Ensure that you download the guidelines below before preparing your slides
- The total time allocated for a presentation is 15 minutes. Your talk must be a maximum of 10 minutes in length, which will leave time for audience participation.
- The general rule of thumb, for a presentation where you will be “speaking to the slide” is that you should have no more than 1 slide per minute. Therefore, for a 10 minute presentation, you should have about 10 slides (including the title slide and end slide).
- The Session Chair will introduce you and then start a 10 minute timer. The Session Chair will let you know when there is 1 minute left of your allocated time and then ask you to stop presenting when your time has finished (going overtime may affect your overall score and feedback).
PowerPoint slides do not need to be submitted to the Conference Committee but please ensure you follow the guidelines as the use of unapproved templates will affect your overall score.
