Guidelines for Oral presentations

Timing

Oral presentations are allocated 15 minutes for the talk and an additional 5 minutes for questions and discussion. Session timings are listed in the technical program booklet. Session chairs will strictly enforce these time limits. A useful estimate is to allot approximately one minute for each transparency or slide prepared for the talk.

Format

All oral presentations should be prepared in Microsoft Powerpoint format. There will be a number of computers available at the Conference Computer Room with the same version of Powerpoint installed as in the plenary room, in order to allow all speakers checking their presentation in advance (fonts, resolution, etc.).

After this check, the presentation can be uploaded into the Conference media system. You are asked to hand in the file of your presentation, on a CD-rom or a USB Memory stick, the day before the session where it will be presented. An assistant will be present in the Eurogress Media Center, every day between 10:30-11:00 and 16:00-16:30, to receive your file and upload it on the system.

Presentation

The day of their oral presentation, all speakers should "check in" with the session chairman at least 10 minutes before the scheduled start of the session in order to inform him/her of the name of the author (or co-author) who will present the talk. Talks will be called at the time scheduled in the technical program booklet. Session chairs have the responsibility of reporting "no-shows" to the Editorial Committee. No-show papers will not be considered for publication in the IEEE Transactions on Magnetics journal.

All speakers are urged to prepare visuals in advance of the conference and to practice their talk. The success of the conference rests, after all, on the quality of the technical presentations.
