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 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 16 October 2009 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. 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. 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
Taipei. 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
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. Arial 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 taipei.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 as subject (is automatically inserted when
you use the above email link)
§ Name the
attached PowerPoint file exactly as specified in the reference table
below:

§ 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.
