  • Guidelines for Oral Presentations

    Collapse all Expand all

    Oral presentations can either be done live (on-site or online) or pre-recorded and then played back live during your session. 

    For pre-recorded presentations, you or your co-author/s must register for the conference and attend the session in order to facilitate the playback of your pre-recorded presentation file in case of technical difficulties.

    Each presentation should not be more than 10 minutes in length. Since time usually goes very fast when one is presenting, it would be best to state your key points or findings at the beginning. Keep your introductory remarks very short (not more than 1 minute), and avoid reading every line on your slides.

    To ensure that you are able to make a complete presentation within the time allotment, do not prepare too many slides. If you spend one minute per slide, then the maximum number of slides for 10 minutes is 10 slides. If there is at least one slide that you need to explain a little bit, then you should have fewer than 10 slides.

    💡Tip: After you have prepared your presentation, review each slide to see how essential it is to your presentation. And then remove slides that are not necessary. Put key points first in case you run out of time. 

    • Technical Guidelines

      If you are presenting a pre-recorded video, here are the recommended video specifications:

      Resolution: 1920×1080
      Orientation: Landscape
      Frames per second: 30fps
      Format: mp4
      Bit rate: minimum of 900kbps; maximum of 2000kbps

    • File Management

      File Presentation slides and pre-recorded videos can be submitted in advance via https://url.upou.edu.ph/IFSSSubmissionForm on or before 10 September 2025. It is encouraged to use the IFSS 2025 presentation template.

      If the file size of your video is too large, kindly indicate the link to your video (via YouTube, Vimeo, etc.) in the submission form.

  • Guidelines for Poster Presentations

    Poster presentations are only applicable to registered on-site participants. There will be no online poster presentations.

    To poster presenters who will attend either online or on-site, you can submit your poster files via https://url.upou.edu.ph/IFSSSubmissionForm and we will have it printed for you for a fee.

    The maximum size of posters is A0 (1189 x 841 mm or 46.8 x 33.1 in), portrait orientation.

    Please do not print your posters on heavy paper. Choose light paper to ensure that your poster will stay in position throughout the conference.

Print shop suggestions are located in downtown Bacolod City around 15–20 minutes away from Negros Residences. Remember to bring a PDF file of your poster, just in case you need to print it again.
