Presentation Instructions

Papers accepted at KES-WIRN 2007 will be presented using one of two methods: oral presentation or poster presentation. The presentation method applicable to each paper can be found in the conference program contained elsewhere on this web site.

This page contains instructions for presenters. For oral presentation instructions, click here. For poster presentation instructions, click here.

Oral Presentation Instructions

The official language of the conference is English.

Paper presentations will be 15 minutes, plus five minutes for questions.

Each presentation room is equipped with a desktop computer where presentations can be uploaded, projection screen and an LCD projector, with standard VGA connectors. No overhead projector will be provided. There will be a podium and a microphone in each room.

You can choose to use either the above desktop computer or bring your own laptop. If you use Macintosh, please be sure to bring the appropriate adapter. Presenters are expected to have their presentation pre-loaded electronically either on their own laptop computer or on the PC already installed in the conference room. Bring USB, CD and other memory devices as back-ups.

It is absolutely impossible for everyone to set up their computer individually for each presentation. We ask session chairs and presenters to coordinate and use one laptop for each session, and have all presentations uploaded to the same computer before session starts.

Poster Preparation

The poster boards will be located in the Positano conference room at the Lloyd's Baia Hotel. Your assigned poster number will be in the upper left hand corner of the poster board. The boards will be arranged in numerical order in the exhibit hall.

• The poster board surface is suitable for 594 mm. wide and 841 mm. high (A1 format in vertical position).
• Prepare a label indicating the title of your presentation and authors. The lettering should not be less than 2 cm. high.
• A copy of your abstract, typed in large type, should be posted in the upper left-hand corner of the posterboard.
• All illustrations should be made in advance. Bear in mind that your illustrations will be read from a distance of about 2 meters or more.
• Charts, drawings and illustrations might be similar to those you would use in making slides -- simple and bold. Readability is the key.
• Do not mount your illustrations on heavy board because they will be difficult to keep in position on the poster boards.
• Information should be typed in a large typeface.
• Keep illustrative material simple.
