GUIDELINES FOR CONFERENCE SPEAKERS
AND WORKSHOP PRESENTERS
Speakers should seek out their
session chairperson in good time and make themselves known. They
may need to get some further background information about you.
Open discussion and the opportunity
for others to share their own experiences are an important elements
of IUISC, and so you are asked to keep within your allotted times
Please inform Nicola Meenan, the
Conference organiser Nmeenan@conferencepartners.ie
as soon as possible of your AV requirements. There is a microphone
in the main auditorium for large audiences. Workshop sessions
are held in smaller rooms which have no microphones. Laptops and
projectors are available in all lecture rooms, as are flip charts
and transparency OHPs.
There are no live video or data
communications links within the conference area, nor 35mm slide
projectors.
Technical support will be available
If your presentation uses PowerPoint
slides, you may optionally email slides to Nicola Meenan about
a week before the conference. If you are bringing your own laptop,
make sure you have an extra copy of the slides on floppy disk
in case of incompatibility of equipment at the conference venue.
· Remember to make the
fonts as big as possible on the slides and try not to put more
than about 8 lines of text per slide.
· Try out your presentation
beforehand in the room that you have been assigned, and walk round
the room to see how it looks from different angles. All presentations
should be installed on the relevant PC well in advance of the
session involved and should be verified by quickly running through
the presentation
· Do not have too many
slides, a rough guide would be one slide per minute at the most.
It is generally expected that the
majority of speakers and workshop presenters will be drawn from
delegates who are attending the whole of the conference. Workshop presenters may wish to
retain flip-chart notes taken down during discussion in order
to provide the organising committee with a short summary and conclusion
to be put on the conference website after the close of the conference.
