Presenter Information

All of the talks were designated by the PC Committee as either Oral or Poster Presentation. The type of talk was mentioned in the acceptance email sent to you and also can be verified on the CIVR website (www.civr.org). The instructions for both the oral and poster presentations are given in this document:

"ORAL PRESENTATION" INSTRUCTIONS:

PRESENTING YOUR PAPER
You should be present in the Auditorium in time for your presentation, from where you will be called to the stage by the Session Chair. Your presentation should last around 20 minutes (17 minutes for the talk and 3 minutes for questions). Please remember to keep an eye on the Session Chair, who will give you a signal when the time is approaching to bring your presentation to a close. The order of the talks is given on the CIVR website.

EQUIPMENT
The following equipment will be made available in the Auditorium: PC and data projector equipped with Windows Office 2000 (including Powerpoint), and Adobe Acrobat Reader, an overhead projector, and a VHS video player. If you need to be provided with any equipment that is not listed here, please contact Jennifer Quirk (quirk@beckman.uiuc.edu) in plenty time for this to be arranged.

"POSTER PRESENTATION" INSTRUCTIONS:

The Poster Display will take place in the Lobby of the Beckman Institute on Thursday, July 24th 2003. There will be two sessions – Poster Session 1 begins at 12:25pm, and Poster Session 2 begins at 5:35pm. When you arrive, you should ask at the registration desk for the number of your poster stand and your poster session. Note that you can already find out which poster session you are in from the program at the conference website (www.civr.org).

EXHIBITION PANELS
You will be provided with an exhibition stand made up of one 58" (width) x 46.5" (height) panel (147cm width x 118cm height). Stands will be numbered. Tacks will be provided to hang the posters on the panels.

TIMETABLE
The exhibition stands will already have been set up by the time you arrive. The timetable of activities is as follows:
Poster Session 1
8:30am – 9:10am - Presenters to set up displays; 12:10pm – 12:25pm - Boaster Session (see below); 12:25pm – 1:40pm - Poster Session 1;

Please remove your posters as soon as possible after your session.

“BOASTER SESSIONS”
Each Poster Session will be preceded by a “Boaster” Session – this will be your chance to inform your audience about the display you have provided. Presenters from each session will be invited to the Auditorium stage to speak to delegates for one minute only. You may use a single overhead transparency to illustrate your talk if you wish. The person nominated to “boast” about your display should make their way to the side of the stage as quickly as possible at the beginning of the session, and form an orderly queue! You will then be invited to the stage, as a group, by the Session Chair.
