Send your written document (MS Word) including embedded pictures, AND your Powerpoint presentation by email to the convenor at rob.mccaffrey@propubs.com, by 21 September 2009 AT THE ABSOLUTE LATEST
Please also send a short biography
Presenters are invited to give a presentation at the Global Cement Conference Iran on the understanding that company information will be kept to a minimum: your expertise in your field should be enough of an advertisement, and interested parties will certainly seek you out.
Presenters are expected to supply a written prose version of their oral presentation, for inclusion in the conference proceedings volume. The written prose version should not exceed 3000 words in length. The written prose version may be accompanied by tables, figures, diagrams and photographs.
All material should be supplied by email to rob.mccaffrey@propubs.com. The written prose version should be supplied in the form of an MSword text document, with very high quality embedded images.
You should also include a short biography of the presenter (100 words maximum). This should include your initial training, your main work experience and your family situation/interests.
The written prose version and biography should be supplied to the convenor by 21 September 2009AT THE ABSOLUTE LATEST.
A style note - The only letters that should be in capitals in the written prose document should be proper nouns and the first letter of each sentence. For example, not 'the Cement Industry,' but 'the cement industry.' Thank you! For a useful and funny guide to the use of capitals, click here.
Presenters will have 25 minutes each to give their oral presentation, after which there will be five minutes for questions from the audience. All presentations should be given in English. All presenters will be able to use a tie-microphone and laser pointer (supplied).
All presentations should be given using Power Point software. Presenters should send a copy of their presentation on CD, which will be installed in the correct sequence on the conference laptop computer. If your presentation includes movies or animation, please remember to include them on the CD - otherwise they will not work! Your powerpoint presentation will also be burned on to the Proceedings CD that is distributed to all delegates at the conference.
The PowerPoint Presentation MUST also be supplied to the convenor by 21 September 2009AT THE ABSOLUTE LATEST.
All presenters must use a standard introductory 'slide', which will include the conference logo, the title of the presenter and the title of the presentation. This slide must also be used at the end of all presentations, while the question session is underway. Other 'slides' may take whatever form the presenters wish, but should include the conference logo in any of the four corners.

All presentations from Global Cement Conference Iran will be considered for publication in future issues of GC Magazine. Presenters are requested to refrain from granting publication rights to magazines other than GC Magazine, until after publication in GC Magazine.
The conference questionnaire will include a section allowing delegates to vote for their favourite presentations at Global Cement Conference Iran. A small prize will be awarded to the presenter of the 'best' presentation, at the informal reception at the end of the conference.
Global Cement Conference Iran will be hard work, but will be rewarding and will also be a lot of fun. The convenors of the conference would like to thank all presenters for their hard work.
