Presentation Guidelines

Presentation Upload

Please upload your presentation using the link below. If you encounter any problems with the upload, please try using a different web browser.

With many files uploaded through this link, it is essential that you conform to the following filename convention: Day_Session_Time.

All presentations must be uploaded using the above link at least one day prior to their presentation slot. In addition, all presenters must go to the speaker ready room to check their presentation on the university system to ensure there are no compatibility issues.

Lastly, presenters should arrive to their allocated presentation room at least 10-minutes before the start of the session to introduce themselves to the session chair and do a final check of their presentation at the lectern.

Duration

Oral presentations must be 10-12 minutes (speakers will be stopped at 12 minutes) followed by questions to a maximum of 15 minutes total. This will include the changeover of speakers, so you will not have slides available for the last 1 minute of questions.

Language

All presentations must be delivered in English.

Presentation Format

  • PowerPoint (preferred) and PDF presentations only
  • Aspect ratio: 16:9
  • Save your presentation in PPTX format (not PPSX or .ppt) or PDF
  • Presentations must be run from the podium PCs not personal laptops
  • Presentations must be uploaded via the speaker ready room at least one full session, or 2 hours before (whichever is longer) in advance of when you are presenting

Design Guidelines

  • Avoid non-standard fonts unless embedded and included in your uploaded presentations
  • If you wish to use an ISBS 2026 logo within your presentation, please see the files at the end of this page
Video
  • Where you can, embed videos within the presentation to avoid as many codec issues as possible
  • Limit individual video sizes to under 100 MB if possible
  • Embedded videos must be tested on Windows PCs and we recommend testing once uploaded onto a university compute in the speaker ready room. Technical support is limited within the sessions and they need to run to time.
Apple/Mac/Linux Users
  • Always test your presentation on a PC with Microsoft Office before arriving and on the University computers in the speaker ready room
  • Save the file with a .pptx or .pdf extension to ensure compatibility

  • The poster size is A0 (841 x 1189 mm) and there is no set template
  • The posters should be oriented in portrait
  • The previously available on-campus poster printing service is now closed for submissions.
  • There will be no ‘oral presentation’ associated with the poster, but each poster will be alloacted a specific poster session (day) in which the poster should be presented

To ensure maximum exposure, we ask that you mount your poster the afternoon before you are due to present. This will give delegates time to peruse posters at their leisure during morning break and lunch time. Please remove your poster at the end of the poster session and pass them onto one of the conference helpers (purple t-shirt). They will then by taken away for recycling.
