Information for Oral Presentations (General Presentations), Symposia, and Award Lectures

1. Each oral presentation (general presentation) at the discussion session will last 20 minutes: 15 minutes for the presentation (a warning buzzer will sound at the end of 12 minutes) and 5 minutes for the discussion and change of presenters. Please be punctual. Symposium presenters and award-winning speakers will be contacted separately. The language for presentations and Q&A sessions should be either English or Japanese.
2. All presentations will be given using an LCD projector, so please prepare slides using PowerPoint or other presentation software. We ask for your cooperation in using English as the language of the slide screen so that international students and participants from overseas can understand the content of your presentation. We have confirmed that all venues can display slides in either standard or wide aspect ratio, but please note that some venues may shrink slightly when the slides are set to wide.
3. Speakers are requested to prepare their own computers for their presentations. 10 minutes of preparation time will be allotted for each of the three or four presentations. During this time, speakers are requested to connect their computers to the designated terminals and make sure that they are properly projected from the LCD projector. HDMI will be used for computer connections. Please bring your own adapter if necessary.
4. Please bring a backup file of your presentation slides on a USB memory stick or similar device in case of computer trouble.
