Authors will be informed of their acceptance and method of presentation in writing. The programme committee will try to accommodate your preferred method of presentation; however, as each format will form an integral part of the conference, the organising committee reserves the right to assign papers to either oral or poster presentation as necessary.

Oral presentations will be limited to 15 minutes per presentation. We strongly encourage presenters to use electronic methods of presentation such as PowerPoint or Adobe Acrobat. The display will be optimised for widescreen (16:9) format.

There will be dedicated poster session(s) during the meeting – you are required to bring a physical poster with you. Posters should be A0 portrait size (841mm wide x 1189mm high).

Each person with a poster will be asked to very briefly (1 min) summarise their poster, supported by a maximum of 1 slide. These sessions will take place prior to poster session(s).
