Information for presentations and posters

Oral presentations

Please note that the use of personal laptops for presentations will not be permissible. Presentations must be provided to a representative of the NZCS by the morning of the presentation day. Presentations can be brought to the conference registration desk at the Transport World, Invercargill each morning until 8.30 am (note: conference laptops are Windows-based not Mac). Please bring your file on a USB memory stick with the presenter’s name as the file name for ease of loading. Please ensure your memory stick is virus free. The allocated time for your talk is 15 minutes plus 5 minutes for discussion and questions. Keynote speakers and workshop presenters will be individually advised of their time allocations. Due to the tight timeframe, we emphasise the importance of starting and finishing on time. Session chairs have been instructed to ensure that you do not go over your allocated time. There will be a 3-minute and a 1-minute flash card to indicate that you need to wrap it up. Speakers are required to sit in the front of the room (for fast changeover of speakers). Each room is equipped with a computer with data projector, laser pointer and various microphones. Please familiarise yourself with audio/visual equipment at your speaking venue during a break. There will be a helper on hand if you require assistance during your talk. All presentations must be PowerPoint files


Poster presentations

Posters can be A0 or A1 size. Please bring your posters to the Transport World, Invercargill conference registration desk during the Wednesday morning pre-conference registration session between 8:00 am and 9.30 am. There you will be given pins or tac and directed to your poster space. The poster viewing session is scheduled for Thursday morning tea. We encourage all poster presenters to stand near their posters during this session. All delegates will be free to view posters at their leisure on other days. It is the responsibility of poster-owners to remove their posters by 1 pm on the Friday. Any posters remaining after the conference may be disposed of and not returned to owners. If you will not be attending the full conference, it is your responsibility to arrange someone else to remove your poster on your behalf.

 

* There is space available at the conference icebreaker event being held at The Handlebar for presenters to display their posters should they wish to do so, please feel free to bring them along on Tuesday evening. The organising committee will arrange for your posters to be transported to the conference venue (Transport World) ahead of the conference kick-off on Wednesday.
