- Desktop computers, projectors, laser pointers, microphones and a computer/sound technician will be available in all rooms where oral sessions will take place.

- Speakers can choose between using their own laptop or the desktop computer for their presentation. However, it is advisable to use the latter option. Make sure to copy your presentation to the desktop computer during an interval time before your session starts.

- We will be providing a Speaker Ready Room to presenters. To avoid last minute surprises, like a file being corrupted, not having the right software or the need to make some last minute tweaks to enhance a presentation, speakers should come by the Speaker Ready Room at least one day prior to their presentation and test them on the same equipment that will be used during the sessions.

- If you are a session chair, it is your responsibility to be in the allocated room at least 10 minutes before the session begins to meet the presenters and ensure that their audio visual needs are appropriately met.

- Contributed oral talks are 15 minutes long (12 + 3 minutes for questions) and invited talks are 30 minutes long (25 + 5 minutes for questions). Since ICPS 2008 has 5 parallel sessions, it is fundamental that you control the time as strictly as possible, to allow participants to circulate freely from one session to another.
