On the Day
All speaker presentations will be loaded onto the venue’s system and displayed on a screen behind the speaker which can be controlled using a wireless remote mouse (clicker) that is easy to use and fits in the palm of your hand. There will be a lectern on the stage. Speakers will be able to use the lectern microphone or a lapel microphone. You will have a foldback screen in front of you that will display your speaker notes as well as your next slide.
All speakers are asked to keep to their allocated time to ensure the Meeting runs on time. There will be a timer on the lectern for you to use, and the Slatts team will give you a sign from the back of the room when you need to wrap up. Please note that Abstract speakers are asked to prep their presentations (guide: 5 min + 5 min Q&A) and are reminded that they need disclosure statements on their slides.
Please return your lapel microphone and clicker to the AV desk at the end of your session.
Role of Chairs
Chairs have been allocated to sessions, and their role is to help sessions run smoothly, introduce all speakers and wrap up sessions in a timely manner. If there is time for Q&A, your session Chair will facilitate questions from the lectern.
The week before the ANZTCT ASM all Chairs will be sent a basic script to make their own.
Chairs will have a timer on the lectern they can use to help their session stay on time.
Chairs are requested not to kick off their allocated session until they are given the OK from a member of TeamSlatts to ensure AV is ready and doors are closed.
