CMT 2015 PRESENTATION AND POSTER FORMAT GUIDELINES

Please read the following information carefully to ensure that your oral presentation or poster conforms to the

CMT 2015 format guidelines and the conference runs smoothly.

Oral Presentations

Presentations must be 15 minutes in length with 5 additional minutes allocated for questions and answers, for

a total of 20 minutes allocated to each presenter. Please respect these time limitations so sessions stay on

schedule. If you are using presentation slides, these must be prepared in Microsoft PowerPoint (PC version

only) and brought to the room where your session will be held on a USB drive (PC formatted only). You must

present your slides for uploading no later than 15 minutes prior to the beginning of your session. Please do not

utilize Apple / Macintosh formatted USB drives or PowerPoint presentations to avoid compatibility issues.

Please avoid web-based presentations (e.g., Prezi) as internet connectivity cannot be guaranteed, and you

should also bring an Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) version of your presentation in case format problems emerge.

Posters

There will be a poster session and reception from 4:30 PM to 6:00 PM on Tuesday November 10, 2015 where

poster authors will be required to display their posters and stand nearby to answer any questions from

conference delegates. Light refreshments, hors-d'oeuvres, and a cash bar will be provided to encourage

participation in this session, which will allow poster presenters to meet delegates and discuss their research in

an informal atmosphere. Please set up your poster on the provided poster board stands (see picture below) in

Naupaka Room V / VI between 6:00 PM on Monday November 9 and 1:00 PM on Tuesday November 10.

Specific poster format guidelines are as follows:

Vertical dimensions of your poster should be: 4 feet high (approximately 120 cm.) Horizontal dimensions of your poster should be: 3 feet wide (approximately 90 cm.)
