Presenter and Chair Guidelines
Length of Your Presentation
The length of your presentation is determined by the number of presenters in your session. Each session is 90 minutes, so divide that by the number of presenters. Make sure to allow a few minutes for Q&A at the end of your talk.
Slide Format
- An optional PowerPoint template can be downloaded here.
- Use the 16×9 format option in PowerPoint.
- Use type no smaller than 20pt (24pt and larger is best).
- Slides do not need to be submitted before the meeting. You will bring them with you and present using your own computer.
- You do not need to submit your full paper
Your Audio-Visual Requirements
- There will be a projector and screen in every session room.
- Please bring your own laptop or notebook to connect to the projector in your meeting room. If you have a Mac, please bring your own adapter. Your computer output (USB-A, USB-C, etc.) will need to connect to the projector’s HDMI input. If your computer has an HDMI port, no adapter is needed. Technical assistance will be available if necessary.
- If needed, please bring your own power adapter (Singapore operates on a 230V supply voltage with G plugs).
- We strongly recommend you also bring your slides on a USB as backup.
Presentation Guidelines
The room and location of your session are listed in the Sessions section and in the mobile app schedule. Please be on time for your session and check in with the session chair.
- Presentations are expected to be in English.
- Limit the presentation to key issues with a brief summary.
- Time your presentation to fit within your designated time span, leaving time for audience questions.
- You may bring copies of your paper or other handouts to distribute to the audience.
Posters
Poster presenters need to provide a hard copy of their poster to display on-site.
Please bring a standard A0 size poster (841 x 1189 mm or 33.1 x 46.8 mm) or smaller. The poster orientation should be done vertically/portrait. We will be displaying 2 posters per poster board. Your poster should cover the main points of your work and be as self-explanatory as possible.
Session Chairs
The role of the chair is to coordinate the smooth running of the session. Please begin your session on time with a brief introduction and remind attendees to silence their phones. Meeting rooms will not have reliable internet access. Please keep the session on track and do not let anyone speak over their allotted time.
