Presentation guidelines
Oral presentations
Speakers are required to transfer their presentation to the conference computer system in the IFSA speaker-ready office, using a USB drive, as early as possible (at least 4 hours before their session).
The preview room – located level+2 (see map here) is open
- from 5pm to 8pm on Sunday 14 September (for all presentations scheduled Monday morning),
- from 8am to 6:30pm on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday,
- from 8am to 1pm on Wednesday,
- from 8am to 11am on Friday.
Presentations in a ‘ppt/pptx’ and 16:9 format are strongly encouraged.
Once transferred and guaranteed virus-free, speakers should preview their presentation to make sure it displays as intended. Speakers will see the presentation mode when on stage (so notes will be displayed).
The time allocations are 40 minutes for the keynote presentations, 30 minutes for the plenary presentations and 20 minutes for the oral presentations. These durations include 5 minutes for questions and answers.
Speakers will not be allowed to use their own computer to give their presentation in order to ensure a smooth transition between talks.
Please note that the session chairs will be instructed that the time lost due to technical difficulties from not following the above-described guidelines will be subtracted from the speaker’s allocated time.
Poster presentations
Poster sessions (3 during the conference week) are an essential component of the IFSA conference.
The poster presenter is expected to remain at the poster site during the entire poster session. Each poster presentation has been assigned a number and must be mounted on the appropriately numbered board. Presenters can check the number by referring to the on-line program. Posters may be mounted anytime prior to the poster session on the assigned day (preferentially during the morning coffee break). Please remove all posters at the end of the day.
Posters must fit within 84 cm x 142 cm (see image below) and will be mounted by double-sided stickers, which will be supplied.
Participants must bring their printed poster with them, as poster printers will not be available at the conference.
