IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS TO PRESENTERS

(1) Every presentation has been allocated the time of 15 minutes during which the presenter(s) will present the paper

to the session audience of about 15-20 participants. Out of that 15 minutes it is expected that the presenter will

take about 10-12 minutes to present the paper and the remaining time to 15 minutes will be utilised for questions

and answers.

(2) Every presentation room will be equipped with a LCD Projector, which could be used by the presenter to show the

visual effects of their PowerPoint presentation slides.

(3) Presenters are thus requested to bring along their PowerPoint presentation slides saved into a USB memory stick.

Please do not save your slides into CD to avoid any unexpected delay to start your presentation. Also please do not

bring OHP slides for presentation as the facility will not be available in the presentation room.

(4) Please keep in mind that if you bring along too many presentation slides to use in your presentation it will be

difficult for us to manage presentation time for others in the same session. Therefore it is suggested that you

please use about 10-15 PowerPoint slides for your 10-12 minute presentation. You will be intervened by the

conference session chair if you are in the state of not keeping up with the allocated time. Just after your

PowerPoint slide presentation the session will then be open to the audience for comments and suggestions.

(5) Before you come to the conference, please do not email us your PowerPoint presentation slides, as we will not

upload your slides onto the desktop of the computer located in the presentation room. You will need to download

your presentation slides directly from your own USB memory stick.

(6) Please be punctual with your presentation time as any delay on your part will affect others in the same

presentation session.
