Information for presenters
All meeting rooms will have a data projector, PC (PowerPoint facilities), sound and internet.
Please
- Assemble in your session room at least 5 minutes before the session is due to start.
- Ensure that you sit near the front of the room with easy access to the stage.
- Ensure that you keep to the time allocated to you, as it will cause disruption to sessions if you run over your allotted time. The chairperson will have warning cards when you have 5mins/2mins remaining.
Please plan your presentation in a way to allow some questions within your presentation time. For individual presentations we recommend 15 minute presentation, then 30 minutes for questions after all the presentations.
For sessions with only 2 presenters we recommend 20 minute presentations, then 20 minutes for questions after all the presentations.
We suggest that presenters end their presentations with a couple of questions in order to stimulate discussion after their presentation.
There will be a speaker preview room, which will allow you to run through your presentation with an AV technician. They will be able to check for embedded links, presenting from own laptops and and Macbook queries.
Please note there are no facilities to support any virtual presentations and all presenters must be present in the room.
