Oral Presentations

Each oral presentation is allocated with a total of 20 minute slot (15 minutes for the presentation, plus 5 minutes of discussion/Q&A). Presenters are kindly requested to prepare their presentation accordingly and to observe the time allotted, to ensure the smooth running of the conference programme.

On the day of the oral presentation there will be a Speaker’s Introduction Session from 8.00-8.30. This will take place in the Speaker’s Room. At the Introduction Session the speakers will meet the session chair(s) of their technical session, the other speakers and they will be given the final practical details regarding their presentation. Note that following the ITA guidelines over-running presentations will be cut off.

Presentation files, in MS Powerpoint format, should be delivered to the Speaker Ready Room in the day before the session, to ensure there is sufficient time to check and make any adjustments to the files. Speakers are also requested to prepare a brief bio note (MS Word format) for their introduction.

Below are some useful tips you may want to pay attention to when presenting in front of a camera:

Use a soft light source from the front. Cameras capture better-looking video when there is a good light source. Try to avoid locations with low light or too much backlighting.
Mind your webcam placement. Some camera angles can exaggerate your facial features and distort your appearance. Make sure that the camera lens sits at or above eye level, no higher than your hairline.
Prefer a laptop computer, if possible, otherwise the fan noise may distort your audio.
Use a USB microphone. Even a low-cost microphone offers better audio quality than a laptop’s built-in mic.
Mind your surroundings and inform people not to enter the recording room.
