Oral Presentation
The oral presentations will be allocated in 6 parallel sessions in four and half days. Each presentation takes 20 minutes, including a brief introduction of the presenter by the session chairperson, question time and moving around.

Presenters should prepare their presentation using Microsoft PowerPoint, save the presentation on either CD ROM or USB flash disk and bring it with them to the Congress. All presenters will be asked to copy their PPT on the computer in the Congress preview room while registration or one day before the presentation.

The IMPC2008 requires at least one author/presenter per paper to register for the event and pay the registration fee prior to final programming. Please note that papers without any registrant will be removed from the program and the Proceedings.

Presenters are required to bring one printed brief curriculum vitae (100 words or less) to the Congress and hand it over when register or one day before the presentation. The CV will be used by the session chairperson to introduce the presenter prior to their presentation.

Posters Information
In this section, each author would have one day for poster presentation. Authors are required to bring the poster to the Congress and the organizer would provide double sided tape (sticky on one side and hooked on the other) to the presenter to mount the poster.
The detailed poster program is yet to be finalized and will be released on the Congress website of www.impc2008.org in June.
