| GUIDELINES FOR PRESENTERS IN ORAL SESSIONS |
|
Planning Your Presentation: Twelve (12) minutes are allotted for your oral presentation, to include a nine-minute talk plus three minutes for discussion afterwards. The time limit will be strictly enforced, so plan accordingly. To present your paper effectively in this limited time, do not attempt to cover too much material. Discuss only the major points of your work, especially the conclusions drawn from your data. Do not include commonly known background information. The declaration of financial interests or relationships should be your first or second slide, and it should show the same “declaration” information you provided when you submitted the abstract. Please see www.ismrm.org/11/Declaration/ to download the template slides. The next slide should give the presentation title and authors. Spend one minute maximum on background and motivation, two to three slides on methods, with most on results, discussion and conclusions. If there is to be an acknowledgement, it should be on one slide at the end and not a part of the formal oral presentation. (Do not spend excessive time on title, co-authors, historical work, motivation, and too little on methods, results and discussion.) Practice your presentation until you can present it clearly in nine minutes. If you use more than your allotted time, the Chair of the session will terminate the presentation. A useful rule for slides is to use no more than one (1) for each minute of your presentation. For suggestions on preparing slide presentations and technical requirements, please click here. Before the Session: Speaker Ready Room: The Speaker Ready Room is Room 524 of the Palais des congrès de Montréal. It will be open from 14:00 to 18:00 Friday, 6 May, 07.00 to 18.00 from Saturday, 7 May, through Thursday, 12 May, and from 07.00 to 13.00 on Friday, 13 May. All speakers are required to check in at the Speaker Ready Room no later than the day before their presentation.To Upload in Advance: For your convenience, a site will be open for uploading of your presentation on or about 31 March, and we will soon send you complete instructions on this. Advance uploading is preferred, although you may still upload your presentation at the meeting, if you wish. If you upload on line, it is required that you still come to the Speaker Ready Room (Room 524) the day before the presentation, to confirm that it runs properly. To Upload Onsite: If you upload at the meeting you must bring your file to the Speaker Ready Room (Room 524) the day before the presentation. All presentations will be coordinated, saved on the ISMRM network, and transmitted to the room of your presentation from the Speaker Ready Room. You may not bring any presentations to the session rooms. To avoid confusion, always mark discs with your name and address, program number, and day and time of your presentation. Please arrive at your session room at least 15 minutes before the session begins, introduce yourself to the chairs of the session, and familiarize yourself with the audiovisual controls.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
If your PowerPoint presentation contains video
files, it is very important that they are tested in the Speaker
Ready Room as early as possible. If your video file fails to display
properly on the provided machines, it may take hours to fix it in
some cases. Video files are not embedded into PowerPoint and must be
submitted separately. |
