Contributed Paper Presentations Contributed Paper presentations should be 15 minutes long. There will be 3 minutes available for questions and 2 minutes for change over and set up. Computers, projectors, and screens will be provided in all presentation rooms. Please arrive at your presentation room a few minutes before the start of your Parallel Session and identify yourself to the Session Chair. The last speaker in each Contributed Paper will be the Session Chair unless notified otherwise.
Special Session Presentations For the length of special session presentations, check with the session chair as timings differ between sessions and the number of speakers and discussion. Computers, projectors, and screens will be provided in all presentation rooms. Please arrive at your presentation room a few minutes before the start of your Session.
First-time presenter’s award An award is made for the best first-time presenter at the conference. The criteria to qualify for this award are that the presenter should be making their first presentation at an AARES Conference and their first presentation at any national or international conference was no more than 12 months ago. If you qualify, please let your Session Chair know.
Session Chairs The last speaker in each Contributed Paper will be the Session Chair unless notified otherwise. The Session Chair ensures the smooth running of the conference by making sure that the presenters feel welcome and that all technical issues are resolved. There will be audio-visual technicians available to help with any technical issues, as well as LOC volunteers in each room.
The Conference Program is timed to synchronise presentations in parallel sessions to allow audience members to move between presentation rooms. This means that if a paper has been withdrawn, plan to take a recess for 15 minutes and stick to the original schedule.
Instructions for uploading presentations (for presenters in Contributed Paper sessions and Special Sessions)
Presentations are to be preloaded prior to the conference. Details on this will be provided later.
Please check the details of your session in the conference program and label your presentation file using this format: Date_Time_Paper Session Title_Location_Name
For back up only, please bring an electronic copy of your presentation to the conference venue on a USB drive, and make sure if not preloaded, you have provided your presentation to the audio-visual team at the Adelaide Convention Centre at least one hour before your session starts.
