Call for Abstracts 2013 Following on from the success of PMOz 2012’s program of experiential learning and innovation - PMOz 2013 will build on this success to ensure that this year’s conference will be the best project management conference in Australia, not only because of our commitment to quality speakers, but our commitment to presenting the forefront of experiential learning, enriching the knowledge base and skills of PMOz delegates. Be part of this success by becoming a PMOz 2013 presenter! This is your opportunity to have your voice heard by and engaged and attentive audience. Have your name and work recognised by the crème de la crème of the Project, Portfolio and Program industry. This is a not to be missed opportunity! The theme for PMOz 2013 is ‘Driving and sustaining the Future of the Australian Economy ’ PMOz 2013 will focus on the role of Project, Portfolio and Program Management, as the key used by governments, businesses and other organisations to implement strategy, increase national wealth (both social and economic) and craft a sustainable future. Optimising this value creation requires the linking of innovation to strategy, the strategic plan to portfolio management, the efficient delivery of the selected projects and programs, and the implementation of the change within the organisations to realise the intended benefits and deliver real value. Within this overall theme, each of the streams within the program will provide a series of focussed sessions highlighting one or more aspects of the ‘value chain’ within an industry focus: banking and finance, construction and engineering, government, ICT and ‘Not-for-profit’. Change is the precursor to success; but sustained success requires the right changes, delivered at the right time! This means doing the right projects and programs for the right reasons, and doing them well! PMOz 2013 welcomes the following contributions to the program:

Academic Papers that will be double-blind peer reviewed and presented at the Conference. PMOz has a B-

Grade ranking from the Australian Research Council (to find out more about ERA rankings please visit our

Step 2: Online Abstract Submission ...................................................................... DUE 30 June ‘13

Once you have completed all of the require forms and have them ready to upload with your submission of your

abstract, please visit the Conference website: www.pmoz.com.au, the Abstract/Papers page, to submit your

abstract.

Your Abstract should be no larger than 300 words and follow the layout and formatting outlined in Appendix

seven. All accepted abstracts will be published. This is only possible with the full permission and

acknowledgement of the Author/s. If you are submitting an abstract for review please complete the ‘Speaker’s

Charter’ form and return it to the Conference Office with your abstract submission.

**Please note** the software will only allow you to upload one abstract per presentation. You will therefore

need to follow this submission process for all abstract submissions.

stream, learner outcome, intention to submit a paper for the Conference Proceedings), author (including

biography) and co-author details, as well as upload your Abstract (word .docx format), Speaker Charter (pdf), high

successfully saved.

Should this screen not appear, please check the file types of your uploads and try again. Should you continue to

have troubles with this submission process, please contact the Conference office on +61 7 3334 4400.

Another indicator of the successful submission of your abstract is an automatic confirmation letter (Appendix

emails to spam filters. If you have not received your confirmation letter, please first check your spam filter.

Should one of our emails be found in the spam/junk email folder please check your email settings to ensure

future Conference communication may reach you.

Should you not receive an automatic confirmation email, please contact the Conference office immediately in

order to confirm if your abstract has indeed been successfully submitted.

Step 3: Checking the status of Abstract Submission .......................................................................

To check the status of the abstract reviews, please log on to the PMOz website. Login access can be found on the

top right hand side of the screen.

You will then be prompted to input your email address and the password you created upon your abstract

submission. If you have forgotten your password, please click on the “Forgot or don’t have password” link

(Appendix four) – A new password will then be automatically generated for you and sent to your email address.

Please note that the Conference Office does not have access to any lost passwords or regenerated passwords. It is

the speaker’s responsibility to keep their password in an easily retrievable location.

Once successfully logged in you will be brought to a summary page. You will be able to see at a glance your paper

title, status (under review, accepted, paper, declined), score and action (Appendix five).

Please note that the status of your abstract will state that it is under review until the review process has been

completed.

Once the review process has been complete and your status reads “Paper” – this is an indication that your

abstract has been accepted and that the Conference office is now waiting upon your paper submission,

registration, PowerPoint and one minute video submission.

Once the review process has been complete and your status reads “Accepted” – this is an indication that your

abstract has been accepted and that the Conference is now waiting upon your registration, PowerPoint and one

minute video submission and your paper submission (if applicable). Please refer to page7-11 for more details.

Once the review process has been completed and your status reads “Declined” – unfortunately the abstract

submitted has been unsuccessful.

Please note that there will also be an email sent to you notifying you of the status of your abstract submission

once reviews are complete.


Page 7

Step 4: Accepted Speakers – Paper submissions ...........................................................................

Paper submissions are not a required component of your presentation at PMOz 2013.

This year there will be two types of Papers accepted for the Conference proceedings: Academic papers and non-

academic/case study/experiential papers. You can present at PMOz without submitting a paper, but if you would

like to submit a paper for the Conference Proceedings, be published online AND present at PMOz, please read the

following:

Full Academic Papers (if applicable)……………………………………………….. DUE 11 July ‘13

Presenters who wish to submit a paper for review are required to prepare papers, strictly according to the format

outline provided in Appendix six and using the template found in Appendix seven of these guidelines.

Please ensure you have read the full paper guidelines prior to writing your paper as all papers must adhere to

these specifications or risk not being included in the proceedings.

Refereed papers will go through a formal and rigorous double-blind refereeing process. In your first paper

submission please omit the names of all authors. This process insures anonymity and impartiality. Papers

submitted to be refereed must adhere to full academic requirements (including formatting, layout and

referencing as outlined in Appendix six). The referees should be only be assessing the quality of your paper and

not be concerned with the layout. For this reason it is imperative that full academic papers adhere to the above

mentioned guidelines.

The Program Chair has the final decision where referees are unable to agree on the acceptability of a submitted

paper.

