Instructions for paper presenters and discussants at DRUID's Nelson and Winter Conference

Last update: 28 May 01

Here are the instructions for presenters and discussants at the Nelson and Winter Conference. Please stick to the rules. Please observe that the website, the conference CD_ROM, and the Book of Abstracts include three types of papers: (1) Invited Conference Papers for the plenary sessions and as lead papers for the parallel sessions, (2) Ordinary Conference Papers that will be presented in parallel sessions, and (3) Electronic Papers that are available for the participants and that will be evaluated but not presented at the conference. If you need more than the abstract of a paper, you should make a copy it in advance. Only some of the papers will be available in printed form at the conference.

Basic format of sessions

Each session normally include three papers and lasts about one and a half hour. Here is a standard time schedule:

• First paper presentation by the author = 15 minutes
• Second paper presentation by the author = 15 minutes
• Third paper presentation by the author = 15 minutes
• First discussant = 12 minutes
• Second discussant = 12 minutes
• General discussion and replies from the authors = approx. 20 minutes

Conditions for presentations

• Overhead projectors are the standard tool for all presentors. Thus e.g. PowerPoint shows should in nearly all cases be transferred to transparencies.
• Projectors for computer screens are not normally available, except in at the plenary sessions. If you really need this facility, there might be possibilities. Please contect the conference secretariat on that matter, even if you are a plenary session presenter.
