Presenter’s information Speakers are requested to send their final presentation by Monday 16 January as a PDF or PowerPoint file prior to the conference by e-mail to [email protected]. Please bring a back-up copy on a CD or USB memory stick. If you are unable to send your presentation prior to the conference, please bring it with you on a CD or USB memory stick. You should save the presentation into the appropriate pre-named session folders on the desktop of the house computer and files should be saved by surname and initial. To optimise compatibility, particularly for the inclusion of multimedia components, PowerPoint presentations should have been saved using PowerPoint’s “Package for CD” facility. Direct connection of personal laptops (with set-up in the break prior to the corresponding session) is an acceptable but not preferred alternative. The meeting space is reasonably large so speakers should use a minimum 15-point font size in PowerPoint slides to ensure legibility. Presenters are asked to prepare their talks to match the allocated times which will be rigidly enforced by session chairs.

Safety information Emergency evacuation procedures All of the areas used by the conference are covered by the hotel’s fire-alarm system. Occupants are expected to leave the building as quickly and safely as possible and make their way to a fire-assembly point. The main assembly point is located directly behind the hotel in Bart’s Square. All bedrooms have instructions concerning firealarm activation and which assembly point to go to, and all participants should familiarise themselves with the safety instructions on arrival. First aid If you fall ill or injure yourself during the conference, please report the incident to the registration desk or a member of Thistle Hotel staff who will call a trained first-aider. In case of serious injury, paramedics will be called. Smoking In accordance with government legislation smoking is not permitted in any building. Behaviour and conduct The Institute of Physics and the Thistle Hotel reserves the right to charge in full for loss or damage to the hotel.

General Local taxi numbers Taxi – 01273 747474 Travelling by taxi or minicab is generally very safe, but it is important to take sensible precautions, like making sure the vehicle is licensed. Local bank and cash dispenser The cash dispenser is in hotel foyer. They will be a charge of £1.75 for use of the dispenser.
