Presentation requirements:

There are two possible timing options for presentations: 40 minutes or 60 minutes. The first 2 days of the conference will be comprised of 40 minute presentation, with the third ("in-depth") day will have 60 minute presentations. For each of these options, we recommend that presenters allow 5 minutes for questions.

Note that if your presentation is selected you must comply with the following:

1. Provide PowerPoint or PDF slides by 2 March 2010 for inclusion on the digital conference media as PDF.
2. If PowerPoint or PDF slides are NOT received by 2 March 2010 then the program committee may decide to replace the presentation with an alternative.
3. If for any reason the nominated speaker cannot present then the conference program committee or the conference organisers must be informed as soon as possible and no later than seven days prior to the commencement of the conference. The program committee reserves the right to allocate the presentation slot to another presenter in this event.
