Instructions for presenters

Talk instructions:

-- Talk duration: 15 min including questions (12+3 min)

-- You will not be able to use your own laptop for presentations.

-- We will have two laptops available for oral presentations: one Windows and one MacOSX. We will be able to handle the following formats: Power Point (Windows or Mac), PDF (Windows or Mac), and Keynote (Mac).

-- We request the speakers to ftp their talks to us ahead of time. (This is especially important if you have movies or other complications that might not work on a foreign machine, or if your talk is in the first session)

-- Please upload your talk by 2pm, Thursday, 20th February if you want us to test it. After you have uploaded the talk please send Anna Kapinska an e-mail. This will give us time to get back to you if there are any problems. Ftp instructions will be provided by email.

-- To ensure a welcoming environment during the Symposium, we ask all presenters to abide by the NRAO Code of Conduct.



Poster instructions:

-- Poster boards will have dimensions of 5 ft by 4 ft, assembled vertically (portrait orientation)

-- Please put up your poster as soon as you arrive at the symposium. We will have two long coffee breaks (40 min each) to ensure participants have time to check out all the posters. The posters will need to be taken down by 17:30 on the day.
