INSTRUCTIONS
FOR THE PLATFORM PRESENTATIONS
- All platform presentations MUST be in digital format;
PowerPoint preferred. If you propose to use any other
format it is your responsibility to check that the necessary
software is available.
- WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you bring your presentation
to the AV personnel on memory stick or CD, so that the
presentation can be loaded onto the main computer.
Why? It saves time! Each speaker is allocated 10 minutes,
including questions. Setting up your laptop can take
2-3 minutes; if everyone in a session used laptops, it
could run 15 minutes over time on this basis alone. Please
keep to the time allocated.
- Please make contact with the AV personnel before commencement
of the morning or afternoon sessions on the day of your
presentation.
- Please identify yourself to the Chairperson prior
to commencement of your session.
- Mac Users. Your file will be compatible with the Facility
PC, (a) as long as the file has an identifier at the
end (eg ‘.ppt’); (b) if you use ‘tiff’ files
for images (NOT jpg or pct). We recommend testing your
presentation on a PC before you finalize it.
- Video files preferably should be in MP3 format.
