International Conference on Accelerated Carbonation for Environmental and Material Engineering (ACEME)

The 6th edition of the Accelerated Carbonation for Environmental and Material Engineering (ACEME) Conferences builds upon the successful previous editions: London (UK) in June 2006, Rome (Italy) in October 2008, Turku (Finland) in November 2010, Leuven (Belgium) in April 2013 and New York (USA) in 2015. This is the first ACEME conference in the Asia Pacific region and we welcome delegates to Newcastle, Australia. The ACEME conferences aim at promoting research and development activities on accelerated carbonation at an international level, favoring the share of knowledge on the title subject and critically discussing future development and implementation in the field. The objectives of the sixth edition of this conference series is to communicate and discuss the latest advances in the field of theoretical and applied research on accelerated carbonation of various types of natural materials and industrial residues with a special interest in process development and commercialization. Processing conditions, product properties and (on-line) analysis at lab, pilot and full scale are the key focus themes of the conference. The conference also aims at promoting mineral carbonation in the context of carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS).

Speaker Instructions:

File Preparation:

Please prepare your presentation as a PowerPoint or PDF using a 16:9 aspect ratio.

At the conference, please bring your presentation on a USB flash drive to the projection laptop in the front of the session room. If you plan to use multimedia, such as videos, please bring the source files as well, even if you have previously embedded the files in your presentation. Personal laptops will not be connected to the projector for individual presentations.

Upload and Testing

A conference staff member can assist you with uploading your files onto the projection laptop. In most cases this process takes just a few minutes. Here you can look through your presentation and make any last-minute edits. Please submit your presentation files at your earliest convenience, but by the break before your session at the latest.

Presenting

A conference staff member will launch your presentation from projection laptop. There will be a combination wireless remote / laser pointer at the podium with which to advance your slides. Speakers should be mindful of the time allotted to them in the program. Please help us keep to the schedule.

Poster Presenters:

Poster boards are 2m high x 0.8m wide. We’ll have pins for you to attach your poster to the boards. Although we would prefer you to fit your poster on one board, if your poster is wider than one board, we can try to set up two poster boards side by side for you to attach to.

You can put your poster up at the start of the conference and leave it up for the duration of the conference. We’ve designated lunchtime to also be a general poster presentation time. The conference chairs might assign a specific time for you to present your poster (e.g., to poster judges) at the conference.
