Presentation Guidelines

The official language of the IEEE M2GARSS 2024 is English. Its Technical Program consists of poster and oral presentations delivered in-person or virtually.

In-Person Oral Presentations

Each presentation time is allocated 15 minutes. It is recommended that presentation should take 10 minutes, leaving 5 minutes for introduction, summary, and questions from the audience. Pre-recorded presentations are NOT ALLOWED. Surrogate presenters must be sufficiently familiar with the material being presented to answer detailed questions from the audience. In addition, the surrogate presenter must contact the Session Chair in advance of the presenter’s session.

All presentation rooms will be equipped with a computer, a data projector, a microphone (for the amphitheater room), and a pointing device.

It is important that the sessions remain on time. The session chair is responsible for keeping presentations on schedule. Any setup time used is part of the overall 15 minute presentation time, so it is a good idea to check the visual aids before the session begins.

Presenters should locate their session room in due time and be in the room before the session begins. Presentations must be uploaded to the room presentation computer via USB at the start of the scheduled session's day. Presenters must check if formulas/animations are shown correctly.

Please do not attempt to use personal computers to connect to the projector. For speed and efficiency, use only the conference-provided computer for displaying the presentation visual aids.

Virtual Oral Presentations

Each presentation should be made in real-time LIVE in a zoom-based virtual room (i.e. by sharing the screen) from the website. Each live presentation time is allocated 15 minutes. It is recommended that presentation should take 10 minutes, leaving 5 minutes for introduction, summary, and questions from the audience. All virtual oral presenters will need to send a 10-minute video presentation as a backup before the conference, however, presenters must be present to answer questions; otherwise the paper will be considered a no-show!

In-person Poster Presentations

The ideal poster is designed to attract attention, provide a brief overview of the work, and initiate discussion. Carefully and completely prepare the poster well in advance of the conference.

For each paper accepted within a poster session, one A0 board is reserved for the use.

The boards will be arranged in rows. Each reserved paper space will be assigned a number. Every paper being presented at the same time will also be assigned a number. The number, called the Board Number, will identify the place to post the poster. Authors are requested to: 1) put up their poster at the start of the scheduled session’s day; 2) stand by their poster during the poster session; 3) remove their poster at the end of the scheduled session’s day.

IMPORTANT: there MUST be a presenter standing at the poster during the entire scheduled poster time. A poster that is mounted to the board, but without any person presenting it will be considered a no-show!

Make the poster as self-explanatory as possible. This will save the efforts for technical discussions. Prepare a short presentation of about 5 minutes that can be periodically given to those assembled around the poster. If possible, more than one author should attend the session to aid in presentations and discussions, and to provide the presenters with the chance to rest or briefly view other posters.

Virtual Poster Presentations

No live presentation, but a video played by the session chair.

All poster presenters will need to send a 5-minute video presentation before the conference, otherwise the paper will be considered a no-show!

Live Q&A of 10 minutes after every batch of 4 video presentations. Presenters must be present to answer questions; otherwise the paper will be considered a no-show!

All videos and other media should be created according to the Video Preparation Instructions.
