Presentation Guidelines
The time allocated for a presentation is 15 minutes, with a further 3 minutes allowed for discussion. You can use slides to support your spoken words. As timing of the conference will be strict (countdown timer for each presentation) please prepare accordingly.
Slides can be prepared e.g. in the following way:
- A title slide – Name, Title, Conference and what the paper is about
- One slide with the hypothesis you want to investigate
- 2 or 3 slides covering your current research plan
- You should not require any more than an absolute maximum of 10 slides – this would mean talking to each slide for only 90 seconds.
- It is generally distracting to the audience to have too many slides in a short presentation
- Do not put too much text on a slide – you want the audience to listen to you and not to be reading your slides!
There will be a presentation computer running LibreOffice Impress, Microsoft Powerpoint, Sumatra PDF. Please preapre your slides in either .odf, .pptx, .pdf and upload them at least 15min before the start of the session in which you present:
We use a gyroscope presenter (Logitech Spotlight) to point to specific parts of the slides. Please activate the highlight tool with patience (1 second) and turn from the center of the page towards the region that you want to spotlight.
