First of all
accept our very sincere thanks for your readiness to deliver a
presentation during the next WSTS Committee Meeting.
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 we ask
you to observe certain rules as outlined below.
1. Delivery to the Audience
All meeting presentations
will be provided for download on the meeting website.
The format for all
presentations should be Microsoft PowerPoint, saved in a backwards-compatible format to
Office 2003. The presentations on the website 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 18 May
2010 12:00 UTC. 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.
We ask you to observe
the deadline by all means.
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 content 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.
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?
Transmission of
presentations by email 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
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 16 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. Arial is certainly a font that would avoid these kinds 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.

§ 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.
