PowerPoint Slides

Please ensure you use a PowerPoint 16:9 format. There isn't a AMN11 template to use. Please save your file as follows: Session name (as per conference programme)_Presenting Author's First and Last Name. Example: Session 2A_John Deer. Please upload your slides HERE by Saturday 8 February. We ask that you also bring your presentation on a usb stick for backup purposes.

Speakers Preview Room

Please ensure you report to the AV techs at least 4 hours before you are due to present, to check and/or upload your presentation. If you are presenting in the morning, please see the AV techs in the afternoon of the previous day. The Speakers Preview Room will be located at the end of the Dobson Foyer, just outside Room Dobson 4.

Poster Presentations

Preparing your Poster Presentation

Please print your poster in A0 portrait size and bring it with you to the conference. Once onsite, find the poster board allocated to you (your poster board number is indicated on the conference programme) and hang it using the velcro dots provided (they will be attached to the board). Your poster will be on display for the full duration of the conference.

Poster Session

The Poster Session will take place during the Lunch Break on Tuesday 11 February, 12.45pm - 1.45pm. Please stand by your poster at this time so you can talk with attendees and answer their questions about your poster.

Modelling and Theory

You will have the opportunity to indicate your areas of interest through the online abstract submission process.

Presentation Formats
Oral presentations will be allocated 12+3 minutes, which will accommodate the presentation followed by short discussion.
Posters will be allocated a 1 metre wide x 2 meters high board and the poster must fit within this area. The boards are covered in a front runner material which are suitable for Velcro (supplied by the organisers).

You will have the opportunity to select your preferred format during the online abstract submission process.

Abstract Review
Submitted abstracts will be reviewed by the conference organising committee who will do their best to accommodate the wishes of the submitters for oral or poster presentations. However, it is expected that due to the large number of submissions that some requests for oral presentations will have to be assigned as posters. If your submission is not accepted for an oral presentation it is not a reflection of the quality of your submission but rather due to time constraints and the need to ensure all aspects of the conference topics are adequately covered. The organisers reserve the right to reject submitted abstracts that are poorly written, do not follow the submission guidelines and/or are outside the scope of the conference. Notification of acceptance will be emailed by 27 September 2024.

Audiovisual Equipment
Each room at the conference venue will have a minimum of the following:

Data projector
Laptop
Screen

Presenters should bring their presentation to the conference on a memory stick. A technician will be onsite to load your presentation. However you will be emailed 2-3 weeks prior to the conference by the organisers who will ask for you to email your presentation if you have it ready.

Presenters Registration
All presenters, other than those specifically sponsored, or those advised by the Conference Committee as being registration fee exempt, are required to register and pay for the conference. Presenters also need to meet their own travel and accommodation costs. Presenters need to register and pay by 25 October 2024 otherwise their paper risks being removed from the programme.
