for distribution at your session to other participants (this is optional).

organisers, we will be unable to email you an evaluation report for your paper.
Each author will have about 15 minutes for presentation and 5 minutes for questions
and discussion. We suggest you to spend less time (not more than 5 minutes) on
introduction and literature review sections of your paper. Please focus and spend
more time (the remaining 10 minutes) on your model, data, result analysis/findings
and significance or implication of your research.
Every room has LCD and laptop computer and please bring your pen-drive or
USB stick for power-point presentation. However, we do not guarantee that
they will work without any failure. Please do not embarrass us by asking for
pen-drive as we do not prove this.
In the past, we have faced issues where authors have put their USB in their
unaccompanied luggage which did not arrive with them or they have emailed the
presentation to themselves. We highly recommend that you carry your USB with
you at all times and not put it with your unaccompanied luggage and that you also do
not just email the presentation to yourself. You should save your presentation on a
USB stick as well.
***Please ensure that you save your presentation file both in 2003 and
2007/2010 versions incase the computers do not support the latest version. If
you have only a 2007 version and the hotel provides only 2003 office software, we will
not take any responsibility for converting your presentation from 2007 to 2003.

Break-foods and Tea/coffee during all breaks will be served at the Elements Lounge

required to send us your revised full paper (after compliance to the PER and ERR
and editorial observations, comments, if any, you received at the conference) within 2
