Guidelines for presentations

·         Oral Presentation – The allocated time for oral presentations will be 15 minutes in total. This includes time for the presenter to be introduced, present his/her contribution, answer a number of questions, and do any wrap-up. Therefore, presenters should plan their actual presentation for no more than 12 minutes. There is a tight schedule and it is important that each presenter stay within the time limit. Presenters will have access to a laptop with LCD projector. Please, bring your presentation to the meeting on a flash drive or CD to load on the in-room laptops. You will not be able to use your own laptop for your presentation. You can load your presentation on one of the conference laptops before the first session, or during the breaks preceding your presentation. A support staff member will be in each room to assist with the loading.

·         Poster Presentation – For each poster, individual freestanding display boards will be allocated. The poster board usable space is 1.2 x 1.2 m. The preferred poster format is in landscape mode (i.e. width larger than height). It is advisable to hang the posters sometime before 9:00 a.m. the day of the respective session if possible. Posters will need to be taken down by the end of the day of each session. Presenters are kindly requested to be at the Poster Hall next to their posters during the Poster Sessions at the end of each day (see the Programme for the exact timing).
