Instruction for Presenters

  1. Each oral presentation is limited to 25 mins. The Chairs of the sessions will be keeping to the time strictly. They will sound the bell once when the 20 mins have passed. You should make a suitable conclusion to your presentation by then.

To minimise technical difficulties, we request all presenters to save their presentation to a USB storage device in a format that can be read by MS Powerpoint 2003 or compatible on a Window‐based PC.
     
  3. Presenters should transfer their files to the computers as early as possible. Preferable times for presenters to load in their files are during coffee‐breaks and lunch. Personnel will be available to assist the presenters.
