Only PowerPoint presentations will be accepted (*.ppt or .pps). Speakers must submit their presentations at least ONE DAY before their session in order for it to be loaded and checked.
How to submit your presentation: |
The name of your talk should include the time of presentation and your last name. For example, 0920_Sandeman.pps or 1420_Sandeman.pps.
1) Before Tuesday afternoon (May 22) – Upload to our FTP site: Contact the Technical Services Chair (Kelly_Pierce@gov.nt.ca) for log-in instructions. This is so the receipt of your presentation can be confirmed. Or load onto your own FTP site and email the instructions to Kelly.
2) Tuesday May 22, 3-9pm – Drop off at Registration Booth: Registration will be at the Explorer Hotel for the IceBreaker event. Memory sticks or CDs may be dropped off, labels will be provided, and picked up Wednesday at the LOC Office (Yellowknife Inn, Silver Room).
3) Wednesday to Friday – Bring to the Talk Drop-Off Desk at the Technical Venue: Please check which venue you are presenting in and bring your presentation to the Talk Drop-Off Desk: |

Capital Theatre: Outside of Theatre 1
Yellowknife Inn: LOC Office (Silver Room) |

Presentations will be loaded on the dedicated computer (running Office 2003 software). Speakers may not use their own laptops. |
If requested, the presentation can be deleted immediately following the talk session.
Each presentation room will have one data projector, and the podium will be equipped with a reading light, controls for the laptop, one stationary and one wireless microphone (theatre only), and a laser pointer. Speakers are invited to familiarize themselves with the presentation area prior to their session or during coffee breaks. |
|
Oral presentations are allotted 20 minutes |
15 minutes for the actual presentation, and 5 minutes for questions/set-up/etc.
Time slots will be closely monitored by the session chairpersons in order to keep the parallel sessions synchronised. |
|
Note of Caution: |
| 1) Limit animations (including videos), as this may increase the risk of presentation errors: |
If you insist on placing animations into your presentation, ensure that you include the associated files (eg. avi, mpeg) and the software (eg. Flash) to run the animation. These files are external to PowerPoint and the appropriate software may not be loaded on the laptop.
Advise the Technical Services Chair of any animations, and provide your presentation at least one day in advance of the session so that the animation can be checked. |
|
| 2) Reduce the size of your presentation: |
| High resolution images of several megabytes, often from digital cameras, will increase your presentation size and possibly result in slow performance. Office 2003 has a feature to compress pictures to screen resolution. This will dramatically reduce your file size without negatively impacting the quality of the images. |
|
Please contact the Technical Services Chair ( Kelly_Pierce@gov.nt.ca) if you have any questions regarding your presentation.
