Submission of summary abstracts has now closed. Speakers and those exhibiting poster presentations have been notified. All presenters are now requested to compile an extended abstract. Click here for further information. The extended abstracts will be published in a book, and will be provided to each registrant in the conference satchel.Following is helpful information for preparing both oral and poster presentations.
Oral Presentations
AUDIOVISUAL: Microsoft PowerPoint and Adobe Acrobat Reader 6.0 are the only acceptable audiovisual formats for electronic presentations. Presentations cannot use overhead or slide projectors. The venue is equipped with a dedicated projector and PC (and Macintosh) laptop.
PREPARATION: Oral presenters will need to provide their powerpoint files for pre-loading onto the dedicated laptop before 9 am the day of their presentation to the appropriate member of the organising committee. Acceptable media are CDs, DVDs and Flash drives. You will need to ensure that these are compatible with our laptops which will have CD and DVD readers and USB ports.
PRESENTATION LENGTH: Oral presentations will be strictly limited to 15 minutes. A 5 minute period between presentations will accommodate questions, discussion, and introduction of the next speaker. This 5 minute period belongs to the audience and to the chairs of the session, not to the speakers. TIME LIMITS WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED BY SESSION CHAIRS.
CANCELLATION: If circumstances prevent attendance, the author should attempt to find another individual to make the presentation. If cancellation is unavoidable, the author should notify Seedecology2007@bgpa.wa.gov.au as soon as possible.
Poster Presentations
POSTER DIMENSIONS: Poster presentations should be no larger than A0 size (840 mm x 1188 mm).
POSTER DISPLAY BOARDS: Pushpins and/or velcro will be supplied, and are the only method of attaching the poster to the board.
POSTER PRESENTATION: Posters will be displayed for the duration of the conference so that interested delegates can view the poster even when the author is not in attendance. Two poster sessions will be allocated to enable authors to discuss their presentations. Authors are required to be present for this scheduled period.
