Presentation Guidelines


- Poster presentations

Posters will have dedicated sessions during the conference, during which authors must be next to their poster to answer questions. The poster size must not exceed the A0 (84 cm X 118 cm) portrait format. Please use an appropriate font size for the posters so that they are readable by the participants 1.5 meter away. The poster message should be clear and understandable without oral explanation. Please assure the poster is placed on the board before the beginning of the poster session. Authors are required to stand by their posters during the whole poster session since this is when the participation certificates will be given. The poster presenter must also bring the poster already printed.


- Oral presentations

The conference room is equipped with a computer running Microsoft Windows with Microsoft Powerpoint and Adobe Acrobat Reader. The presentation should be sent through the web site in PDF format to the organizing committee before the 21st of March 2011. All authors are required to use the template that will be provided for the presentation.
