Speaker Preparations & Posters

SPEAKER PREPARATION
All presentations will be held in the Heritage Ballroom and speakers are required to upload their talk directly with the tech in the room. Please do this on arrival at the conference or a minimum of 2 breaks prior to your session starting, to avoid program delays.

You should bring your talk on a USB, saved in an appropriate format (i.e. PowerPoint 16:9) for display on a PC and projector within the room and clearly labelled with the Time(24hours)_Session_Your Name (eg. 15:30_Symposium 4_Lianna-Danielle Rizk). Please note that Mac computers are NOT compatible with the AV in the room and bringing your presentation on your laptop and not USB will only cause technical issues and delays.

Please arrive to your room at least 15 minutes prior to your session to meet with the chair and other speakers in your session.

LIGHTNING TALKS
Please note that you will have 3 minutes to present your poster. Please strictly keep to your allocated presentation time. You may choose to prepare up to 3 presentation slides instead of speaking directly to the poster as a single presentation slide; however, a physical poster is still required to be displayed in the Convention Centre during your allocated time slot. Posters cannot be moved into the plenary room for your presentation. 

POSTER VIEWINGS & JUDGING
Dedicated poster sessions will be held on Friday 6 and Saturday 7 February in the exhibition area. All posters have been given a poster number which can be found in the conference schedule.

Posters submitted by students are eligible for award prizes. You are required to stand by your poster for the duration of your allocated session to answer questions from the delegates and judges. Depending on your allocated poster session, posters will need to be displayed from Thursday 5^th (from 3pm) and must be taken down at morning tea on Sunday 8 February. Any posters not collected at this time will be disposed of. 
Poster Session 1 (Friday) - to be displayed from 3pm on Thursday 5 February until end of afternoon tea on Friday 6 February. 

Poster Session 2 (Saturday) - to be displayed from Saturday 7 February (before morning tea) until end of conference on Sunday 8 February (after morning tea)

Please check your session and poster number in the program prior.
