- In some cases your paper might not be in the session
you requested. It is also possible that,
although you requested an oral presentation, time and space requirements may
have caused a change of your submission to a poster presentation.
- If
you have not received an e-mail by mid-April 2006 and/or your name and paper do not appear
in the program, please contact
program@csc2006.ca.
Length
- Please check your
e-mail and the schedule for the exact presentation
time and length of your presentation.
- Most papers are 20 minutes in length: 15 minutes of
presentation and 5 minutes of questions.
Handouts
- Any handouts are the responsibility of the presenter.
- Please ensure that you have sufficient quantities of
any handouts you wish to use.
Posters
-
There will be two posters on
each side of the poster board.
Poster boards approximately 1.2 meters high by 2.4 meters wide will be available in the
Exhibition area (Port Royal Room) for mounting posters
on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday from 9:30 to 16:30; you must mount your posters
on the day you will be presenting.
Remember that you will have only half that space for your poster, nominally
a square 1.15 meters high by 1.15 meters wide. The
location of your board space
is identified with the sequence number found in the general program or on this
web site. Your poster must be removed immediately after the end of the
poster session in which you are presenting.
- Two posters
are assigned per board side.
Presenters
can only use the allotted space; they must not infringe on the adjacent
poster(s).
- Appropriate materials will be provided to
allow you to attach your poster to the board.
- Presenters
are asked to be present during the period 17:00 - 19:00 hours on the day
they are presenting (Sunday and Monday) or 16:40 - 18:40 on Tuesday to
answer inquiries by visitors to their poster displays.
- A cash bar wine/beer reception
will be held in this area during the same time.
- Posters must be installed on
the appropriate day between 9:30 and 16:30. Posters must be taken down
immediately after the end of the poster session in which you are presenting;
posters not removed will not be saved.
Audio/Visual Equipment
- Overhead projectors and LCD projectors will be
provided in all rooms. One 35-mm slide projector is available for the
entire conference and must be booked in advance; please check the
appropriate box on the webHermes submission site.
- Presenters
are free to use their
own laptop for their presentation, but must ensure compatibility with the LCD
projector prior to the start of their session.
- The
Conference will supply computers equipped with a CD-ROM drive and USB ports.
Presenters
are encouraged to bring their presentation on a CD or a USB
flash drive or, to be really safe, on both. The computer will be running Windows 2000 with MS Office
XP for Power Point presentations. No
floppy drives will be available for use on these machines.
- MS
Media Player will be loaded on the machines; however, Presenters
running '.avi'
movies should check their presentation on a computer in the Speaker Ready Room
to ensure there are no problems. Problems have occurred in the
past regarding running different international editions of the software.
Bringing the movie as a separate file is strongly recommended.
-
Acrobat
Reader will also be installed but no
other software will be available for Presenters
to use on the supplied
computers. In the event that a presenter
wishes to run other software, (s)he is asked to bring her/his own laptop to the presentation.
-
There
will be a Speaker Ready Room with A/V equipment to preview your presentation.
Please check prior to the day of your session that your presentation
works with the supplied system.
Backup
- If you are using
PowerPoint, we strongly
recommend that you also bring it as a .pdf file (having made sure to embed
all fonts); Acrobat Reader can run a slide show from a .pdf version of a
PowerPoint presentation prepared on either a PC or a Mac.
Full Papers
- The 89th Canadian Chemistry Conference and Exhibition
uses abstracts only.
- Some symposia and session chairs
may have made
arrangements for papers to be published. Please contact
your session chair for details.
- Presenters
are encouraged to submit manuscripts of their
presentations to the
Canadian Journal of
Chemistry, and other
periodicals that express interest in the topics discussed in the conference.
