PRESENTATION GUIDELINE

ONLINE PRESENTATION GUIDELINES

• The presentation mode will be online through webcam. The presenters are encouraged to use their own devices throughout the conference to ensure good audio and video quality.
• The presenters are responsible to ensure that their device meets the system requirements for running an online live presentation.
• The presenters must ensure that they are online at least 15 MINUTES BEFORE their session starts.
• The presenters will be asked to share their screen and control the flow of the presentation themselves. The presenters are encouraged to use creative ways of presenting. A copy of the slides must be sent to the organizing committee at least one day before the event as a backup copy.
• The presenters are encouraged to keep their visuals clear and simple. Simple graphs, charts, diagrams and infographic are much more meaningful. Minimize use of words for text and title frames.
• Graphics projected on the screen are meant to support the presenter’s spoken words. They should help clarify ideas, emphasize key points, show relationships and provide visual information so that the audience understand the message.
• Transitions between presentations will be coordinated by the conference hosts to keep the session on time. In no case will a presentation go beyond its allotted time. Any presenters going over time limits will have Q&A periods curtailed or even eliminated at the end of the affected presentations. The host, however, be flexible if technical problems occur.
• Please prepare carefully, but also be ready to be flexible during the session in case any technical problems occur.
• If technical assistance is needed during the session, please notify the host and the hosts will assist the participant if they can or will alert technical expertise of the need.
