Instructions for Presenters

Oral presentations
Each lecture theatre will be equipped as standard with the following audio-visual equipment:

• OHP
• Data Projector
• PC / Laptop with PowerPoint facilities (Office XP and Windows XP)
• Laser Pointer*
  

Speakers wishing to use additional audio-visual equipment or intending to present from a Macintosh computer are asked to contact Claire Garland (claire.garland@iop.org) prior to the conference.

Presentations
Speakers are asked to introduce themselves to the chairperson at least 10 minutes before the start of the session.

Speakers intending to use PowerPoint or similar are requested to bring their presentation on CD or USB memory stick and preload them on PC located in the lecture theatre. Speakers should save their presentation into the appropriate prenamed session folders pre-set on the desktop and files should be saved by speakers surname and inital. To optimise compatibility, particularly the for the inclusion of multimedia components, PowerPoint presentations should have been saved using PowerPoints "Package for CD" facility. Direct connection of personal laptops (with set up in the break prior to the corresponding session) is an acceptable but not preferred alternative.

Some of the lecture theatres are large, and speakers should use a minimum 15-point font size in PowerPoint slides to ensure legibility.

Speakers intending to use overhead transparencies should ensure that the slide is legible if held at arms length.

The arrangements for computer based presentations are firm, but speakers are reminded that it is always prudent to have a back up of their slides on overheads.

Duration of talks

Plenary lectures	45 minutes (40 + 5 minutes for questions)
Invited lectures	30 minutes (25 + 5 minutes for questions)
Contributed lectures	15 minutes (12 + 3 minutes for questions)

Presenters are asked to prepare their talks to match the allocated times which will be rigidly enforced by session chairs. Digital clocks will be available in each lecture theatre.

Poster Presentations
Posters will be on display during three poster sessions. Each poster board measures 2.1m high x 1.2m wide (portrait) and are Velcro compatible; posters must fit within these dimensions. Velcro will be provided. Each poster has a unique poster number, a plan will be provided to assist poster presenters locate their board.

Poster Session 1 (P1)
From 08:30 - 18:45 on Monday 4 September

Poster Session 2 (P2)
From 08:30 - 18:45 on Tuesday 5 September

Poster Session 3 (P3)
From 08:30 - 18:15 on Wednesday 6 September

All posters will be displayed in the exhibition area of the Renold Building.

Each presenter is responsible for ensuring that their poster is displayed in the correct session on the board allocated, as specified in the conference programme.

Presenters should ensure that their poster is displayed by 09:00 on the day of their session, and is taken down before 19:00. Although organisers will Endeavour to save poster material, no guarantee can be made for posters not removed at the correct times.

* Note only red laser pointers may be used.
