It is important that you prepare an interesting and informative presentation for the conference. You should assume that the audience will consult the printed version, rather than simply listening to your presentation.
Please consider the following guidelines as you prepare your presentation:
Audio-visual: The auditorium will be equipped with an LCD projector and screen for computer-based presentations. Only electronic presentations will be permitted (PowerPoint, Adobe PDF, HTML browser, etc.). Electronic presentations with a single computer screen will be the only presentation medium available (no multi-screen presentations, photographic slides, or overheads, please). Further details are still being finalized.
Time limit: You have 15 minutes (12+3 minutes for questions), including the time for your introduction and for you to walk to the podium to deliver your presentation. In some sessions there may be extra time at the end of the session that can be used for additional questions, as designated by the session Chair.
Computer Presentation Tips - Never use black type on a dark-colored background or white letters on a light-colored background. Use large, (18+ point size) simple block letters; the best type font is a bold sans serif (e.g. Arial). For graphs and charts, use heavy lines for curves and use a minimum of lightweight grid lines. Use only horizontal lettering unless absolutely necessary (such as on graphs); other lettering is difficult for the audience to read.
To insure against computer malfunction, bring a
backup of your presentation INCLUDING ALL LINKED ITEMS (e.g.) video
clips, in the same folder, on a CD or USB hard drive.
Both the posters for 8-page and 2-page papers will have an allocated space of about 90cm wide by 120cm high (36 inches by 48 inches). Your poster, in portrait format, must not exceed these dimensions.
The conference organizers will assign a number to each poster (for both 8-page and 2-page papers), which you will be able to find in the Program. This number indicates the localization of the poster and will appear in the upper left hand corner of the allocated space. You will have to check this information with the final program that will be given to you at the on-site registration.
The posters must remain mounted for the entire duration of the conference, regardless of the schedule of your presentation. Participants are responsible for mounting their posters on the day before the conference begins, and for removing the posters on the final day of the conference.
As
every year at MICCAI, all poster presenters
with a 8-page paper will have to deliver a 45-second "teaser". We ask
the
authors of posters for 8-page papers to provide a PowerPoint slide that
will be included in a continuous presentation for the teaser session,
which will take place in the morning (the same day as the poster
session). The slides will be run in sequence without a break, and no
speaker will be allowed to excess this 45-second time limit due to the
very tight schedule.
Here are a few recommendations to help authors to format your
teaser:
Authors must send their teaser BEFORE October 1st.
