Presentations

Conference will enforce a “non-commercialism” policy. No presentations containing commercialism will be allowed. Please use your company or university logo and name only on the first slide. You can check during coffee breaks whether your slides are in an acceptable format.

It is highly recommended that you practice your talk prior to the presentation at conference: above all, please make sure that the presentation will be completed within the allowed time.

The session chairs will introduce your talk and ask you to start your presentation. Please start your presentation considering the following:

  1. Start immediately on the topic and avoid another introduction by yourself.
  2. Pace your talk to end at the scheduled ending time.
  3. Obey your chairman's instructions.
  4. When a warning sign indicating that 3 minutes remain, start concluding your presentation.

During the time for discussion, listen carefully to the questions from the audience and answer them briefly. If you cannot answer the questions briefly, ask for a private discussion after the session.
