Duration of Session
The length of
sessions is to be determined by the Organizing
Committee on the basis of the total number of papers
accepted and the number of sessions required in a 90
minutes or 120 minutes session format.
|
|
Time for Presentation
The session
would be chaired by someone appointed by the Organising Committee,
preferably with some expertise in the subject area. Each
participant would be allocated a minimum of 25 minutes
for their presentation and five minutes for discussion.
If a presenter exceeds their time in their presentation
it means that they forfeit their discussion period. A
large number of delegates are now making PowerPoint
presentations; this is causing considerable delays in
session programmes as each delegate connects up their
laptop to the data projector. This can take 3 or 4
minutes and therefore reduces the time available for the
paper and discussion. Delegates are advised to bring
their presentation on either a disk or a CD ROM.
