GUIDELINES FOR PRESENTATIONS AT IGALA 7 |
|
POSTER 1. Format: (a) Maximum poster size is: 0,90 meters high and 0,60 meters wide. (b) Besides the contents of the research study, the poster should contain at a very visible position: the title of the paper, the authors' names, their institutional affiliations and email addresses. (c) We recommend the use of font size 24 (minimum) for the text. (d) We suggest that the results be presented with summaries, schemes, graphs, tables or in any other format that is suitable for reading in the format of a poster. (e) All posters must be professionally printed rather than constructed with scissors and glue. For environmental reasons, we encourage paper printing. However, since many of the participants are travelling long distance with their posters, they might choose to have them laminated so as to avoid tearing. 2. We recommend that you also bring a document wallet in which to place your handouts. The wallet can stand below your poster and your handouts can be taken by interested parties throughout the conference. Abundant feedback and personal contacts are strengths of the poster format, so you should provide an e-mail address in the handout for those who want to contact you later. 3. Posters for IGALA 7 will be mounted with material supplied at the conference front desk. If you intend want to use your poster again, we recommend fitting your poster with metal rings to facilitate hanging. 4. Posters will be exhibited throughout the conference (from June 20 to June 22) and a dedicated Poster Session will be in the program during which you should be available to answer questions. We request that you check the Final Program to find out the specific time when you should be standing by the poster and available for questions. Program available at: http://www.unisinos.br/eventos/igala/index.php/igala/IGALA7/schedConf/schedule 5. Judges from among the Plenary Speakers and the Special Forum Speakers will select the best poster for a prize, so attention to the poster specifications is essential.
ORAL PRESENTATIONS (PAPER PRESENTATIONS) Each presenter is requested to be in the presentation room at least 15 minutes *prior to the beginning of the 90-min session*. Oral Presentations will be 20 minutes each, with an 8-minute question-and-answer period. Such time distribution should allow for two minutes for the change in presenters. Please, strictly limit the time of your presentation to 20 minutes! There will be a session assistant in each room so as to manage the time and to provide presenters with some basic assistance with the equipment. Rooms assigned for the Paper Presentations are equipped with: a computer (a PC with USB slots and a CD drive) and a projector. (Even though speakers are available, they are not very potent). We encourage presenters to save and bring their presentations in different types of media (including print outs), just in case one of them lends itself incompatible with the local equipment. Use of personal laptops for presentations is also a suitable option. Make sure to bring along a universal plug adapter for the power cable.
ROUND TABLES (or PANELS) Round Tables (also known as Panels) are composed of no more than three speakers in one 90 minute slot. Each presenter is requested to be in the presentation room at least 15 minutes *prior to the beginning of the session*. Of the 90 minutes, at least 15 should be allowed for questions and general discussion. The coordinator of the Round Table is responsible for moderating the session and managing the time, which should be strictly limited to 90 minutes overall. Rooms assigned for Round Tables are equipped with: a computer (a PC with USB slots and a CD drive) and an LCD projector. (Even though speakers are available, they are not very potent). We encourage presenters to save and bring their presentations in different types of media (including print outs), just in case one of them lends itself incompatible with the local equipment. Use of personal laptops for presentations is also a suitable option. Make sure to bring along a universal plug adapter for the power cable.
WORKSHOPS Workshops should strictly happen within 90 minutes, and will be simultaneous to the Special Forums. Workshop presenters are requested to be in the presentation room at least 15 minutes *prior to the beginning of the session*. Rooms assigned for Workshops are equipped with: a computer (a PC with USB slots and a CD drive) and an LCD projector. (Even though speakers are available, they are not very potent). We encourage presenters to save and bring their presentations in different types of media (including print outs), just in case one of them lends itself incompatible with the local equipment. Use of personal laptops for presentations is also a suitable option. Make sure to bring along a universal plug adapter for the power cable. |
