Presentation Devices

The oral presentation room will be equipped with a video projector (D-sub 15-pin VGA connector), an audio output (3.5 mm stereo minijack, paired 1/4" jacks or paired RCA phono connectors), a microphone, and a pointing device. A DVI connector and video adapter cables for newer Apple laptops are not available. Please bring your own laptop PC for presentation. No other presentation devices such as overhead projector (OHP) will be available.

Internet Connection

The room should have wireless Internet connection but we cannot guarantee continuous accessibility, speed, or quality. Please plan your presentation accordingly.

Poster Presentation and Madness Session

Poster Booth

Each poster presentation will be provided with a poster board of size H210cm x W180cm (7ft x 6ft), with a table in front. There will be no gap between the neighboring boards and the height of the table will be 70cm, and so the actual maximum size of the poster is H130cm x W170cm. Electrical outlets will be available on the table (100V Type A (US 2 pin)). Transformers will not be provided.

Booth Assignment

Each poster presentation will be assigned to a particular booth. Put up your poster on the board that gives your poster number.

Poster Set-up

Put up your poster before the end of the preceding oral session, and remove it as soon as the poster session is over. Adhesive tapes will be provided for the posters. Unclaimed posters will be recycled.

Poster Madness Session

The first ten minutes of each poster session will be devoted to a Madness Session, in which the presenters of that poster session will each give a 30-second overview with a one-page PDF slide. The presenters are required to wait in line (in presentation order) along the left side wall of the oral session room, 5 minutes before the madness session begins. The 30-second limit is firm -- when the time is up, the slide will be changed to the next presentation and you will be asked to leave the stage.

Submission of Madness slide

Please upload your Madness Session presentation PDF file (one page) no later than Friday, October 9 (Fri) 20:00 (JST). To upload, visit the URL written in the e-mail sent to the presenters. The PDF file will be checked and if any problems should arise, you'll be notified by email.

Late-breaking / Demo Session

For the ISMIR 2009 Late-Breaking / Demo Session, you will be provided with a poster board of H210cm x W150cm in dimension and with a table in front of the poster board. There will be no gap between the neighboring boards and the height of the table will be 70cm, and so the actual maximum size of the poster will be H130cm x W140cm. Please note that, due to a large number of Late-Breaking / Demo submissions, this maximum size is narrower than the maximum size for the poster session. The poster board will be marked with your Late-Breaking / Demo number and scotch tapes will be provided for hanging posters. Also, a number of electrical outlets will be available to be shared among the presenters. You may set up your presentation in the morning of Friday, October 30th. Please be sure to remove your poster by the Concluding Remarks session on that day. Unclaimed posters will be recycled.

There will be no gap between the neighboring boards and the height of the table will be 70cm, and so the actual maximum size of the poster will be H130cm x W115cm (A0 landscape is okay). Please note that, due to a large number of MIREX poster presentations, this maximum size is much narrower than the maximum size for the above poster/demo sessions. A limited number of electrical outlets will be available to be shared among the presenters. You may set up your presentation after the regular poster session PS3 on Wednesday, October 28th. Please be sure to remove your poster as soon as the session is over. Unclaimed posters will be recycled.
