The three rooms we are using for sessions all have a PC with monitor, a data projector and screen, and speakers. Microsoft Office 365 is installed on the PCs and they run the 2013 version of PowerPoint. Two of the three rooms also have an induction loop and a DVD player. (If you would like to use either of these latter features, please let Hannah know so that she can arrange the programme accordingly). All conference delegates will have access to free wifi: please ask at the Conference Registration Desk for details.
We ask that presenters who will be using PowerPoint presentations describe any images they use and keep text to a minimum. Please also consider using a high contrast colour scheme and a simple template. If you intend to circulate handouts, please provide large print (18 pt) and send electronic versions to Hannah in advance. A dropbox folder will be made available to conference delegates who wish to access documents electronically. Please e-mail Hannah or Vanessa if you would like access to this folder. Braille and large print copies of the conference programme will be available from the Conference Registration Desk.
Papers should last no more than 20 minutes and this time should include the time needed to describe any images included in the presentation. Chairs will alert presenters when they reach the 20 minute mark and ask them to conclude their presentations. After all the presenters in a session have given their papers, there will be time for discussion and questions. Please assist Chairs and Presenters by giving your name before you ask a question.
Large print name badges will be available for delegates who would like to use them.
All the conference papers will be presented in rooms on the ground floor of the Management Building. The art exhibits will also be on display on the ground floor of the Management Building. Breakfast (for residential delegates and guests), refreshments and lunch will also be served in this building.
