Guidance for Presenters: 

INFORMATION FOR PRESENTERS:

ORAL PRESENTATIONS:

All talks are 15mins long plus 5mins for questions.

Oral presentations will be made live using Zoom. Presenters will be able to share their screen and control their slides.

Presenters should join the session in which they are presenting using the Whova event link. The Zoom meeting is already set up and integrated into the Whova event. When given the option of 'Join in Zoom' or 'Join in Whova', please choose the JOIN IN ZOOM option. This will give you 'co-host' access to be able to share your screen.

 

We ask that all presenters join their session Zoom link at least 5 minutes before the session starts. The audience will be able to ask questions either via the chat function or by raising their virtual hand. If you would like us to record your talk please let us know.

POSTER PRESENTATIONS:

Posters and social events will take place via the ICPLA GatherTown space, also only accessible to those registered.

  • Accessing the posters: All posters will be available to view 24 hours per day, from Tuesday the 22nd of June to at least Monday the 30th of June. When you approach a poster, click X to enlarge it on your screen.
  • Timing of poster presentations: All posters are scheduled in TWO time slots, this is because of time zone issues. If you can present in both time slots this will enable your poster to reach as big an audience as possible, so if you are based in Europe we highly recommend you come to both poster sessions. We are aware that presenters outside Europe won't be able to come to both sessions- that is ok, just come to the sessions that work for your time zone.  Please indicate on your poster which of the live presentation slots you will be available at. Odd number posters should present for the first 30mins of the session and even number posters for the second 30 mins 
  • Presenting your poster: You will also be able to share your screen, so please think about whether you would like to share additional audio-visual material, websites etc. This will enable you to interact with as many people as possible. Because your poster is a picture file people will be unable to click on links so please make any links short (use a link shortening site like https://bitly.com/) or use QR codes. 
  • Presenting via Gather Town: The virtual platform is very much like a real poster session- you will "stand" by your poster and connect to people "walking by" via video call. It's very intuitive, but if you haven't used it before we suggest you check out the demo version https://gather.town/ . The GatherTown will be open a couple of days before the conference to allow you to explore the virtual conference hall and find your poster.
