Presentations should comply with the following general requirements:

• not sales-oriented*
• reflect new information or new developments
• cannot be too general; a specific viewpoint is preferred
• presentation should not have been presented at any other event, unless they contain new information and have been adapted for the audience

* Commercial presentations will not be accepted; the conference management reserves the right to refuse presentations with any commercial references.

Audiovisual equipment
The conference room has been equipped with:

• Conference laptop
• Data projector
• Screen
• Lapel microphone for speaker/moderator
• Stage with lectern and microphone for speaker
• Laserpointer
• Handheld microphones

If you need any additional audiovisual equipment please contact the conference management. AV technicians will be available each day to upload presentations on the conference laptop and assist speakers with technical issues.

Timekeeping
Please review the attached draft programme regarding the length of your presentation. Please cater for 5 minutes to take questions from the audience. If you are participating in a panel discussion following your presentation, there will be no question time following your presentation

No sales pitches
Conferences are for education, not sales pitches. The biggest complaint we get is that a speaker spent the session talking about commercial products instead of educating the audience.
