Oral Presentation

The oral presentation is a great way of informing the audience of your research, theoretical, professional or practice issues in a concise manner. You will have an allocated time to present your original and innovative work followed by some question time. Although there may be multiple authors for the paper, only a maximum of the two authors can present the paper. The program committee will group oral presentations into sessions throughout the program.

Workshop

Workshop sessions are based on a particular theme/topic, involving a small group of specialists providing brief interactive presentations with equally balanced audience participation through a discussion to assist learning. You can take a practical, hands on approach with your presentation.

Poster Display

The poster and art presentation involves displaying your research, theoretical, professional and / or practice issues in a visual format. This is an ideal medium for complex visual information and allows you to have personal interaction with your audience. More than one author may be involved in the display.
