Presenter Briefing
You’re presenting.
Here’s how to be ready.
Congratulations on your accepted submission for NCRRRE 2026. This page covers how long you’ll have, how to get your presentation onto the room computer, and exactly what equipment is waiting for you. Read it now, then skim it again the week before the conference.
01
Your session at a glance
Find your presentation type below for your timing.
Academic
Presentation
30 min total slot
20 min presentation · 10 min questions
Aim to finish speaking at the 20-minute mark so your session chair can open it up for questions.
Case Study
Presentation
30 min total slot
15 min presentation · 15 min discussion & questions
Half your slot is conversation — come with a couple of prompts to get the discussion going.
Poster
Display + session
Poster session · Wed afternoon tea
Bring your printed A0 poster. You’ll stand with it during the poster session so delegates can talk to you about your work.
See full poster details below ↓ — the file, USB and room AV sections aren’t for you.

01A.pptx or 07C.pptx. When you upload, our system adds your name automatically, so that’s all we need to match your file to you. View the program to see your Session.One thing to plan around
You’ll present from the computer provided in the room — there’s no option to plug in your own laptop. Everything you need has to be on your USB or uploaded ahead of time.
03
Two ways to get us your file
Do one. Doing both is even safer.
Option A · Recommended
Upload ahead of time
Send us your presentation before you travel and we’ll have it loaded and waiting.
Option B · Always available
Bring it on a USB
Bring your presentation on a USB stick and load it onto the room computer before your session starts. This works even if you’ve missed the upload window — and it’s the backup we recommend everyone carries, uploaded or not.

On the day, in the room
A few minutes of prep saves a scramble.

Poster presenters
Everything you need — you won’t use the upload, USB or room AV above.
Your poster
Print your poster at A0 size and bring it with you — printing and delivery are your responsibility.
Make sure it clearly shows:
- Presenter name(s)
- Organisation name
- Job title
- Email address(es)
Bring a few business cards to leave beside your poster too.
Putting it up
Poster boards are in the Conference Foyer from 8:00am, Wednesday 19 August. Put your poster up any time from then — Velcro dots are provided to fix it to the board.
Every poster must be in place by 10:00am, Wednesday 19 August.
The poster session
Your session runs during Wednesday afternoon tea. Stand with your poster for the whole session so delegates can come and talk to you about your work.
Packing down
Take your poster down from the end of Thursday afternoon tea.
It must be removed by 4:00pm Thursday — anything still up after that is discarded.
