Instructions for Presentation:-
ORAL PRESENTATIONS
Oral presentations delivered at the AFTER Conference must be 15 minutes in duration and also include
within this duration five minutes for Q&A and discussion. Either the author or one of the co-authors must
present the paper. These oral presentations must be delivered either with one’s laptop device or using the
device (that may be a desktop or a laptop) that will be available in the Session Hall on the day of the
conference. Presenters will have access to a device with a Windows OS, and therefore also MS Powerpoint,
to deliver their presentatio. Presenters are requested to carry their own laptops (if they choose to bring their own)
containing their presentations or pen drives containing their presentations to the Session Hall on the day of the presentation.
An AFTER Conference volunteer will assist presenters with uploading their presentations, setting their
slides, and projecting them.
POSTER PRESENTATIONS
Poster presenters are urged to take note of the following specifications. Every poster can be of a maximum size
of 36 inches wide and 48 inches high or in other words 3 ft. x 4ft. Presenters are requested to bring their own
printouts of their posters. Presenters are urged to set up their own posters on the morning of the Poster Presentation
ahead of the Opening Ceremony and remove them at the end of the session. Either the author or one of the co-authors
must make themselves available for a discussion about their poster at the poster session. All posters will be displayed
in the main Conference Hall at the conference venue.
VIRTUAL PRESENTATIONS
Presenters who won't be able to participate in the conference in person to deliver their presentations
can opt to do so virtually by delivering their presentations online. Those who wish to deliver their
presentations virtually are requested to take note of the following guidelines. Irrespective of whether
a presentation will be delivered online or in-person at the event, all presentations will take place as
scheduled on the day of the conference. Every online presenter will be given 15 minutes to deliver their
presentation. This time duration includes five minutes for Q&A and discussion. Presenters may choose to
either pre-record their presentations or deliver them live virtually. Either way, presenters are required
to inform the Session Chairs of their choice well before the start of the conference. Presenters who
have signified their willingness to deliver virtual presentations will be sent individual Zoom links
via email to their registered email ids. Every Zoom link will be unique for each online presenter,
and these links cannot be shared. Online presenters are urged to test their audio and video (devices,
webcams, and microphones) using the Zoom Test Platform ahead of time to avoid delays owing to potential
technical difficulties that may arise while they deliver their online presentations. Online presenters
are requested to make sure to share any presentations/documents that they may wish to use to elucidate
their statements during their presentations for the benefit of all the conference attendees who will be
watching their online presentations. An AFTER Conference Session Moderator will assist online presenters
with logging in (to Zoom), setting up of audio, video, and sharing of presentation docs and ppts,
should online presenters require any professional assistance with doing so. After the conclusion
of each presentation, the Session Chair will collect and relay questions from the audience members
to the online presenters for them to answer and offer clarity. All online presenters are requested
to login to their respective Zoom platforms (via the links sent to them) at least 30 minutes before
their presentations have been scheduled..
