> Presentation Formats
The emphasis in ANZAME conferences is on active participation, not only by the presenters, but by all participants. Anyone who wishes to submit an abstract should note the allocation of discussion time in all types of presentations.

Small Group Presentations
Papers will be allocated 15  minutes including 10 minute presentation time to highlight the main points, followed by 5 minutes discussion.

PeArLS – Personally Arranged Learning Sessions
PeArL sessions will be allocated 30 minutes – 10 minutes to define the topic plus 20 minutes for open discussion. PeArL sessions allow an opportunity for those who are developing ideas, those who are taking ideas from development into implementation, and those who are planning evaluation of their ideas, to share discuss and gain insight into their positions by tapping into the wisdom and experience of others.

Workshops
Conference workshops will be allocated 45 minutes. Workshops are working sessions with defined objectives, such as defining the scope and nature of an education issue, developing a plan of action, solving a problem, or demonstration of educational innovations with hands-on experience.

Posters
Posters will be displayed for the duration of the conference. Each poster will be allocated a 1-metre wide x 2-metres high board and the poster must fit within this area. Presenters can nominate before the conference to present their poster in a 4-5 minute poster session held concurrently to the regular conference sessions. 


> Presenter Registration
All presenting authors must register and pay the appropriate conference fee by 1 May 2009. Speakers need to meet their own travel and accommodation costs. It will be assumed any presenter not registered by this date has withdrawn and their abstract will be removed from the program. 

> Full Paper Publication
We encouragement presenters to submit their full papers for consideration for publication in the ANZAME journal Focus on Health Professional Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal.

> Audiovisual Equipment
A data projector, computer, whiteboard and laser pointer will be available in each room. Presenters are not able to use their own laptop to run their presentation.

Presenters will need to take their PowerPoint slides to the conference on a CD-ROM or memory stick. An audiovisual technician will load your presentation.

> Accessing the Speakers Zone

When you register your presentation you will be given an Access Key. If you wish to submit a new abstract or replace an existing abstract you can do so through the Speakers Zone.
