Data Projection/Poster Facilities
Data Projection
We will accept your presentation on DVD, CD or a USB Mass Storage Device. We are using Windows XP PowerPoint 2007. Macintosh users will have access to a Macintosh notebook located at the lectern however we prefer that Macintosh files be transferred to the server and checked for faithful reproduction on the PC. If you have video clips inserted into your presentation please ensure that you supply the video file as well as the PowerPoint file.
Please present to Speaker Preparation the day before your presentation or one full session beforehand if you are presenting on the first day. The times speaker preparation is open will appear at the front of your program hand book. We also suggest that you bring a backup of your presentation.
Presenters choosing to make use of the Macintosh notebook located at each lectern please report to the speaker preparation room so we can account for you in this manner.
If you have any questions in regards to these instructions, please email the ComBio2008 Audio Visuals Manager, Mark Stevens at mark@markitmedia.com.au
Poster Facilities
Freestanding display boards will be available. Posterboards will be numbered. Posters should fit into an area of 1 metre wide x 1 metre high including the heading. Velcro will be provided – pins are not to be used. It is a good idea to bring A4 copies of your poster for distribution to colleagues.
Posters will be on display for one day only. Authors of posters will be asked to be present for one hour for discussion on the day of their poster display. All presenting authors will be contacted individually advising time and day of their required attendance.
