INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL ORAL PRESENTATIONS

The speaking/question period times for 30 minute, 20 minute, and 15 minute oral presentations are 25/5, 17/3, and 13/2 minutes respectively. You are expected to notify the session chair of your presence just before the start of the session so that he/she knows you are present. There will be no rearrangement of papers within an oral session to accommodate absences or cancellations, so the time you have been assigned within the oral session is fixed.

If you need to make changes or withdraw your abstract/title from the program BEFORE THE CONFERENCE, please contact J. Brooks at brooks@magnet.fsu.edu. If you need to make changes or withdraw your presentation from the program ON SITE AT THE CONFERENCE, please contact Alice Hobbs in the Publication Room located near the Main Symposium Lecture Room.

ISCOM will offer ONLY computerized projection facilities for oral presentations, including an LCD projector, a computer, and a screen. PRESENTATIONS MUST BE MADE IN ELECTRONIC (POWER POINT, PDF, ETC.) FORM. The following will acquaint you with the specific procedure being adopted for ISCOM.

PRESENTATIONS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED FROM PERSONAL LAPTOPS. All oral presenters are required to submit an electronic version of their presentation by 7:00 pm of the day prior to their presentation on site in the Speaker Preparation Office located adjacent to the Main Symposium Lecture Room (see schedule below). Presentations must be submitted in Microsoft Power Point format (but may be saved as a PDF). It is strongly recommended that presenters save their Power Point presentations with True Type fonts attached. Acceptable transfer media include: CD and USB flashdrive (memory sticks). All presentations will be scanned for any viruses and subsequently loaded on the main projector computer for the following day's presentations. Any changes to a file prior to its presentation must be made through the Speaker Presentation Office. Authors are strongly encouraged to bring an additional electronic copy for added security against unanticipated software/hardware anomalies.

PRESENTATIONS PREPARED ON PLATFORMS OTHER THAN WINDOWS (MAC, ETC.) SHOULD BE CHECKED BY THE AUTHOR FOR COMPATIBILITY WITH THE WINDOWS PLATFORM PRIOR TO THE PRESENTATION. No audio will be available, but animations and movies in AVI or Windows media player format will be projectable.
