Instructions for Oral Presentations

Each oral session will run for 15 minutes in total. The presentation will be 11-12 minutes followed by 3 minutes of Q&A from the audience. 

Presenters need to upload their presentation through the Exordo website so that we can streamline the presentations. You will not be permitted to use your own laptop or a USB.

Instructions for Poster Presentations

Poster presentations are an opportunity to present your research to conference participants in an interactive and intimate setting. Posters should be graphically rich, have only the minimum necessary elements, and should not be an enlarged version of your paper.

Your poster should include:

• The paper title, the author names, and the affiliations at the top of the poster
• An introduction, theoretical/simulation/experimental details, conclusions, and references
• Explanations for each graph, picture, and table

Size and fonts:

• The maximum poster size is 42 inches square (1067 x 1067 mm). If your printer has size restrictions, posters can be smaller but anything larger than 42” x 42” will not fit onto the poster boards.
• Use an easy-to-read type
• Suggested minimum font sizes: 36 point type for the title, 25 point type for the list of authors, and 15 point type for the body

Print a high-resolution copy of your poster on a single sheet to present onsite. A tack board and materials to mount the poster will be provided.
