ORAL PRESENTATIONS

Oral presentations will be run from a PC using Windows XP. We would prefer talks to be prepared in Microsoft Powerpoint.. If you have any concerns over your presentation after you have been notified of your abstract decision, please contact Dan Perry.

NOTE THAT

For those speaking in the main lecture theatre

The operating system is Windows 7, MS Office 2010

For those speaking in the marquee

The operating system is Windows XP, MS Office 2007

For Apple Macintosh users please save your file as a PDF file for use on a PC.  We strongly advise you to check that your presentation works as you intend it to on a PC, prior to bringing it to the Challenger Conference. 

For those NOT running MS Office 2007 or 2010 on their PCs, we advise that you save your ppt as normal in 2003. The 2003 format will work in BOTH oral venues.

PLEASE BRING your presentation on a USB MEMORY STICK to the Challenger registration desk at the START of the challenger conference week for uploading onto the challenger conference presentation computers.  The challenger registration desk will be located in the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton on level 4. You must upload your talk no later than one day before you are due to present. For those speaking on Monday and not based at NOC, please bring your presentation files to the Sunday reception desk at the accommodation halls between 3 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Sunday.

POSTER PRESENTATIONS

For poster presentations, please use up to A0 size in PORTRAIT orientation. We will provide velcro strips or white tac for attachment to poster boards or walls. Posters will need to go up at the start of the week. There will be TWO dedicated sessions for the posters giving ample time for delegates and presenters to interact, accompanied by a selection of refreshments and small eats.
