpins available in the session room provided by the secretariat. No other equipment or electricity for image/video projection will be provided.
