Please
bring hand-outs for your presentation, and/or a sign up sheet so attendees can
receive additional information on your research.
The
poster board dimensions are 2.44 m wide x 1.22 m high (or 8 feet wide x 4 feet
high) with a frame of 2.5 cm or 1 inch around the whole board reducing the size
slightly. These are maximum sizes and smaller posters are fine. The poster
boards have a cork backing. Fixing
materials will be provided. The poster boards will have numbers to correspond
with your presentation number in the conference program. You may mount your
paper early in the morning so that participants can use break time
All
talks are scheduled for 15 minutes, with 5 minutes for questions. This will allow
precise synchronization of presentations in the three parallel sessions, so it
will be possible to move between sessions during the 5-minute question periods.
The
chairperson will use a bell to signal you with 5 minutes remaining (1 ring), 1
minute (2 rings) and STOP (3 rings). Speakers and session chairs need to pay
very close attention to timing.
There
will be NO overhead projector, so you need to use Powerpoint. Windows XP
laptops and LCD projectors (beamers) will be available for PowerPoint presentations
in each room.
Furthermore,
you are NOT allowed to connect your own laptop to the beamers, because
experience tells us that this is a constant source of technical errors,
annoyance and delay.
Go
to the meeting room in time (15 minutes before the session starts) to save your
presentation on the projecting laptop (from a cd, disc, memory stick or jump
drive), and check that your presentation works. You can use break time for this
purpose. Note: Apple users should check beforehand their presentation format
for use on a Windows system.
Alternatively, you can send your powerpoint presentation to Canada on line. The emailaccount for submissions is:
sssr2005@wlu.ca You can send your files from June 1, until Wednesday, June 22, 2005. NO LATER. The local organizer, Alexandra Gottardo, will make sure that your presentation then is on the correct computer ready for use.
