Oral Presentation Guidelines
(Oral presenters ONLY)
Each author presenting an ORAL paper should submit PowerPoint slides (in MS PowerPoint 2000 or XP) by 15 November 2008 to bseng@batelco.com.bh. Authors are asked to include their unique paper number with their email. The slides will be loaded onto the Lecture Theatre computer prior to the relevant session. This will save you time and aid the smooth running of your talk on the day. Delegates should bring a copy of their slides on a Memory Stick with them to the Conference as a back up.
Visual Aids
For ICIS-2008 we will only permit the use of PowerPoint presentations. If you have any further requirements please contact the IET Bahrain Network at bseng@batelco.com.bh prior to the conference to ensure that there are facilities in place to support your presentation.
Please note that the Laptops within the Lecture Theatres are installed with the following software: Windows 2000/XP and PowerPoint 2000. The IET Bahrain Network cannot be held responsible if authors arrive at the time of presentation with an incompatible presentation. Please contact the Conference Organisers bseng@batelco.com.bh as soon as possible with any queries regarding audio-visual aids.
Useful Presentation Tips
Do not put too much information on visual aids:
- A maximum of six or seven lines including the title (not more than 20 words).
- Avoid abbreviations, mathematics and tables of results (graphs or histograms are much better).
- Lettering should be lowercase, medium or bold and at least “this size” (Arial 22)
- NEVER USE - computer printouts, photocopied pages of books, hand-drawn transparencies
- Keep diagrams as simple as possible
- Company logos, if used, should be of a modest size
Poster Presentation Guidelines
(Poster presenters ONLY)
Your display: you should clearly display the following information on your poster board
- The title of your paper
- The authors’ names and their affiliations
- Your usual contact details (e.g. an email address) to allow delegates to follow up discussion.
In addition to your written paper included in the Conference publication, the poster session is your opportunity to present your work directly to other registrants and to discuss it with them. It is a particularly useful format for small group discussion and debate.
Your display should consist chiefly of keywords, diagrams, photographs, etc. Colour photographs are particularly attractive in a poster display. Diagrams and graphs should have clear captions. All lettering should be easy to read. Handwritten text or diagrams are not recommended. All graphs and diagrams should be drawn with thick lines (preferably 1mm or more in width). Use colour to emphasise important features.
The poster display is important. You are recommended to take as much trouble with it as you did in preparing your written paper.
Display Board
A display board approximately 60cm width and 84cm height will be provided for your poster display. If you are pre-preparing your poster as one large sheet, please ensure that it is in Portrait format. If you require any other equipment please contact the organisers who will do their best to help.
Poster Quad Information
(PowerPoint Quad Template)
At the start of the Poster Session, all poster presenters will be given a 3 minute presentation slot to introduce their poster, this will take the format of a Poster Quad. The poster quad is one PowerPoint slide which is divided into four areas. The aim of the poster quad is to provide a summary of the key aspects of each poster paper.
Information required on each Poster Quad:
- Full title, affiliation, Country
- Objectives
- Approach
- Key Results
The poster presenter will go on stage and talk through the quad for 3 minutes. This will provide delegates with an overview of the paper and if they are interested in the topic, they can find your poster board. We believe that the poster quads are a valuable aspect to the poster papers and benefit both delegates and authors.
Please email your poster quad to IET Bahrain Network at bseng@batelco.com.bh by 15th November 2008. Please ensure you include your Paper number in your email.
