Presentation Guidelines
Oral presentations
Each presenter will have 15 minutes to present their work, followed by a 5-minute Q&A session. Please note that the chair will strictly enforce the timing and will stop you when your 15 minutes are up, even if you haven't finished.
When preparing your presentation, please ensure that both oral presentations and slides are in English only. You can use either MS PowerPoint or Adobe PDF for your slide presentation. Projectors will be available for all sessions.
To upload your presentation, bring it on a USB memory stick and upload it to the Session Room computer at least 15 minutes before your session starts.
Poster presentations
Presenters will be provided with mounting boards or walls to display their posters. Depending on the surface, tacks or tape will be provided. Presenters must create and set up their posters before the start of their session. For more details, please email us at rootsrevived@napier.ac.uk
