Presenter Instructions
Oral Presentation
Oral presentation consists of 20 minutes for presentation of the problem, the background, the innovative approach, the new results, the comparative evaluation and questions from attendees. A question and answer period of approximately 5 minutes are included in the 20 minutes allotted for the presentation. Acceptable format for presentations is MS PowerPoint 2003.
To perform the presentation, laptop computer (with MS Windows XP operating system and PowerPoint 2007) and LCD projector will be available in the conference room. Please bring your presentation on a memory stick to upload on the laptop provided prior to your session.
The presenter should prepare a reasonable number of electronic slides, so as not to exceed the 20 minute time. Typically, 1 slide is presented in 1 minute. Additional slides could be prepared to support possible answers to attendees' questions.
Each slide should not be overcrowded by text and graphics. Too much text should be avoided: slides should support the presentation, they should not be simply read by the presenter.
Graphics should be designed to help in the overall communications, to illustrate key points and elucidate the basic ideas. Avoid excess graphics as this makes the overall file size large and can delay slide loading.
Use large fonts so as they are readable without efforts: typically 20 point font is the smallest that should be used. Headers within the body are typically 24-pt and slide headers are typically 28 or 32-pt font. Use Arial, Verdana or other san-serif font for readability.
Poster Presentation
The maximum poster size is given by 75 cm in width and 95 cm in height. In the upper left corner the poster identification (Section Number) should be placed. The following type sizes are recommended:
- Identification: 100 points;
- Title: 72 points;
- Author(s): 54 points;
- Affiliation, E-mail: 40 points;
- Abstract: 28 points;
- The body text: 24 points.
You may download a poster example here (Poster_example.pdf).
Supplies needed for attaching the posters to the poster boards will be provided. There will be session chairs to direct those who have poster presentations to the appropriate location.
If somebody has a problem to print her/his poster in required quality, the Conference organiser can ensure a printing of poster if the pdf file is sent till August 31 by E-mail to haasz@fel.cvut.cz, copy orgcom@idaacs.net.