A Peer Review Report will be completed by the reviewers and will then be provided to the paper author by the 25

July 2013, to update their paper final to the ‘camera ready’ submission. The final ‘camera ready’ submission, due

11 August 2013, will then be reviewed again to insure all requested changes have been made and the papers are

PMOz 2013 Proceedings-ready. Please insure that the final ‘camera ready’ paper includes the names of all

authors.

Full papers which have been received by the due dates and which have been successfully reviewed will be

published on the PMGlobal website and Conference USB proceedings. You will be notified by email if your paper

has been accepted for the Conference Proceedings on 31 August 2013.

Please note: if your academic paper is not deemed acceptable at an academic standard, you may still have your

paper published in the proceedings as a non-academic paper. Non-acceptance is not an indication of the success

of your presentation at PMOz 2013. Presentations are accepted on the merit of your abstract and the perceived

value to PMOz delegates – therefore those who submit an unsuccessful paper should NOT withdraw their

presentation from the program.


Page 8

Full Non-Academic Papers (if applicable)……………………………………………DUE 1 August ’13

Paper submissions are not a required component of your presentation at PMOz 2013.

Presenters who wish to submit a paper for the Conference Proceedings are required to prepare papers, strictly

according to the format outline provided in the template found in Appendix eight of these guidelines.

Please ensure you have read the full paper guidelines prior to writing your paper as all papers must adhere to

these specifications or risk not being included in the proceedings.

Non-Academic papers are those which are taken from experience, case studies and/or observations. These papers

are NOT reviewed and will serve as an addendum to the author’s presentation.

Please insure that your paper follows the correct formatting and layout in order for all papers to be presented in a

similar fashion.

Please note that non-academic papers should hold and be perceived to hold value for the delegate.

Commercial/promotional papers advertising a product/service/program etc. will not be accepted into the

Conference proceedings.

Poster presentations (Poster Presenters only)…………………………… DUE 16 September ‘13

Posters are to be mounted at the commencement of the Conference and are to remain in place for the duration

Poster orientation : Portrait

The poster title should appear across the top of the poster with author(s) name(s), address(es) and organisation(s) underneath (presenters name underlined).

Suggestions for poster presentations

Remember, you have a short period of time to capture attention and convey your message. Your poster needs to

attract people from a distance and convey a clear ‘story’.

Include a photo of the presenter, preferably in the top right corner of the poster. This helps the viewer identify the presenter for follow up information.

Font recommendations – Title: 25mm high, Authors name etc.: (24 – 32 point font), Headings and sub-headings: 15mm high, Text: 8mm high

Line spacing at least 1.5

Include logos of any assisting organisation, usually at the bottom of the poster


Page 12

Keep text to a minimum

Ensure the key message is highly visible. Develop simple and clear messages.

Use contrasting colours where appropriate in charts, diagrams etc. Avoid text in red and green as partial colour-blindness is common

Include clear, large figures and photos that are appropriate and beneficial to the key message and the visual appeal.


Page 13

Step 6: Presenting at PMOz 2013 ........................................................ FROM 17-18 September ‘13

The PMOz 2013 program will consist of 30 minute presentations. Accepted speakers should note that

presentation times will be strictly enforced in order for the program to run to schedule. Accepted speakers are

strongly urged to plan their presentation to fit neatly into the 30 minutes allocated. Speakers should also plan to

leave 5-10 minutes within their timeslot for fielding delegate questions.

Please also note that accepted presenters in the program are accepted in an unpaid position. Accepted speakers

will be required to cover all costs of presenting at PMOz 2013 including, but not limited to, speaker registration,

flights and accommodation.

Before arriving onsite for the Conference please ensure you have read and are aware of the below listed items.

Meeting with Chairperson in session rooms

A briefing session for presenters will be held in the break prior to your session in your allocated presentation

room. This is an opportunity for you to meet with the Audio Visual technicians and the Chairperson of your

session to discuss biographies and the use of the equipment. Please insure you are there at least 15 minutes prior

to the commencement of your session.

It is the presenter’s responsibility to be in their session room and to identify themselves at the start of the break

prior to their session. Being punctual to these meetings is essential in order to meet your chair person and ensure

that your introduction is correct and succinct. Attending this meeting will also ensure that you are on time to your

presentation and are familiar with your presentation space.

Presentation adjustments onsite

Should your PowerPoint presentation change after it has been submitted to the Conference Office, please ensure

you have brought your PowerPoint on a USB to be handed to the AV technician onsite in the Speakers Preparation

Room, whom will then upload your revised presentation to your session room. Please note that you may not

upload your PowerPoint on the Computer in your session room. It must be uploaded in the Speakers Preparation

Room in order to then link it to the appropriate holding slides.

Please insure that this is done well in advance of your presentation as there is generally quite a demand for this

service.

Audio Visual

At the time of your abstract submission you will be required to indicate what AV you would like in your session

room. Please note these requests will be filled based on the demand for the item in the room specified, the size of

the room and on Conference budget.

All session rooms are equipped with a lectern, lectern microphone, data projector, screen and a laptop with PowerPoint software

Presentation duration and Q&A

Speakers MUST NOT go over their allocated session time. The allocated time for your presentation should also


Page 14

include time for any delegate questions. It is very important that speakers prepare their presentation to fit within

these time constraints in order for the program to flow smoothly as well as to not seem unprepared in front of

the delegates when your presentation is cut short by the Chairperson.

Speaker’s Corner/Zone

The Speaker Zone will be located in the Trade Exhibition Area of the Conference for Speakers to make themselves

available to delegates to discuss their presentations. Should your presentation run out of time for questions

please let the delegates know that you will be available in the break directly following your session for questions

in the Speaker Zone.
