Oral Presentations:

Oral presentations are scheduled in 20 minute time slots, please plan for a maximum 15 minutes presentation, leaving up to 4 minutes for questions and one minute change-over. We will be holding two concurrent sessions throughout the meeting, requiring strict adherence to time limits in order to maintain the synchonised programme.

Lecture rooms will contain one data projector for PowerPoint presentations only. If you requested an overhead projector it will be available in the room at the time of your presentation. Two projection screens are available in each lecture room. Speakers are asked to ensure that their presentations are compatible with a PC platform, those using Mac computers will need to ensure their presentations will run on a PC.

• All speakers are asked to submit their talks on a CD-ROM or a USB flash-drive (PC readable) in the AV Prep Room (AH.5) at the time of first arrival at the conference.

• Please carefully label the media with the presenter name, initials, title of presentation, and also the day, session, and time of presentation. The digital file (ppt) should also contain author, day and time slot.

• Personal laptops can not be used for presentations (except when previous arrangements have been made with the convenor). Mac users please note!

Speakers will be able to review their presentations in the AV prep room (AH.5) where one laptop will be available for rehearsal.

Plenary/keynote speakers have been allocated additional time for presentations (30 min in total, including questions/discussion), further details are included in the conference programme.

A full listing of poster presenters is included with the accompanying conference programme. Posters will be available for viewing in the AgHort Foyer throughout the conference, which is also the venue each day for lunch and tea breaks, in order to facilitate viewing. Some provision has been made in the programme for an extended viewing time on Tuesday (9:05-9:50am), prior to morning tea, when poster presenters will be asked to be available at their poster to answer questions and for discussion. We also recommend that presenters indicate additional times during the remaining breaks when they will be available at their poster for discussion.
