SAICon provides an international platform for researchers, academicians, practitioners, and students to present their research physically at the conference venue through oral presentation sessions. Participants will have the opportunity to interact directly with scholars, industry experts, and conference attendees from different countries. All accepted presenters will receive the conference abstract/proceeding book and certificate of presentation. Oral presentation sessions will be scheduled throughout the conference according to the finalised conference programme.

Guidelines for Oral Presentation

• Presentation slides should be prepared in Microsoft PowerPoint format.
• Recommended presentation duration:
  • Oral Presentation: 12–15 minutes
• Presentation language must be ENGLISH only.
• Presenters are encouraged to arrive at their assigned session room at least 15 minutes before the session starts.
• Basic presentation equipment, including an LCD projector and audio system, will be provided at the venue.
• Authors are requested to submit their final presentation slides to the conference secretariat before the specified deadline.

SAICon provides researchers with an excellent opportunity to showcase their research findings through Physical Poster Presentation sessions during the conference. Poster sessions are designed to encourage academic discussion, networking, and direct interaction among participants.

Preparation of Poster

The poster should present a clear visual summary of the submitted research and must meet the following criteria:

Title of the Poster

• It is recommended to keep the poster title the same as the submitted abstract.
• Minor modifications that do not change the overall idea of the research are acceptable.

Poster Size and Format

• The posters have to be in portrait (upright) format and should not exceed the following dimensions: 85 cm width, 119 cm height.
• Posters must be printed by the presenter before arrival at the conference venue.
• Please fix your poster on the poster panel marked with your paper ID number. Presenters are highly appreciated for bringing materials to fix the poster.

Author Information

The top section of the poster should clearly display:

• Title of the Paper
• Name(s) of Author(s)
• Affiliation(s)
• Country

Lettering and Design

• Figures, graphs, and tables should be clear and readable from a short distance.

Content of the Poster

• Main sections such as Introduction, Objectives, Methodology, Results, Discussion, and Conclusion should be clearly visible.
• Keep the content concise and visually appealing.
• Use bullet points instead of lengthy paragraphs where possible.
• Avoid excessive text and unnecessary decorative elements.
• The poster should communicate the key findings and significance of the study effectively.

Poster Presentation Session

• In addition to the poster presentation, each poster session will start with a short oral presentation, which has the goal of informing the audience about the topic of your poster and to motivate to visit you during the subsequent poster session. Each author will be strictly limited to 2 minutes presentation time. After this time, the presentation will be stopped.
• Poster presenters will receive a certificate of presentation and inclusion in the conference proceedings/abstract book.

SAICon also offers an Online Virtual Presentation option for participants who wish to present remotely in real-time without physical attendance at the conference venue. Virtual presenters will deliver their presentations live through the designated online platform during the scheduled conference sessions. This format enables international participation and global academic interaction.

• Presentations will be conducted live using the official online conference platform (such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Google Meet).
• Presentation duration:
  • Oral Presentation: 12–15 minutes
• Presentation slides should be prepared in PowerPoint or PDF format.
• Presenters are advised to ensure a stable internet connection, proper audio, and camera functionality before the session.
• Virtual presenters are requested to join the session at least 15 minutes before the scheduled presentation time.
• Live Q&A sessions will follow each presentation.

All virtual presenters will receive a certificate of presentation and inclusion in the conference abstract/proceeding book.
