Information for Oral Presenters

Speaker Preparation Room
The Speaker Preparation Room will be located onsite at the Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre and will be open during 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:

45 mins - Plenary Presentation (includes 3 mins for questions)

30 mins - Symposia Presentation (includes 3 mins for questions)

15 mins - Proffered Paper Presentation (includes 2 mins for questions)

Audio Visual Equipment
All oral presentations must be presented via data projection in a Windows for PC based application eg. Powerpoint.

Mac platforms, other than Powerpoint, can not be accommodated.

If your presentation is in another platform, you are required to save it for Windows or convert it to a Powerpoint presentation prior to your arrival at the conference.

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.

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