Presentation Requirements
Presentation Guidelines
Technical Specifications
- Presentations must be prepared using Microsoft Office PowerPoint compatible with the Windows Operating System.
- Please bring your presentation with you on the day. We recommend you have a backup copy in case there is an issue with the first copy.
- Familiarise yourself with the room set-up and audio-visual equipment in the speaker preparation area. This will allow you adequate time to work with the technicians to set up your requirements.
- Lectern and microphone will be available for individual speakers. Handheld mics will be provided for each panellist during the panel discussions.
- All presentations should be created and designed in 16:9 screen aspect ratio (wider image display). This will ensure your presentation uses the whole screen.
- Off-line rather than on-line techniques should be used to present websites.
- Speakers will not have to turn the microphone on or off, the Audio Technician assigned to the room will control volumes from the control panel.
- The in-house audio-visual equipment must be used.
- Please contact AusBiotech if you are preparing your presentation from a Mac or if you want to use a different solution than PowerPoint as we would have to check compatibility with our AV provider.
