Verbal Presenters

Please refer to the important information below if you have received confirmation that your abstract was accepted as a Verbal Presentation. 

Presentation Details:

Notification of your abstract was circulated in May 2023, with your presentation details also included in communications. Please refer to the accepted abstracts in the bottom of the email you would have received from the Meeting Organiser.  

Please note: Question time is included in your allocated presentation time, you must take into account question time when creating your presentation. Presenters who exceed their allocated time will be stopped to allow other presenters the opportunity to participate in the program.


Presentation Format:

The convener has requested that all presentations are conducted live, in person at Rydges Resort Hunter Valley (formerly known as Crowne Plaza Hunter Valley). If you are unable to attend in person, please advise the Meeting Organiser as soon as possible if you have not already done so. 


Registration/Attendance:

All presenters must be registered for the meeting. If you will be unable to present your verbal presentation in person, please contact the Meeting Organiser as soon as possible to arrange an alternative method. 


Presentation Template:

A PowerPoint template is available to use and can be downloaded below, however it is not compulsory.

Default screen format for is 16:9 (4:3 presentations will not be compromised).

The default aspect ratio for slides is 16:9 (wide screen) rather than 4:3. This is to reflect the fact that the standard template in the latest version of PowerPoint (Office 365 for Windows, Office 2016 for Mac) is 16:9 (wide screen) – which is in line with the format of most screens today (TVs, iPads, tablets, etc.). However, please note that the older 4:3 (non-wide screen) format will be supported and your presentation will not be compromised in size or resolution if you choose to stay with this format.

It is mandatory that you check in your presentation with onsite AV staff well before your presentation to ensure all audiovisual checks are completed. Please ensure you bring a copy of your presentation on a USB with you when attending onsite. You will also be required to sign a release form of your presentation which will be sent to you shortly and made available onsite.
