Oral presentations guidelines

Speakers are kindly requested to go to the slide center preferably the day before their presentation, or in the morning if their session is scheduled for the afternoon. This will help avoid creating queues and ensure that those speaking earlier are given priority.

The duration of a presentation slot is 18 minutes. You will have 15 minutes for the presentation itself and 3 minutes for Q&A from the audience. Since lecture sessions are slated for five presentations totaling 90 minutes, maintaining your 18-time slot is critical.

  • Your presentation needs to be created in .PDF or in .PPTX
  • Please use the slide set-up for the on-screen show – 16:9 aspect
  • Use standard Windows fonts only, avoid use of non-standard Windows fonts or language-specific fonts.
  • Images: Do not copy and paste the images from another application, please use the “insert image from a file” functionality from PowerPoint (format JPG or PNG).
  • Video: MP4 or AVI are the only acceptable video formats. To avoid any issues with movies and loops with PowerPoint, presentations should be saved as .pptx files and submitted directly at the venue.
  • Presentations will be displayed from a PC with Windows 10/11 and PowerPoint
  • Apple: Please give your filename an extension “pptx” or “pdf”
  • Check your presentation on a Windows-operated computer before you upload
  • All presentations must be delivered to the onsite Slide Center via USB.
     

Poster guidelines

There will be a large number of posters presented during the conference. It is essential that posters be put the morning of the session and removed immediately after it has ended. 

 

  • Poster dimensions should not exceed 120 × 90 cm (height x width)

Generally, posters are prepared as one, large sheet and usually brought to the conference rolled up in a tube.

Push pins will be supplied for you to secure your poster to the partition.
