Oral Presentations

Oral Presentations are scheduled to last for a total of 10 minutes which is allocated as 7 minutes for the Oral Presentation followed by 2 minutes of questions and 1 minute for change over to the next Presentation.

This will be strictly monitored by the appointed Chairpersons who will signal the end of the presentation period and the start of questioning.

It is advisable to have several rehearsals of your presentation so that you will be able to deliver this within the allotted time period of 7 minutes.

A data projector and a laptop will be provided in each presentation room. The laptops provided run Microsoft Windows 7 or Windows 10 and Office-Products. Presenters will not be able to use their own laptops as there is insufficient time to allow for swap over

A preview room will be located within the venue where presenters can check their slides. Staff will be able to assist in giving directions to this room if necessary. However, the Presentations MUST be loaded onto the laptops in the designated session room for each delegate in advance of their session. It is advisable to load presentations, during the breaks or at least one hour before the presentation.

Please attend your session at least 10 minutes beforehand to introduce yourself to the Session Chairs and familiarize yourself with the podium, laser pointer etc. The Chairpersons will have a register of the presentations for their sessions and any presenter failing to attend will have their abstract withdrawn. All Presenters will receive a Congress Certificate for their scientific contribution in the congress.

Please note: Your presentations should be uploaded in PowerPoint format with maximum size 5 Megabits starting from 7 September 2021 up to 30 September 2021; where submission of presentations after this date will not be possible.

The Posters with Oral Discussions/Presentations are a combination of displaying a Poster in the Exhibition Hall area followed by an Oral Presentation in separate session Halls/Rooms. Each presenting author will be allowed 2 minutes as an oral presentation (Maximum3 slides) to summarize his research.

The e-Poster is in PowerPoint format with integrated videos, animations and/or added audio commentary. Please note, there is NO slide limitation for an e- Poster.

E-Poster is a way to translate science to the congress delegates. E-Posters will explain the science in a new way; they may contain oral explanations, videos, additional statistic materials, PowerPoint presentations etc.  All e-Posters will be available at:  the e-Poster Corner in the exhibition where this can offer extensive viewing by the delegates.

Kindly note: e-Posters are not used/intended for poster presentations in regular poster sessions. e-Posters are self-explanatory and will be used to expose your findings via MMISU Resource Centre to all who could not attend MMISU2021. Only poster presented as an e-Poster format will be made available in MMISU Resource Centre (online) & e-Poster Corner (onsite).
