Presenters are expected to stay for the whole conference and exchange ideas of their work also outside their own sessions. We strongly suggest you to participate not only scientific sessions but also social events to help us create a wide network of media and information literacy experts.
General Instructions
There will be parallel sessions during the conference. The Paper, Best Practices, PechaKucha, and Doctoral Forum presentations and Workshops will take place in the conference rooms (Aurora, Merikoski, Nukuttaja-Näyhä, Rossi and Linna). Please see venue plan for the location of rooms in the Conference Programme. Poster Session will take place in room Ståhlberg. Please see the Conference Programme for the date and time of your presentation.
Conference language is English. Please, bear in mind that the majority of the participants will not be native English speakers. Therefore, pronounce clearly and speak slowly.
The best presentations are supported through well-chosen visual material and clear captions. We like to encourage you to use visual material that clearly illustrates the argument and that can be shown in high quality.
Powerpoint presentations should be sent to organizers in advance, by September 21. Speakers should arrive at the designated room 10 minutes prior to the start of the session and introduce themselves to the chairperson.

The time limit for your presentation is 20 minutes, and 5 minutes for discussion. The session chairs will be given clear instructions not to allow speakers to overrun their time. Unless the session chair decides otherwise, discussions take place after each presentation.
