INSTRUCTIONS FOR PRESENTATIONS

All presentations of XLIII CILAMCE will be carried orally, including the ones from the Research Beginners Mini-Symposium. XLIII CILAMCE will held no poster presentation.

Each presentation will be assigned a time slot of 15 minutes, which shall be subdivided as follows:

• 12 minutes for the presentation itself (including conclusions);
• 3 minutes for questions and switching (changing presentation file and/or computer, announcement by chair, etc.).

In order to ensure that each speaker has equal time to present his/her paper, the session chairpersons will rigidly enforce the time allocated to the presentations.

All slides must be in English. We also strongly recommend the oral presentation to be carried in English

All session rooms will be equipped with one laptop computer with Microsoft Windows and Adobe Reader, as well as a projector and screen. Authors are strongly encouraged to use the provided computers for their presentations. Authors are asked to copy their presentations to the respective session room´s computer long before the start of the session (ideally, one day in advance, or the coffee break before the session). Please do not leave it for the last minute, as to avoid surprises (occasional problems will impart on the author´s 15 minutes assigned to his/her presentation).

Authors who wish to use his/her own computers are kindly asked to test the connection with the projector and screen in the respective session room long before the start of the session (ideally, one day in advance, or the coffee break before the session). Please do not leave it for the last minute. Also, authors are requested to bring their own cables or adapters if they have special plugs in their computers. The use of authors´ own computers should be avoided whenever possible, in an attempt to minimize delays from one presentation to the next.

Committing to these guidelines is extremely important in order to keep the overall presentation schedule, as well as to avoid technical issues.

No-shows will be treated as an empty presentation slot, i.e., there will be no presentations at the respective time slot (the subsequent presentations will not be shifted up).

ONSITE DIRECTIONS

ONE DAY before your presentation, check in at your session room and upload your presentation at the room´s computer. Please check that everything works fine with your slides.
AT THE DAY OF YOUR PRESENTATION, 10 minutes before the start of your session, meet the session chairs and your fellow presenters in your assigned session room. This will allow you to check the presentation sequence, learn how to operate the audiovisual equipment, and be advised of the plan for time keeping.
