Basic presentation requirements
- Presentation format: PPT.doc or PPT.docx.
- MAC-compatible presentation.
- Please take steps to compress any videos.
- Each slide should be concise, uncluttered and readable from a distance;
include only key words and phrases for visual reinforcement. Avoid lengthy
text.
AV Set up
- Basic AV setup will be provided: laser pointer, cordless mike, desktop mike,
basic sound system.
- If you have any audio/video to be played, they should be checked in with the
AV team 24 hours before your presentation.
- Upload your presentation at least 3 days before traveling to the conference
venue.
Upload your presentation slides
- It is mandatory to submit the presentation slides at least 3-days prior to
the conference start date.
- Use the email address you've provided when submitting your abstract and
follow the instructions on the screen to upload your presentation slides
(file size should be less than 8 MB).
- You can also email the presentation slides to the designated conference
email ID at least 3-days prior to the conference start date.
- All presentations will be pre-checked and loaded into your session room
laptop (Mac) in a folder with day 1 or 2, or 3 with presentation timings.
- Bring a copy of your presentation slides in a clean memory stick for backup
purposes.
- All the presentations will be permanently deleted at the end of every
session.
Considerations for PC Users [create on PC then move to Mac]
- Appropriate extension usage: use .PPTX, .PPSX if saving from PowerPoint
2007/2008/2011/2011 format or use .PPT or .PPS if saving to an
earlier-version format or saving from an earlier version.
- Copy the media file to the folder where the PowerPoint file is, and only
then insert it; otherwise links to most media files will break.
- AVI or MPEG are better choice files for videos or sounds; don't use WMV
(Windows Media Player).
- Usage of fonts: Arial, Times New Roman, Courier and Symbol are best
presented on MACS.
- Don't squeeze your text into placeholders: Text rendering on PC vs MAC (font
substitution) can cause your squeezed text to get cut off by text boxes.
Poster Guidelines
- Poster will be displayed to one side of a tack board. The recommended poster
size is 90 cm (Width) x 200 cm (Length).
- A poster board number cut-out will be provided and must be visible at all

e-mail address, phone, and the institution(s).

tubular packaging or a portfolio case. Pushpins, or thumbtacks will be
provided to mount your poster.
- The designated poster presenter (author or co-author) must be present at the
assigned space during the designated time to discuss the work presented.
