Oral presentations

The lecture theatre is equipped with the following audio-visual equipment:

• Data Projector • Screen • Laptop with Windows and internet connection • Remote mouse/laser pointer • Lectern and microphone

Speakers are requested to bring their presentation on a USB memory stick in windows power point format and preload it onto the PC / laptop located in the lecture theatre. To optimise compatibility, particularly for the inclusion of multimedia components, speakers should include the original files so that it can be re-embedded if necessary. Direct connection of personal laptops (with set up in the break prior to the corresponding session) is an acceptable, but not preferred alternative. The electrical current in the UK is 230 volts AC and 3 pin plug sockets. If you need an adapter, please bring one with you. Adaptors can be purchased from the airport. The lecture theatre is reasonably large, so speakers should us a minimum of 16-point font size to ensure legibility. Poster presentations

Posters will be on display in the Terrace Lounge and the lecture theatre throughout the duration of the conference with dedicated poster sessions as scheduled in the programme.

Please note that during poster sessions, authors should stand close to their boards to answer questions and facilitate discussions on their work. If you are presenting a poster please ensure you display your poster in the board number that matches your poster number in the programme. Fixing material will be supplied.

Posters must be no larger than A0 in size (118.9 x 84.1cm / 46.8 x 33.1 inches), in a portrait format. If your poster does not fit within these dimensions, we cannot guarantee it will be displayed.

Poster presenters can mount their posters from 12:00 on Monday 4 September and must remove them by 12:40 on Thursday 7 September.
