PRESENTER INSTRUCTIONS

 

Presentations are 25 minutes including Q&A.

 

Equipment

 

Each session room will be equipped with a lectern, data projector (for use with a laptop computer eg PowerPoint or PDF presentation) and an IBM compatible laptop. We will supply the computer pre-loaded with MS Office and Acrobat.  Please advise the Conference Secretariat before Monday 27 October 2008 if you require any additional audiovisual aides and equipment eg MAC, video, DVD (the provision of additional equipment is at the discretion of the Organising Committee).

 

Room Set up 

 

Each session room will be set up theatre style with a head table where appropriate. 

 

Bringing Your Presentation To The Venue

 

When you arrive at Adelaide Convention Centre, check in at the Registration Desk. Staff will direct you to the Speakers Support Centre. 

 

If you are using PowerPoint, laptops will be provided by the organisers in each session room. There will be no provision for presenters to connect their own laptop. This will ensure the optimum presentation environment. 

 

Your presentation must be given to the Speakers Support Centre Technician on a CD or USB storage device. Alternatively, you can bring your own laptop from which your presentation can be extracted and directly transferred to the network server.  Supported file format is Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 or below, for IBM/PC compatible machines. Special arrangements need to be made for Apple Mac or other specialist software support.  You will be asked to verify your presentation on a local computer. The presentation will be then transferred. The transfer might take a little while - please allow this time, plus a few more minutes to verify your presentation.

 

Also, when saving your presentation ready for this conference, please save any non true-type fonts into the presentation. For all true-type fonts, this process is not required. Note PowerPoint will not support all types of true type fonts. If you are using an uncommon font type it is recommended you save the font style separately with the presentation and bring it to the Speakers Support Centre. 

 

How do we get the presentation on-screen with you in control? 

 

The computer in the room in which you are presenting will access the presentation. In the larger session rooms, this computer will be under the control of a Technical Operator who will assist you. The lectern will be equipped with a simple remote with forward and reverse buttons, which will have the same effect as the up and down arrow keys on your keyboard.  In smaller rooms where no operator will be present, the laptop will be located next to the lectern for presenters to operate themselves. The presentation will be located on the desktop. Please DO NOT take your presentation disk directly to the venue room as this can severely disrupt the running of the conference.
