Instruction for Oral Presentation

  1. Each oral presentation* is limited to 40 mins, inclusive of the Q & A. Kindly allow for 10 mins for the Q & A. The Chairs of the sessions will be keeping to the time strictly. They will sound the bell once when the 30 mins have passed. You should make a suitable conclusion to your presentation by then.
  2. Presentation should preferably be done using MS Powerpoint 2003 or compatible. A laptop with LCD projector will be made available for all sessions. To minimise technical difficulties, we request all presenters to save their presentation to a USB storage device in a format that can be read by MS Powerpoint 2003 or compatible on a Window-based PC.
  3. Presenters should transfer their files to the laptops as early as possible. Preferable times for presenters to load in their files are during coffee-breaks and lunch. A student assistant will be available to assist the authors.
  4. Presenters are requested to submit a short CV for the Session Chairs at the beginning of the session. A standard form is available at the registration counter.
