Presenter Guidelines
Oral Presentations
Equipment
Each session room will be equipped with a lectern, data projector (for use with a laptop computer eg PowerPoint or PDF presentation), laser pointer and an IBM compatible laptop. We will supply the computer pre-loaded with MS Office and Acrobat. Please advise the Conference Secretariat before Monday 23 August 2010 if you require any additional audiovisual aides and equipment eg MAC, video, DVD (the provision of additional equipment is at the discretion of the Organising Committee).
Bringing Your Presentation To The Venue
When you arrive at Adelaide Convention Centre, check in at the Registration Desk. Staff will direct you to the Speakers Support Centre.
If you are using PowerPoint, laptops will be provided by the organisers in each session room. There will be no provision for presenters to connect their own laptop. This will ensure the optimum presentation environment.
Your presentation must be given to the Speakers Support Centre Technician on a CD or USB storage device. Alternatively, you can bring your own laptop from which your presentation can be extracted and directly transferred to the network server. Supported file format is Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 or below, for IBM/PC compatible machines. Special arrangements need to be made for Apple Mac or other specialist software support. You will be asked to verify your presentation on a local computer. The presentation will then be transferred. The transfer might take a little while - please allow this time, plus a few more minutes to verify your presentation.
Also, when saving your presentation ready for this conference, please save any non true-type fonts into the presentation. For all true-type fonts, this process is not required. Note PowerPoint will not support all types of true type fonts. If you are using an uncommon font type it is recommended you save the font style separately with the presentation and bring it to the Speakers Support Centre.
How do we get the presentation on-screen with you in control?
The computer in the room in which you are presenting will access the presentation. This computer will be under the control of a Technical Operator who will assist you. The lectern will be equipped with a simple remote with forward and reverse buttons, which will have the same effect as the up and down arrow keys on your keyboard. Please DO NOT take your presentation disk directly to the venue room as this can severely disrupt the running of the conference.
Poster Presentations
The recommended poster size is A0 portrait style 841mm wide by 1189mm high - please ensure your poster does not exceed 841mm wide. Poster boards are Velcro compatible and the organisers will supply Velcro.
