Presentation Guidelines

- There are typically four talks in each session of 90 minutes. This gives 20 minutes for each speaker including questions, and 2-3 minutes for switching speaker.

- Time your presentation to fit within 15-18 minutes, leaving time for audience questions.

- Arrive at least 15 minutes before your session starts to check in with the session chair, and to set up the computer and projector.

- Limit your presentation to key issues with a brief summary. Clearly state which problem you are solving, and why it is relevant.

- If sessions do not have 4 talks the scheduled talks should still stick to the 20 minute slots to allow delegates to transfer from other sessions if they wish.The unused slot(s) can be used for general discussion.

- If a speaker does not show up, the original time schedule should be adhered to rather than sliding every talk forward. This allows for effective session jumping.

- Attendees are asked to turn off cell phones and mobile devices before the presentations begin.
