SPEAKER PREPARATION
If your presentation is in the Auditorium, please upload your talk with the tech in the room, on arrival at the conference or a minimum of 2 breaks prior to your session starting. If you are in one of the other rooms, please bring your presentation on Day 1 (Monday 18 August) to the room you are presenting in, as there will be a tech available all day. If your presentation is not ready by this time, there will be a floating AV tech to assist uploading your presentation, however you must allow plenty of time prior to your session to upload as the techs are roaming between 3 spaces.

The Auditorium has a dedicated tech for sessions in this room, the other rooms have a tech to assist across multiple rooms, this is why it is important to be prepared and upload early. If you are not attending on the day prior or if your presentation is ready in advance, please send your presentation via email at least one day before your presentation to mia.t@asnevents.net.au. The earlier the better.

You should bring your talk on a USB, saved in an appropriate format (i.e. PowerPoint 16:9) for display on a PC and projector within the room and clearly labelled with the Time(in 24hr format)_Session_Name (eg. 0930_Session 2_Mia Tobing). 

Please note there are no Mac computers in the presentation room.

Please arrive to your room at least 15 minutes prior to your session to meet with the chair and other speakers in your session.
