First of all accept our very sincere thanks for your
readiness to deliver a presentation during the next WSTS Committee Meeting. Check your assignment
at the WSTS web site (log-in is required).
Please read the following instructions attentively. It will take
less than 5 minutes. Your compliance will save us a lot of troubles.
The distribution of your presentation will be strictly
limited to participants of the WSTS Committee Meeting. When preparing and
delivering your presentation I ask you to observe certain rules as outlined
below.
1. CD Media and Delivery to
the Audience
All meeting presentations will be arranged on a CD. Each
participant will get this CD at the beginning of the meeting.
The same CD will be used to feed the data projector during
presentations. You
will be able to remotely control the progression of your presentation slides. We
will have microphone and loudspeakers in the conference room. Keep a distance of
approximately 25cm to the microphone. This will assure optimum audibility of
your speech.
The format
for all presentations should be Microsoft PowerPoint. Any version can be accepted for submission,
but presentations generated on PowerPoint 2007 should be saved in
backwards-compatible Office 2003 format. We
cannot handle presentations in .pptx format. The presentations on the CD will uniformly be converted to MS
PowerPoint version 11.0 otherwise known as “Office 2003”.
2. Deadline
We need to have your completed presentation before 27
October 2008 12:00 UTC.
For US based presenters this means 4 to 7 hours earlier depending on time zone.
Presenters who prepare their presentations on PCs with other than western
character set are requested to submit their presentations a couple of days earlier.
There is usually some manual post-editing required since not all special
characters in Japanese,
Korean or Chinese character sets translate well into their western counterparts. The deadline for regional
macro economy presentations is the 22 October 2008 12:00 UTC.
Earlier submission of presentations will be of great help and will
relieve the time pressure during the production of the CD.
We ask you to observe the deadline by all means. The
CD production must start in the morning (European time) of 28 October 2008 and all
presentations must be mounted on the CD master well before that time. Late
deliveries cannot be included in the CD. This would be a pity, since
participants to the forecast meeting would receive no handouts of your
presentation.
After you sent your presentation by email you may verify
that your presentation was well received by viewing the List of Active
Participants (log-in is required). Your name will appear with green
background after your presentation was received, checked and verified. We will
not issue any specific other confirmation of receipt.
3. Some Rules for Preparing
Presentations
Regarding the contents of your presentation you have total
freedom and personal responsibility of authorship. Please strictly observe the WSTS Antitrust Guidelines and avoid any elements in your presentation that may be in
conflict with these.
Presenters will have to submit their presentation without having seen the
premeeting forecast,
as the Blue Book with the third quarter data will only become available a couple
of days before we all travel to Kyoto. This would mean, that your
presentation cannot contain any references to the latest forecast. Instead you
may enhance your presentation with following elements:
-
Competitive environment (who are the suppliers of
this product, who of them are WSTS members, what percentage of the total
market is represented by WSTS members)
-
Which factors influence the market of this product
most (macro economy, driving applications, supply/demand issues, innovation,
technology shift ...)
-
If the market development of this product is
correlated with other products, name them and point out what should be
observed when developing the forecast of these correlated products.
-
How good were past forecasts and what influences
caused variances to occur?
There is plenty of capacity on a CD ROM for all
presentations, but transmission of presentations by email as well as subsequent
reproduction of CDs can be accelerated, if attention is paid to reasonable file
size. If you use repetitive images on all slides (e. g. logos, background
pictures) embed them in the Slide Master (View/Master/Slide Master) and not in
each single slide. Never insert images by copy and paste via the clipboard, but use
the Insert/Picture/From File… command.
In the latter case the image will be converted into a format that is compatible
with PowerPoint imaging.
By separate email email presenters will receive a
PowerPoint slide template, but
if you prefer standard presentation templates as it may be customary in your company this
is equally acceptable. The WSTS template has the right font sizes to assure
visibility in the back rows of the conference room. If you use other layouts
you should observe a minimum
font size of 18 pt. Also
charts and tables should not use any smaller font sizes. This means in practical
terms only one chart per slide!
Avoid the use of uncommon fonts, since the PC that is used for the display
of your slides may not have them installed and your slides may look totally
different from what you expected. Ariel is certainly a font that would avoid
these kind of problems and moreover has good screen legibility.
All introductory presentations to forecast sessions should
be sized for a presentation time of 15 minutes plus a question and answer time
of 5 minutes, 20 minutes total. All other presentations should observe the time
allocation as shown in the agenda; here again allowing 5 minutes for q&a.
The fully timed agenda is available on the
Meeting Web Site (log-in is required to review the agenda).
Submit all presentations in MS PowerPoint format with the file extension .ppt.
Your presentation file should not be protected to allow post-editing if so
required. Do not include
Visual Basic macros or other executable scripts in your PowerPoint
presentations. Some users’ computer configurations would not allow running
presentations with executables (due to the potential risk of virus infection).
All animation features that are integrated in PowerPoint are OK to use.
4.
Automatic Data Extraction
We use a program that extracts your presentation from your
email and puts it in the right place of the CD master. In order to accomplish
this we beseech you to observe following requirements:
§
Send all emails to kyoto.presentation@wsts.org
(clicking this email link will open a blank email). Do
not use any other WSTS email address. This special mailbox has no spam
filters, all other WSTS email addresses have spam filters and once in a while a
wanted email may get eliminated.
§
Use Presentation

§
If you need to submit a revision (before the deadline!)
please use following file naming convention (filename stands for
the specific File Name without extension according to the lookup table above):
filename.1.ppt for the first revision, filename.2.ppt for the
second revision and so on (hopefully not!)
Note: If you used the same filename as in the first submission, the more
recent file would be ignored, since the system would interpret it as double submission of the same file.
Important instructions are highlighted. Please pay particular attention to
these.
