For guidelines on how to prepare your poster, please see Guidelines for Posters.

Your poster flash talk presentation

  • Presentation length: Your presentation should not exceed 3 minutes.
  • Purpose: The goal is to promote your poster, present a “teaser” of its content and attract attendees to your poster during the designated poster session.
  • Content Focus: Highlight only the main aim of your research and your key findings.

Slides

  • Number of Slides: You may present up to 3 slides (including title and acknowledgments). You may also choose not to use slides; please inform us if this is your preference.
  • Slide Format: Use a 16:9 widescreen format for your slides (not 4:3).
  • File Type: PPT/PPTX format, not PPS.
  • Fonts: Use fonts compatible with Windows.
  • System Compatibility: Conference computers run Windows. Keynote files are not supported: if you use a Mac, export your presentation to PPTX and check fonts and animations on a Windows computer before sending it.

Sending us your slides

  • Send your slides (or a download link) to Isabelle Caugant at caugant@eversoleassociates.com by Sunday 1 November. All flash talk slides will be combined into a single presentation, so changes after this date cannot be guaranteed.
  • Please Note: All slides must be uploaded in advance to the venue’s audiovisual system. You will not be able to upload them in the conference room or use your own computer for the presentation.

On the day of your flash talk 

  • Arrive in the conference room at least 15 minutes before the start of your session (not your flash talk) and introduce yourself to the session chair.
  • Know your order in the flash talk block: check the Conference program.
  • At the beginning of the flash talk block, go up to the stage.
  • If you are not the first speaker, stay on the side of the stage.
  • When it’s your turn, state your name and affiliation and present your poster.
  • A timer will be placed next to the floor monitor, and the session chair will strictly enforce this time limit.
  • Once finished, hand the microphone and the remote to the next presenter.

If you are unable to present, have questions or problems, please contact the conference office.
