Guidelines for Oral Presentations of ICPR WORKSHOP-2024

Guidelines for Oral Presentations Oral presentations at ICPR-ABCWML-2024 are scheduled for 10 minutes, followed by an additional 5 minutes for questions and discussion. So, the total time per paper is 15 minutes.

Presenters are required to use the equipment available in the session hall, which may include a desktop or laptop provided on the day of the event. The available device will operate on Windows OS with Microsoft PowerPoint pre-installed.

To ensure a smooth transition between speakers, presenters should bring a copy of their presentation on a USB drive. Assistance from an ICPR-2024 volunteer will be available in the session hall to help with uploading, setting up, and projecting the presentation.

Guidelines for Presentation Content

Much has been written about how to make an effective presentation in the following link. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365-life-hacks/presentations/how-many-slidesdoes-your-presentation-need. Some of them are as follows.

• Avoid overload: Ensure that each slide communicates a single idea clearly, avoiding cluttered layouts or excessive text.

• Add visual appeal: Incorporate images, charts, and graphics to convey information without using too many words and equations for your audience to read.

• Put in the practice: Familiarize yourself with your slides and practice your delivery to refine your timing and confidence.

• Concise and focused content: For a 10-minute presentation, aim for around 10 to 15 slides to maintain a good pace, which will fit with the 1-2 minute per slide rule.
