Dear Presenter/Discussant,

As the Symposium date approaches, we would like to give you information for your paper presentation.

1. Prepare a legible short Bio (Maximum 1/2 page. Name the paper title on the top of the page).

2. Meet the session chair prior to the session, introduce yourself and present him/her with your bio. Make sure that he/she will pronounce your name properly, or that you will introduce yourself and your co-authored prior to the presentation.

3. Maintain the time-line, and periodically “eye” the session chair that may motion to you the time left for your presentation.

4. Leave time for few questions and answers (1 or 2  minutes). If there are more questions than the time allowed, make yourself available after the session or during the breaks for answering questions.

5. On the presentation:

a. First of all, the official language for this Symposium is English/Arabic. Please prepare your presentation in English/Arabic. 

b. Prepare your presentation as a power point presentation, highlighting the important points in the paper.

c. The Symposium will be providing LCD projectors and machines for presenters. You are also welcome to bring your own laptop. In case you decide to use the Symposium machine for presentation, please bring a copy of your slides on a USB key or CD. Our machines will be able to display MS PowerPoint, MS Word, and Adobe Reader compatible presentations.

d. Remember that the presentation is for 10 Minutes. Hence, between 8-10 slides is a fair estimate for the number of slides in your presentation. Other supporting slides may be available and can be retrieved in answering specific questions.

e. Make the slides readable and do not crowd it to avoid loosing the audience. In this regard it is suggested that you rehearse the presentation if you are first time presenter, for timing and readability.

f. If you cannot do the “Flipping” of slides yourself, you may ask your co-author or the session chair for assistance in this regard.

g. The Symposium administration “Cleans” each computer after each session; however, if you want to remove your presentation yourself, you may do that after the conclusion of the session.

Last but not least, We suggest all presenters should reply us with your slides by March 30, 2010. For your kindly reply will make this Symposium proceeds smoothly.

Good Luck for a Successful Presentation.
