Presentation formats

Oral presentations

Standard oral presentations will be allotted 20 minutes each: 15 minutes for speaking, 3 minutes for questions, and 2 minutes for transition. Because the question period is important, speakers are strongly encouraged to keep their talks to 15-minutes. In order to ensure that participants can move between concurrent sessions, the schedule will be strictly observed.

Presentations will be made using PowerPoint. Presenters should bring their talks to the conference on a flash drive. Speakers will not be allowed to attach their own laptops to the projection system. Specific instructions for loading talks will be provided in June.

Poster presentations

Posters will be displayed on boards that are 240 cm wide x 120 cm tall (i.e., landscape orientation). The poster boards are raised on legs, so that the top of the poster board is about 200 cm off the ground. Pins will be provided.

The poster session will take place from 12:30 to 5:30 p.m on July 8 in Keoni Auditorium of the East-West Center. Posters may be set up any time after 9:00 a.m. and must be removed by 6:00 p.m.
