Oral Presentation Information

Equipment:

  • Each oral session room will be equipped with a Windows PC.
  • The operating system will be Windows XP and Vista, and Microsoft PowerPoint 2002/2003/2007 versions are installed.

PowerPoint Presenters:

  • Bring your presentation on a Windows readable USB flash Drive or CD-ROM (CD-RW is not acceptable).
  • When you create a CD, make sure that you close or “finalize” your session. If you omit this step, you cannot access the CD from any other computer.
  • Use standard fonts (e.g., Times Roman, Helvetica, Arial, Times New Roman) to avoid conversion errors.
  • Include any external files utilized, e.g. movie files in the same folder as your presentation data. Copy and save the entire folder to a USB flash Drive or a CD-ROM.
  • Video clips (other than certain animated gif files) are not embedded in PowerPoint presentations; you will need to bring the separate video files with you and submit them along with your presentation.
  • The computers in the session room and PC preview room will support Windows PC only. (No Macintosh Computers)

Users of Macintosh Computers:

  • Please bring your own Macintosh computer because there are many issues that can arise when PowerPoint files created on a Mac are run on a Windows PC.

Laptops:

  • Speakers using their own laptops MUST HAVE a VGA D-sub15pin female output. Some laptops have special video output cables to get to the D-sub15pin required for connecting to external monitors and data projectors. If this cable is not with the laptop being used there is no way to connect to a Data Projector. The laptop output resolution should be no more then XGA (1024x768). The native resolution on the data projectors is 1024x768 so higher resolutions will force the data projector into a compression mode possibly losing some information or not projecting.
  • The secretariat is not responsible for any projection troubles caused by computer technical difficulties. We recommend that all presenters bring back-up data in a CD-R or USB memory stick.
  • All energy-conserving functions such as screen-savers, sleep/power-saving modes and virus check function should be disabled on PCs to be used in the presentation.

Video Presentation Information

  1. For those who are bringing in a USB memory stick or a CD-R, be sure that the data can be readable on Windows Media Player, Real One Player, Quick Time Player.

It is also recommended for Windows users to bring your own computer as a back-up.
  2. DVD-Rs with DVD-Video format (Region code 2) are also acceptable. Be sure that the video is capable of being played with a DVD player.
  3. When you check in your video at the PC preview room, please inform the staff of the presence of any sounds and the appropriate mode.
  4. The presentation time for each presenter is 15 minutes in total. (10 minutes presentation + 5 minutes Q & A). We request your cooperation to keep to the allotted time spans.
  5. No supplementary slides are acceptable for the video sessions.
  6. VHS and S-VHS players will NOT be equipped in the presentation rooms.
