Do not worry about formatting. The INA17 editor will assign uniform formatting to all the abstracts. Once the abstract is received, accepted, and edited, it will be posted on the INA17 website.

 

- Indicate your preferred presentation type (oral or poster presentation)

 

Oral Presentations

Oral presentations are limited to 15 minutes in length, including questions.

All oral presentations must be in Microsoft PowerPoint format and be compatible with PowerPoint 2010. We also suggest that you create a backup version in Adobe PDF format.

 

 

Poster Presentations

  • Poster boards are in strict dimension of 70cm width x 85cm height.

  • All authors will deliver their posters at the Conference Desk during the registration  (Sunday15/09).

  • Poster sessions are scheduled and described in the general scientific programme.

  • Presenters are recommended to place the title at the top of the poster board to allow viewers to identify the paper and to highlight the author’s names, e-mail, and address information. Text, diagrams, figures should have a size to allow a viewer to read the poster easily from a distance of about 1.5meters.
