2023 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE AUTOMATICS, ROBOTICS & ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (ICARAI)

• It is imperative that presentations are delivered in English.
• Each presentation will be 15 minutes long. We recommend spending 12 minutes presenting and 3 minutes for discussion or questions.
• The available equipment will be a PC, a projector and microphones. The PC will have sound to facilitate the use of videos.
• The session PCs will have access to the Internet.
• The recommended file type to be used for presentations is PowerPoint or Portable Document Format (PDF).
• The presentation files should be brought on a USB, memory stick or a similar memory device.
• Speakers are requested to upload their presentation on to the session PC and report to the session chair 15 minutes before the start of the session.
• All presenters will be introduced to the audience by the session chair.
• As the total duration of your presentations is 15 minutes, the recommended number of slides for your PowerPoint file is 15.
• The audience should respect the speaker's time and wait until the end of speech before asking questions. Audience members should not interrupt or distract the speakers, to ensure the best possible atmosphere for concentration.
• The audience should always show the maximum respect to other peoples’ presentations. We don't need to all think the same way, but we do need to be respectful.

• Its contents should be structured and have the following parts: title, introduction, methods, results, discussion, etc.
• Presentations should not contain full paragraphs of text. Use a bulleted list or outline format and elaborate on the points in your talk.
• Every slide should contain a title that summarizes the information presented on the slide.
• Create a logical flow for your presentation.
• The fonts that are used should be in sans serif type (like Arial or Helvetica). This is because when projected on a big screen, letters lose some of their clarity, and serif type (like Times) can be blurry.
• Use large fonts, as big as realistically possible. Small fonts are hard to read.
• Use contrasting colours – for example either a dark background with light text or a light background with dark text.
• Avoid busy backgrounds that will make the text hard to read. Keep the background simple.
• Limit your graphics to 1-3 per page. Too many graphics can be distracting.
• Avoid all CAPITAL LETTERS IN YOUR TEXT. It will look like you're shouting.
• Include a good combination of words, pictures, and graphics. Variety keeps the presentation interesting.
• Slides are designed to supplement your presentation, not to BE your presentation. Keep it simple, and don't read your presentation word for word from your slides – this bores the audience.
• Fill out a storyboard before you begin to put your presentation together. It will help it to stay structured, relevant and things will get done faster.
• As the total duration of your presentations is 15 minutes, the recommended number of slides for your PowerPoint file is 15/20.
• Don't read from the slide - vary your choice of words.
• Don't talk to the screen; maintain eye contact with the audience.
• Use a laser pointer to indicate salient features of the slide as you speak (there will be one provided in the session room).
• Speak loudly and clearly.

• The official language of the event is English, therefore all posters should be written and presented in English.
• Poster sessions will provide an opportunity for authors to display the results and conclusions of their papers.
• Your poster will be exhibited during the conference poster session. Authors MUST be at their poster during the session.
• Posters will be listed by session in the Conference Programme and Proceedings.
• We recommend that you provide small envelopes for distributing your business cards and collecting business cards from those who request additional information. This is a good way of inviting and encouraging interaction with your audience. You may also wish to provide copies of a short summary of your presentation for distribution.
