For Presenters
- Meet your chairperson 10 minutes before the session starts in the presentation room, during the break prior to your session.
- Please note that all presenters are required to use the PC provided at the venue (Windows). Personal PCs will not be allowed for presentations. Since the venue PC is Windows-based, Mac users and other presenters should prepare their files in advance and transfer them to the venue PC before their session.
- Announce the ground rules to the presenters as follows:
- The total time allotted for each speaker, including discussion, is 15 minutes (30 minutes for invited talks).
- Discussion time is 5 minutes, so the actual presentation time is 10 minutes (25 minutes for invited talks).
- A timekeeper will give an early warning 2 minutes before the end of the presentation time (i.e., at 8 minutes for regular talks and 23 minutes for invited talks).
- Presentations must be terminated at 10 minutes (25 minutes for invited talks) when the timekeeper gives the second warning.
- A third warning will be given when the total 15 minutes (30 minutes for invited talks) including discussion time has elapsed.
Timekeeper’s Warnings
- 2 minutes before: “Please finalize your presentation.” (at 8 minutes / 23 minutes)
- 0 minutes: “Presentation time is over.” (at 10 minutes / 25 minutes)
- 15 minutes (30 minutes for invited talks): Total time including discussion has elapsed.
- As the schedule is very tight, please keep strict control of each presentation time.
- To encourage discussion within a limited time, please ask each questioner to state their name and organization before asking a question.
