The conference will begin at 10:00am and will consist of a series of four sessions. Speakers must be in their room at the start of each session, and remain throughout the session. Each presentation consists of a 10 minutes talk followed by 5 minutes for questions. A 20 minutes break is allowed between sessions, and 1 hour is allowed for lunch. Material for presentations should be brought with the speaker on the day. Microsoft PowerPoint presentations are preferred, but equipment is available to allow the use of overhead transparencies. Speakers should come to their room at least 10 minutes before the start of their session to test/set up their presentations. Members of the SCARP Team will be available for help and advice.
