Delegates using PowerPoint/software to present must bring their presentations on a USB
stick please. Delegates who wish for their presentations/papers to be made available at the
conference should bring hard copies (usually 20-30 for parallel sessions) and should make
sure a copy is taken by the session chair to be uploaded to the ALT website after he
conference (please note each session chair will also write a synopsis of the session for the
website). Other than for delegates entering the Stan Marsh best paper prize, there is no
expectation that papers are submitted to the Association in full, or in advance.
For delegates attending their first conference, please note dress is casual during the day and
smart casual for the dinners, but do feel free to dress up in your Glad rags if it makes you
happy!
