Presentation Guides


Oral Presentation Instructions:

  • Each oral presentation is allocated 20 minutes, including 15 minutes for the presentation and 3 minutes for questions and discussion, and 2 minutes for the changing time and introduction of speaker.
  • Presenters must bring their presentation on a USB flash drive, and are advised to include files in .ppt, .pptx, and .pdf formats to avoid compatibility issues.
  • Files must be uploaded to the computer in the session room before the session starts. Uploading during the talk is not allowed.
  • Presenters must arrive in their session room at least 10 minutes before the session begins to check in with the Session Chair and ensure their presentation is ready.
  • Each session room will be equipped with a projector and a computer running Microsoft PowerPoint and Adobe Acrobat Reader.
  • If the presentation includes videos or animations, these should be embedded in the file. Please also bring the original media files (e.g. .mp4, .avi, .mov) and prepare a simplified backup version without media in case of technical difficulties.

Poster Presentation Instructions:

  • Posters must be prepared in A1 portrait format (594 mm wide × 841 mm high), and should include the title, names and affiliations of all authors.  Please use the MAIQS 2025 poster template.
  • Presenters are responsible for bringing their printed posters.
  • Posters must be mounted before 8:30 AM on the 26 August and removed at the end of 28 August.
  • Each poster board will be clearly numbered. Presenters must mount their posters on the correct numbered board as listed in the PDF programme.
  • Pins will be provided in the poster area. Presenters are responsible for both mounting and removing their own posters.

Online Presentation Instructions:

  • Online presentations will be delivered via Microsoft Teams. A dedicated Teams link for each session will be sent to presenters one week before the conference.
  • Presenters must ensure they have Microsoft Teams installed or access to the web version, and that their device is equipped with a working microphone, camera, and stable Internet connection.
  • Each online presentation follows the same format as in-person presentations, with 20 minutes, including 15 minutes for the presentation and 3 minutes for questions and discussion, and 2 minutes for the changing time and introduction of speaker.
  • Presenters are expected to join their session at least 10 minutes early to check connectivity and test screen sharing.
  • Presentations should be prepared in .ppt, .pptx, or .pdf formats, and shared via screen share during the session.
  • A session chair or technical host will be present to assist with coordination and facilitate the Q&A.
