Speaker Guidelines
Presenting an Oral at GHS2026?
Each panel is comprised of three (3) speakers and a moderator only.
As each panel is 50 minutes duration, each speaker will have approximately 8-10 minutes to present their paper. We ask that you respect this timeframe, so that there is sufficient time for questions and answers/audience engagement.
An additional 10 minutes has been built into the conference programme to allow for any final remarks or conversations, and to provide people with sufficient time to get to the next session.
We will be sourcing the moderator for your panel and introduce your moderator and fellow panellists via email approximately 1-2 weeks from the start of the conference on Tuesday 9 June 2026. If you have a preferred moderator who is already attending the conference, please email us by May 11th. The moderator may then discuss further specifics with you and your fellow panellists, including the order of presentations, key observations, etc.
Although A/V equipment will be available, we find the best conversations happen without slides — so we encourage presenters to speak freely and engage directly with attendees. This is based on consistent feedback from conference delegates attending GHS2019, GHS2022 & GHS2024. We ask that slides be used only where essential for presenting data, and limited to no more than three per presenter.
If you do need to use visual presentation software, please notify your moderator so this can be taken into consideration in planning the order of presentations. Anyone providing slides will need to arrive 10 minutes before their session to allow time for our AV team to set up. Please use a USB stick and ensure it has been virus-checked with antivirus software prior to use.
Presenting a Poster at GHS2026?
The poster presentations are an important and integral element of the GHS2026 conference programme.
To ensure your poster is given due prominence, the poster boards will be located in the Banquet Hall.
Your poster will be displayed for one (1) full day of the conference, on either the Tuesday (9 June), Wednesday (10 June) or Thursday (11 June).
Posters can be displayed from 0730hrs (7.30am) until 1800hrs (6pm) on the day of your presentation.
Please ensure that you remove your poster at the end of the business day. Posters that have not been collected by 6pm will be removed to allow for new posters to be added. They will then be stored until 12pm the following day. If they have not been collected by 12pm the following day, they will be discarded.
We encourage you to stand close by your poster during coffee and meal breaks on the day of your presentation so that you can answer any questions.
To encourage more engagement, you are also invited to record a short video discussing your poster. These presentations will be made available via the GHS2026 conference app so that delegates can hear about your work both during and after the conference has ended.
Please ensure your video does not exceed five (5) minutes length.
Once you have recorded your video, please upload it to this folder:
Please make sure when uploading into the Dropbox that you name the file with your full name and poster number (your poster number can be found above). For example:
First Name_Last Name_Poster1
We will then covert the file into a format that can be supported by the conference app.
ALL videos must be submitted no later than 25th May 2026 11.59pm AEST. Any late submissions will not be accepted.
Poster Requirements
All posters must be printed on A0 sized paper or card (33.11×46.81 inches or 841×1189 millimetres).
Please ensure that you use a minimum of 16-point font for text, as font smaller than this size will prove too difficult to read once the poster is printed.
Your poster must be designed in portrait or vertical orientation only. Please do not design your poster in landscape or a horizontal orientation as the poster boards will not be able to accommodate.
We encourage you to use a range of colours, images and fonts to make your poster as eye-catching as possible.
Velcro dots will be available at the registration desk for poster presenters to use.
