Paper & Poster GuidelinesOral PresentationOral presentations are scheduled as 15 minute presentations with 13 minutes for the presentation and 2 minutes for questions. Please make certain your presentation fits into its 15 minute time slot, including 2 minutes for questions. We intend to adhere closely to the schedule even though all talks will be given in a single room (no concurrent sessions). We do not plan to have a preview room. All presentations have to be prepared for display with PowerPoint from Office 2003 (PC Version only). The single lecture room will be set up with a PC running Windows XP and Microsoft Office 2003 (or later) for providing PowerPoint presentations. You will not be allowed to use your own laptop for your presentation. Prepare your slideshow with a monitor/screen resolution of 1024 x 768. If you are including sound or video files in your presentation, please test these adequately before you travel to Québec City (ideally on various PCs). Use the surname of the first author to identify your Power Point file. If you are the lead author of multiple presentations, please distinguish between files by numerical increments following surname (e.g. SavardJPL1.ppt, SavardJPL2.ppt). Please bring a copy of your presentation file on a USB memory stick (preferred) or CD-ROM. Additional instructions will be sent to you upon acceptance of your presentation. Poster PresentationPosters will be displayed for the duration of the conference, although there will be a formal poster session on Tuesday night (Nov. 11), during which authors should be available for answering questions. Posters will be mounted on boards, and should measure no more than 92 cm (36 in.) tall by 122 cm (48 in.) wide. In our experience, the biggest ongoing problem with posters is that there is simply too much text and the typeface is too small. So use a large font size (e.g. ≥ 36 pt) and keep the text to a minimum. We encourage that you have a small picture of the authors on the poster. This will help people to recognise you during the meeting and to give them a chance to ask you questions if they were not able to do so at the poster session. We also encourage that you have small, but readable printed copies of your poster available for hand out. Presentation TipsGuidelines for preparing oral presentations and posters are available in many places. For ideas, see: http://www.aspb.org/education/poster.cfm
