Presentation Format

Paper Presentation (20-25 minutes)
This is the standard presentation format. In an oral paper presentation, the presenter delivers their research to their audience verbally, accompanied by a PowerPoint slideshow. Paper presentations are organised by stream into parallel sessions comprising three or four presentations.

A poster presentation
A presenter is to use a printed poster pinned to a poster board (B1 format, 900 high, 700 wide) to illustrate key aspects of their research. The presenter engages with interested participants on a one-to-one basis and discusses their research. Presenters are expected to bring the printed posters with them and provide the conference organisers with their posters at the Registration.

Symposium presentations (90 minutes)
Symposium presentations are conceived and organised by individuals who recruit speakers to present papers or participate in panel discussions on a specific topic. Symposium presentations are directed by a chair, involving either three or four presenters and one discussant. The role of the discussant will be to facilitate participation and discussion. Symposium presentations last for 90 minutes and are typically organised as follows:

• Introduction
• 3 or 4 paper presentations based on submitted abstracts
• Discussion
