SYMPOSIUM PRESENTATIONS

Symposium Presentation Instructions

• All Presenters for each symposium are to register for their attendance at the conference by 30 September 2022. If you need to make changes to your symposium plan (for example due to lack of availability of a presenter) please contact HSR2022@eventstudio.com.au 
• Symposia sessions run for 75 minutes. Symposia presenters are free to allocate the time within their session as they choose, but are encouraged to include time for questions and discussion.
• Symposium presenters are asked to submit a pre-recorded summary of their symposium, at a maximum 30 minutes in length, in advance of the in-person event in Sydney. You may choose to focus on the contribution of one or two presentations from within the session, rather than trying to include all the content. The summary video recording can be delivered by one presenter on behalf of the group or include sections from each presenter. You are required to upload a pre-recorded version in MP4 format via the dropbox link below by 31 October 2022. You will not have the opportunity to make any edits once the file has been uploaded.
• All registered delegates will have access to the On-Demand Portal post conference portal which will feature presentations to watch at their own convenience for 4 months.
• Prior to attending the in person Conference in Sydney, please ensure that you check the program to confirm your allocated session and time.
  
• Symposium Presentations must not be any longer than the allocated time slot and the nominated chairperson will ensure the program stays on time.

At the Conference

Preparing for your Presentation

All session rooms will be equipped with a laptop (Windows), lectern, microphone, lapel microphone and data projector supplied by the in-house av contractor. It is recommended that you use these laptops and play back devices.

If you must use your own laptop, advise this office before 31 October 2022. Ensure you bring the appropriate adaptors and please note that the venue will not provide any technical support for equipment it does not own and maintain.

The preferred method of presentation is via PowerPoint. PowerPoint presentations should be prepared in wide screen 16:9 (not standard 4:3 format). You must bring your presentation to the conference on USB Flash drive for it to be loaded onto the Conference system by an audiovisual technician in the speakers’ preparation room. Please have your presentation saved under your last/family name.

On Arrival

Presenters are requested to report to the registration desk on arrival. You will be directed to the speaker preparation area where your presentation will be uploaded and verified. If you have a MAC or special presentation requirements, please see the technical operators in the speaker preparation area for assistance. Meet with your session chairperson in the session room 10-15 minutes prior to the commencement of the session. If at all possible, please check your presentation material in the speaker preparation area well before your presentation time to avoid any problems when you present.
