Instructions for Speakers

Speaker preparation

The speakers can choose to make their presentation with electronic slides or transparencies.

General recommandations

The duration of each presentation is 20 minutes including questions.

Use large fonts (suggest 16 point minimum) so that people in the back of the room can read your visuals, too.

Present yourself to the chair, 15 minutes before the start of the session.

If you use electronic slides:

Prepare your slides into a format accepted by PowerPoint 2000, StarOffice 5 or Acrobat 4.

Test your presentation on a 800x600 screen.

Put your presentation on a CD-Rom

Print also a version of your slides on transparencies.

Give your electronic presentation (the CD-Rom) to the assistant, 15 minutes before the start of the session.
