Naming your abstract.doc file:

1) choose the two-letter code that assigns your presentation to the appropriate Division or topic:

BA  Bacteria Division

DB  Diseases of Beneficial Invertebrates Division

FU  Fungus Division

MI  Microsporidia Division

MC  Microbial Control Division

NE  Nematode Division

VI  Virus Division

2) dash (-)

3) your last name

4) abstract number (if you are submitting more than one)

5) -O for “Oral” and -P for “Poster” (if you are submitting more than one)

e.g. If you (Dr/Mr/Ms. Jones) are submitting two abstracts in the Bacteria Division (BA), one for an Oral presentation and another as a Poster, you should name them:

BA-Jones1-O.doc

*BA-Jones2-P.doc

If you are submitting one abstract in the Bacteria Division (BA) and another in the Microbial Control Division (MC), both as Posters, your files would be:

BA-Jones1-P.doc

*MC-Jones2-P.doc

*See paragraph no. 1 under Abstract Submission regarding requests to submit more than one presentation.

6) If you want your work to be considered as a student presentation (competition for best student presentation), please indicate this by adding -STU at the and of the file name you are sending:

e.g. BA-Gomez-P-STU.doc


INFORMATION FOR PRESENTERS
Taking photographs, videos or making other reproductions of oral presentations and posters without author consent is PROHIBITED.

POSTER PRESENTATIONS

Posters will be displayed on poster boards and presenters must mount their work. Your poster dimension should not exceed 80 cm wide and 110 cm high (portrait). Suitable fixing materials will be provided by the Congress organizers and assistance will be available on site.

You are expected to attend your entire session, presenting your poster and interacting with other poster presenters.

The poster program will be announced later.

The organizers are not responsible for loss or damage to those posters which are not removed by authors within the times of dismantling as indicated in the program.

ORAL PRESENTATIONS

  • Times for oral presentations are listed in the program. Contributed oral presentations will be limited to 12 minutes with an additional 3 minutes for answering questions. Presentations are organized in concurrent sessions and as a result, session moderators will be instructed to keep to the scheduled times.
  • Length of symposium and Workshop Presentations will vary. More information can be obtained from the conveners of the different Symposia and Workshops.
  • Audiovisual Equipment: Presentation rooms are equipped with PC computers and projectors only. No other form of projection will be available.
  • Oral presentations must be supported by PowerPoint 2007. Due to time constraints and computer compatibility issues, presenters will not be permitted to use their own laptop (PC or MAC) in meeting rooms to deliver their presentations. Chose a standard font to ensure compatibility. PowerPoint files will load faster if the graphics file size is kept to a minimum.
  • Please bring your oral presentation (and a back up copy) on a CD or memory stick (USB) to the conference for uploading at the registration desk the day before your presentation.
