Instruction to Presenters

Oral Presentations

Oral presentations will be given in the main hall and three meeting rooms. Plenary talks related to the scientific sessions of the day are scheduled for the main hall in the morning or afternoon. Immediately following plenary talk, scientific sessions will begin separately in the three meeting rooms. Except for plenary and keynote talks (the latter is dependent on the session), each oral presentation is be 20 minutes long (15 minutes for presentation and 5 for discussion). Only projector and personal computer (Windows/Macintosh) systems prepared by the organizing committee will be available in the main hall and meeting rooms.

Participants are requested to prepare their own presentation in an MS PowerPoint 2003 or older version and bring it on a CD or memory stick to the conference venue. Installation of files into the main computer should be done in the preparation room on the day before the presentation.

Poster Presentations

All posters will be on display in the main hall of Shimabara Fukko Arena for two days in the first or second half of the conference and core times of about 90 minutes (authors' explanations in front of posters) will be scheduled for the days' sessions in the evening (or Friday afternoon). No oral explanations of posters will be scheduled in the meeting rooms. Poster size is restricted to 90 cm wide by 180 cm high. Space will not be available for horizontally oriented posters. Presenters are encouraged to prepare "poster copies" as handouts.
