Instructions for paper presenters

• Papers are organised into time slots (Session A – Session I) of either 1 or 1.5 hours, with 3 parallel sessions happening concurrently within each time slot. Please see the programme and the Session overview for details of slots and timings.
• Each parallel session will have a Chair who will introduce you, field questions and keep your session to time. You should have received the name of your session chair via email. Please make sure that you are in the room of your session approximately 10 minutes before your presentation to introduce yourself to your Chair.
• You will have a total of 30 minutes for your presentation, including questions. We suggest you plan to speak for 20 minutes and allow 5 minutes for questions - this will provide us with sufficient time to keep everything on schedule. The Chair will have cards to let you know when you have a few minutes left.
• Presentations taking place in room GH514 will also be part of the virtual conference programme.  Presentations in rooms GH512 and GH513 will only be available to those attending the conference in person.  The virtual conference should not affect your presentation, as technicians will be available to deal with this aspect.  There may be questions from a remote audience as well as those in the room.
• Technicians will be available in the room of your presentation during registration and break times.  Please ensure that you seek out the technician at the latest in the break prior to your session to upload your presentation.  Please also bring your presentation on a memory stick with you to your session.  Please make sure your presentation is available in PowerPoint (.ppt or .pptx) format.

• There will be one time slot during the conference dedicated to the posters - Tuesday 18th from 3:30-4:30pm. During this time at least one author should be standing beside your poster and engage with conference delegates who have questions about your work. 
• There will be a Poster Madness session on the second morning of the conference (Tuesday 18th), at 10.00 immediately following the keynote session. Poster presenters will have one minute (timed with a buzzer to let you know when time is up!) to talk about the contents of their poster to all conference delegates. Poster madness participants are indicated on the list with a *.  This will form the running order for the session. At the end of the Tuesday keynote session, please make your way to the front row where there will be reserved seats for Madness presenters. When you are performing your minute of madness a powerpoint slide (which Alison Brettle will create) will be behind you with your name and presentation title on it.
