Format(Download PPT Template)
a) Presentations should be delivered entirely in English, and all PowerPoint slides should be in English.
b) After each presentation, a brief 1-2 minute Q&A session will be held, during which the presenting scholars may ask questions. If there are no questions, the next presentation will begin immediately.
c) Please bring your PowerPoint presentation on a USB drive. Your presentation should be in the standard office format (MS Office). You have the option to use your own laptop, but it should be tested in advance of the workshop.
d) If your presentation includes an embedded video, please bring the video as a separate MP4 file to facilitate onsite testing and troubleshooting.
Audio Visual Equipment
a) Each room will be equipped with a laptop, projector, screen, microphone, laser pointer, and a USB drive.
b) Presenters are encouraged to bring their presentations on a USB drive and email a backup copy to themselves.
c) Please ensure that your presentation is compatible with the provided equipment.
Time Keeping
a) Session chairs will be responsible for keeping track of time.
b) Presenters will receive a 2-minute alert before the end of their allotted presentation time.
c) It is essential to adhere to the allotted time to ensure the schedule runs smoothly.
No Show
If a presenter does not show up, the next presentation may start ahead of schedule, and the session chair may adjust the schedule as needed; if presentations are moved up, the session may end earlier than planned.
Hardware
Windows-based notebook is preferred in the conference room that you can use to upload your presentation. Your presentations (Microsoft Powerpoint or Adobe PDF) will be accepted in USB Flash Drive form. If absolutely needed, speakers may also bring their own notebook or other media device, but they have to test if the connection with the projector works correctly well before the session begins. If you plan to present a video or show any demos, it may be advisable to bring your own notebook. Audio playback will be possible via audio jack.
Bring a Backup
If you want to use your own notebook, be sure to bring a backup copy of your presentation with you to the conference. USB/Flash drives are preferred.
