Information for speakers

A computer projector and laptop with MS PowerPoint will be available for use. All presentations we receive electronically will be loaded onto this PC and checked for compatibility. Speakers can also use their own computers for the presentation if that is more convenient. If any additional audio visual equipment is required, then please contact us as soon as possible, so that we can make the necessary arrangements.

We would appreciate a copy of the material (slides/transparencies) that you are going to present one week prior to the meeting. We use these to provide the delegates with a bound set of pre-prints at the meeting. We can accept most formats electronically. A paper copy would be a useful backup. Many Thanks.
