Information for Oral Presenters

 

Speaker Preparation Room
The Speaker Preparation Room will be located onsite at the Melbourne Convention Centre and will be open during the conference hours.

 

On arrival at the conference you will need to visit the Speaker Preparation Room so that technicians can check your presentation and load it onto the server.  Preferably you should do this as soon as you've collected your name badge from the Registration Desk.  However if that's not possible or there's a queue, you can try again later - but not leaving it any later than either the day before or at least 4 hours before you are scheduled to speak.

 

Presentation Time Allocation

Generally the following amount of time is allocated for each presentation type, however you should refer to the scheduling information emailed to you by the conference organisers for exact details:

 

  40 mins - Plenary Presentation (incl 3 mins questions)

  30 mins - Symposia Presentation (incl 3 mins questions)

  15 mins - Proffered Paper (incl Case Studies) Presentation (incl 3 mins questions)

 

Audio Visual Equipment
All oral presentations should be presented via data projection and are preferred in a Windows for PC based application eg. PowerPoint.

 

If your presentation is in a platform other than Windows for PC based, it would be appreciated if you either save it for Windows or convert it prior to arrival at the conference.  If unable to do so, please ensure you let us know well in advance which platform you plan to use so that technicians can be ready for you - if you don't say anything, you may have problems with your presentation when you get onsite.

 

Each meeting room will be set up for data projection using Windows for PC based software, will be networked to the Speaker Preparation Room and will supported by a professional a/v technician.  You will be able to use your laptop in the Speaker Preparation Room but not in the meeting rooms.   Please also note that slide projectors, overhead projectors and internet access in the meeting rooms are all not available.  (Please advise the conference organisers as soon as possible if you will require any other form of a/v equipment.)

 

Please avoid having to make changes or modifications to your presentation when onsite.

 

If there are movie files within your presentation, please ensure that you remember to bring these additional files, plus your presentation, with you!
