GUIDELINES:
_____________________________________________
Guidelines for ORAL PRESENTATIONS - Submitted Program
Introduction: The Congress Committee thank you for agreeing to present at the upcoming 20th COS Annual Congress at Naga World Hotel, Phnom Penh, Cambodia. This document has been prepared to assist you with planning an effective presentation for congress.
Registration: All submitted free paper presenters must register and pay the applicable registration fee to remain in the program. There is no concessionary registration fee for presenters. Presenters who fail to pay registration fees risk being removed from the program at the discretion of the Program Committee.
Preparing Your Presentation: Conflict of Interest: All speakers must state and declare any Conflict of Interest (including Financial Disclosure) with regard to each of their presentations. If there is no Conflict of Interest, speakers simply state ‘Conflict of Interest: NONE’ on the SECOND SLIDE. If there is a conflict, please state ‘Conflict of Interest: Yes’ and followed by the details.
Video: Any video clips in your presentation files should be in MP4 encoded to H.264 or WMV format that can be played in PowerPoint. Do NOT use .mov (QuickTime) or .3pg files, which are NOT supported by PowerPoint for Windows. Please test the video and make sure it plays properly before your live presentation.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please INSERT your video into the PowerPoint. Do NOT use ‘link to file’ as the link will become invalid when your PowerPoint is played on a different computer.
Font: When choosing fonts for your presentation, please make sure they are supported by Microsoft Office 2010. If a non-standard font is used, it should be embedded in your PowerPoint presentation. The following link shows how to embed fonts for a consistent text appearance across systems in PowerPoint: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/291924. Text, tables, and graphics should be of sufficient size to be clearly visible at a distance. Large amounts of information should be split across slides.
Images: Presenters may use images in their presentations, where appropriate. It is the presenters’ responsibility to ensure they have the copyright permission to use the images in their presentations. They are recommended to compress the images to 96 dpi in the presentation file; this will significantly reduce the overall size of the presentation file without compromising the image quality. Such an image compression feature is available on the Picture Toolbar in PowerPoint. Make use of graphs and diagrams to get your message across and keep these graphics simple.
Design: Make sure that your text contrasts sufficiently with the background colors to be legible. For example, use white or yellow text on a dark background or vice versa. Judicious use of colors and illustrations can enhance your message or clarify an idea, but do not go overboard with too many colors or fancy fonts. Also, avoid too many special effects as they should impact the presentation but not detract from it.
Content: The Congress attendees – will have a variety of experiences, interests, and levels of knowledge, please make sure you give enough background of your abstract and explain clearly the topic presented.
Language: All presentations are to be made in English. If English is not your first language, please write down your points in advance and practice well. Speak slowly, use short sentences, and avoid phrases that are difficult to pronounce.
Presentation Schedule: Please check your presentation schedule online at www.cambodiacos.com/page.php?p=62. You can also log in to your registration account to check your involvement summary and look for any updates before you prepare your PowerPoint.
Presentation Duration: Each session will last for 90 minutes. The duration of each presentation will depend on the number of speakers in a particular session. Please review the schedule online for the session format.
