INSTRUCTIONS TO PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS

(a) ORAL PRESENTATIONS: Session Time Allocations: Most sessions are 135 minutes long each with three presenters; some sessions are 60 minutes long set up us as thematic brainstorming roundtables. Session Moderators: Assume overall responsibility for your session. Make an effort to contact the session participants before the meeting. Inform them that each presentation room will be equipped with flipchart and power point capability. Ask them if they have any special needs relating to their presentation and, in collaboration with the registration desk, try to satisfy those needs. Arrive at the session room 10 minutes in advance and make sure that it is in order and properly equipped. Welcome and introduce the participants. Start the session on time and adhere to the time schedule. Moderate the open discussion to the best of your ability. Presenters: Each presenter should take no more than 30 minutes and each; any remaining time should be devoted to questions from the audience. Stay within the allotted time of 30 minutes even though it may not be enough! Be well prepared. Please do not just read your paper. Your presentation of main points, methods, and conclusions should lead to a fruitful discussion during and after the session. Bring with you and make available five or more copies of your manuscript. Every presentation room will be equipped with screens, flipcharts and power point capability (computer and projector). For Power Point presentations, please feel free to bring your own equipment and all necessary cables and transformers required by standards in Greece. If the session's moderator is absent, the last presenter listed should take on the role of the moderator. (b) POSTER PRESENTATIONS:

• Displays and presentations have been scheduled to take place daily from 12 Noon to 1 PM Please search in the Program to find out when you present and be prepared to display prior to your presentation. After your presentation, please remove all materials that relate to your poster.

• Posters should be prepared on heavy paper (preferably laminated), plastic, foam or other that can readily be displayed and not exceed 3ft x 4ft (36 x 48 inches). Please note that FIRN would not provide any construction materials for, or electricity to, the posters.

• Posters should easily read from 2-3 feet away. Text should be limited to the core ideas and

presented in a font size that allows one to read it with ease. Experienced poster presenters suggest 3-6 graphics to mix in with your text to make the posters more engaging. Bring with you and make available five or more copies of your abstract and/or manuscript.
