ORAL PRESENTATION GUIDELINES


 

Oral presentations at SNMICON 2024 are scheduled for 8 minutes, followed by an additional 2 minutes for questions and discussion. So, the total time per paper is 10 minutes. Presenters are required to use the equipment available in the session hall, which may include a desktop or laptop provided on the day of the event. The available device will operate on Windows OS with Microsoft PowerPoint pre-installed. To ensure a smooth transition between speakers, presenters should bring a copy of their presentation on a USB drive. Assistance from an SNMICON-2024 volunteer will be available in the session hall to help with uploading, setting up, and projecting the presentation.

Guidelines for Presentation Content
  1. Avoid overload: Ensure that each slide communicates a single idea clearly, avoiding cluttered layouts or excessive text.
  2. Add visual appeal: Incorporate images, charts, and graphics to convey information without using too many words and equations for your audience to read.
  3. Put in the practice: Familiarize yourself with your slides and practice your delivery to refine your timing and confidence.
  4. Concise and focused content.
