Presenter Time Codes

Time codes of presenters can be obtained HERE.

Presenter Information

Including introduction and question-and-answer period, lecture presentations are allotted 18 minutes, keynote lectures are allotted 30 minutes, and plenary lectures are allotted 45 minutes. To ensure a perfect synchronization between the 13 parallel session, Chairs are to strictly enforce that each presentation starts and finishes promptly at the time given in the schedule. All speakers are requested to contact their session chair at least 30 minutes prior to the start of the session. For speakers wishing to practice their presentations, room 254 on the second floor of the Holiday Inn Select has been reserved. A sign-up sheet will be posted on the door. In consideration of others, please limit practice to 20-minute increments.

Audio-Visual Information

Each of the session rooms will have one computer projector (LCD), one screen, and one PC laptop with a Windows XP operating system and basic PowerPoint capability. A handful of overhead projectors will also be available by request only. Though laptops are provided for the attendees usage, it is the presenters responsibility to ensure that their presentations can be displayed properly before their scheduled time slot. As a backup, presenters planning to use the computer projectors should also come prepared to give their presentation by some other means, e.g., overhead projector, in case of any technical difficulties. Special requirement requests regarding audio-visual are to be directed to the conference registration desk the day prior to the presentation. Equipment technicians are attending the conference and will be able to assist with any technical difficulties that may arise.
