Presentations
Presentations can be in the form of case studies on innovative investments or practices that have been implemented by institutions, or alternative projections on how the sector will need to adapt to address the challenges it will face in the future.
Participants will be able to submit their interest under three Categories:
-
Call for Papers – this will require delegates to submit an abstract and, if selected, a full paper MUST be prepared and is subject to peer review.
-
Call for Abstracts – this will require delegates to submit an abstract and, if selected, a power point presentation only is required.
-
Poster – this will require delegates to submit an abstract and, if selected, a poster is to be prepared and displayed for the duration of the conference. At least one author must be present on the day of poster defence.
Oral Presentations
All oral presentations will be 50 minutes in length including questions and answer time.
Please read the instructions carefully before preparing your abstract. All abstracts must be submitted via the conference website. Go to the Abstracts page and click on the “submit abstract” button or connect from the home page.
Poster Presentations
Participants wishing to submit an abstract for a visual poster display instead of an oral paper will need to ensure that their actual poster display does not exceed 1.5m high x 0.95m wide.
These will be mounted on a panel in the Trade Exhibition area, with relevant poster defence time allocated in the program. Full poster preparation guidelines will be provided to interested parties on the conference website.
