Conference Format
The event will last one day and is divided into four sessions, including several panel sessions. Five minutes before the start of each session, the chair will ask all speakers to take a seat on the stage.
The conference will then be opened by the chair who will introduce the keynote speakers on stage. Speakers from each session will be on stage together enabling interaction with each other and the delegates.
All speakers will be equipped with table and hand microphones.
Presentation slides should be provided in advance (see ‘Presentations' section) and will be run from a central conference laptop. During session breaks, speakers will have the time to go through their presentation with the technical team and will be shown how to change slides.
Speaker Arrival
You are requested to come to the conference room 15 minutes before your conference session is due to start in order to ensure your presentation has been correctly uploaded onto the laptop. During this time we would also like to brief you on the audio-visual setup.
Presentations
Please note that all presentations should be given to us by the Monday 1st September 2007. We also recommend bringing a back-up copy to the conference on a USB memory stick or CD. In order to have the most efficient transition between speakers on the day, we prefer to run the presentations on the conference laptop. This is why we require the presentations in advance.
Please upload your presentation onto our website - http://www.worlddab.org/events/upload/145 - enter your email address and upload code 27102008
Your presentation language may be in English or Chinese. We have simultaneous translation throughout the conference.
We would also like to kindly request that you send us your latest biography and a picture, which will be put in the programme pack. The deadline for this information is the 1st September 2008.
Technical Requirements
To avoid any potential technical problems on the day, please let us know if you have any particular technical requirements such as non-standard software, running of movies/audio. Please inform us by 1st October 2008 if you require any of these. This will ensure we have everything ready for your presentation.
