Notes for paper presenters:
Each talk has been allocated ten minutes - eight for delivery and two for questions/discussions. A bell will sound at the end of eight minutes, and again at nine. There is a best paper prize, and points will be deducted for exceeding your time. In order to ensure a smooth changeover between talks, we suggest you send us your presentation in slide format to info@iosconference.org at the earliest. You will always receive an acknowledgement. If you do not, it means that your slides have not transmitted successfully. Please note that anyone who sends on their presentation must also bring a copy of it to the meeting.
The person in charge of audio-visual facilities at the conference is Ollie O’Flanagan. If you have specific queries regarding format, video-clips, Apple Macs, etc., do contact him at ooflanagan@rcsi.ie immediately (his mobile number should you need it is 00 353 87 9672013). Anyone wishing to use an Apple Mac must bring along the VGA conversion dongle that comes with the Mac.
Mr. Flanagan will be available to load slides at the venue on Thursday 6 October between 6 pm and 7.30 pm, and again on Friday / Saturday mornings between 8 am and 9 am; and during refreshment breaks on each of these two days. Please ensure you meet up with him and give him your slides well in advance of your slot. It will not be possible to do this at other times, and especially not at the start of your presentation.
The best paper will be announced at the end of the conference on Saturday afternoon.
Notes for poster presenters:
Please ensure your poster is put up by 9 am on Friday 7 October. The judges will visit the display later that day during the second coffee break (3.30 to 4 pm) and may wish to speak to you regarding your material - you should be available at the poster at this time should you be required.
The best poster prize will be announced at the end of the conference on Saturday afternoon, and attracts a prize.
