Standard Oral Presentations will be allocated 15 minutes for their presentation,  which includes 12 minutes for the presentation and 3 minutes for questions and answers to be held at the conclusion of the presentation. If you would like to present an Oral Presentation, please nominate this request when you submit via the Submission Portal.

Presentations which are not accepted for an oral presentation will be considered for a poster presentation.

The format of presentations will be a similar style to a TED talk; no lectern or stage, PowerPoint presentation with minimal text and maximum visuals, and an engaging presentation.

Lightning Poster Presentations will be allocated 3 minutes oral presentation time in the plenary room in addition to participating in the poster session.

A Lightning Presenter will give their ‘speed talk’ at their allocated timeslot prior the the Poster Session to give an overview of the research, giving the presenter an opportunity to showcase their work to their audience. The presenter will then participate as a presenter during the Poster Session.
