Speakers are requested to bring their presentation on a USB memory stick in either Office 2010 or .pdf format and preload it onto the PC/laptop located in the lecture theatre. Speakers should save their presentation into the appropriate pre-named session folders pre-set on the desktop and files should be saved by speaker’s surname and initial. To optimise compatibility, particularly for the inclusion of multimedia components, speakers should include the original files so that it can be re-embedded if necessary. Direct connection of personal laptops (with set up in the break prior to the corresponding session) is an acceptable but not preferred alternative. Mac users should ensure that they bring the correct connection cable (VGA) with them. The electrical current in the UK is 230v AC and 3 pin plug sockets. If you need an adapter, please bring one with you. The lecture theatre is reasonably large, and speakers should use a minimum 16-point font size in PowerPoint slides to ensure legibility. Presenters are asked to prepare their talks to match the allocated times which will be rigidly enforced. Poster presenters The poster session will take place from 18:20 – 19:30 on Thursday 3 December. Authors are asked to remain next to their posters during the poster session, for as much time as possible to answer questions. Please visit http://electro15.iopconfs.org/ to view the poster programme. Displaying and removing posters Posters can be mounted from 09:30 on Thursday 3 December and must be removed by 16:30 on Friday 4 December. Any posters not removed by this time will be recycled. Dimensions Posters must be no larger than A0 in size (118.9 x 84.1cm / 46.8 x 33.1 inches), in portrait format. If your poster does not fit within these dimensions, we cannot guarantee it will be displayed. Fixing material will be supplied. Content Posters are a visual presentation of your research and as such we recommend that you use schematic diagrams, graphs and tables, where possible, rather than just text. Please use an appropriate sized font so the information is legible at a distance of 1 metre. Your poster should include the title, author's name, and affiliations with the presenting author underlined. We recommend that this information is placed top centre of the page. For the poster, we recommend that you include an abstract, method section, results section and a conclusion or summary. You might also want to list key references or acknowledgements. If you decide to structure your poster differently, please ensure you format the poster with clear headings and keep text to a minimum. Scientific programme Please refer to the Electrospinning: Principles, Practice and Possibilities conference website at http://electro15.iopconfs.org/ for the latest programme. A printed copy of the programme will be available on arrival.
