Roundtable Presentations

Total Session time: 90 minutes.

Each presenter will have 5 minutes to present their paper, with the remainder of the time devoted to general discussion of all the presentations, making connections between the different presentations and the themes of the conference.

Round Tables are normally made up of four to six presenters. Each Round Table will have a Chair who introduces the presenters and keeps time, and a Rapporteur who will document the key points of the discussion. There will be room at the session for others interested in participating in the session and joining in the discussion.

We have used the abstracts to group papers with similar and overlapping interests. In most cases this was straightforward, but occasionally we needed to search for connections between papers in order to group them. The Chair of each session will have the task of helping to make connections for both the presenters and the audience, so that you will find the Round Table Discussion has a feeling of cohesion.

You should meet your co-presenters and the chair of your Round Table earlier in the conference if at all possible. You may also wish to contact each other by e-mail to discuss your papers, timing and the running order. There will be a message board in a central location within the venue for the duration of the conference and you might find it helpful to leave a memo here if you have been unable to make contact before arrival.

Each Round Table Discussion will be provided with a flipchart. It will not be possible to use PowerPoint in your presentation.

Posters

Posters should be presented in A1 size, portrait or landscape, i.e. 841 x 1189 mm (33 X 47 inches).
Posters should be laminated.
Each poster will be allocated a self-standing display board. There is no additional room for extra displays or equipment.
The background colour of the display board will be blue or black. The display board will be covered in felt and Velcro stickers will be provided for attaching posters. Please do not use any other kind of adhesive.
Displaying and removing posters is the responsibility of the presenter(s) i.e. at the beginning and end of the conference.
As part of the Poster Presentation you will need to be available during break times to share information and answer queries. To find the time of break times please log in to our website to see the conference schedule.
Registration for the conference is a requirement for all presenters and a pre-requisite for displaying your poster and inclusion of your abstract in the conference programme. Failure to register will result in your abstract being removed from the final conference proceedings.

Tips for Presenting your Poster!!

These tips are to help you in creating your poster.

Your poster should be legible from 4 - 5 feet.

A mixture of upper and lower case text makes it easier to read.

Double spacing text also makes it easier to read.

A useful rule-of-thumb is to have 20% text, 40% graphics and 40% empty space. Another guideline is to use no more than three contrasting colours but judge for yourself!
