Before the beginning of each
session, each presenter must deliver his CV (Short Biography) which must be
printed out according to the format:

Please note
that individuals using computer projection must bring a CD or USB memory key
containing their presentation. Speakers should arrive in their session room
10 minutes before the start of their session to hand the presenter’s
personal data sheet (biography) to the chairperson.
General
Considerations:
Leave space, at least the
height of a capital letter, between lines of text.
All
fonts, including those on graphs, should be 18 point or larger.
Graphs
and charts should have bold lines and symbols that contrast sharply with
the background.
Your
presentation time is about 15 minutes, leaving about 5 minutes for
questions from the audience.
A
reasonable presentation time for each slide is about 2 minutes, as any
shorter interval will make it difficult for the audience to understand.
Do not
waste visuals where they are not needed. Use them where a picture,
chart, diagram, or cartoon will help. Tables of figures are hard to read
and understand quickly, use pie charts or column graphs instead.
If it
takes longer than 10 seconds to comprehend a visual, then there’s too
much material in it. Do not put anything on the visual if you don't need
it. Tell what each visual is all about, but do not read from it. Keep it
on screen, as long as your talk refers to it.
