Guidelines for presenters
Oral Presentation: Each meeting room will be equipped with a PC (not MAC) and standard AV equipment. Please ensure to bring your presentation files on a USB memory stick and use the computer provided in the designated rooms. Presentation time slots are allotted for 20 minutes per presenter, with an additional 10 minutes designated for questions.
Poster Presentation: The poster session will take place on Thursday from 11.30 to 12.30 in the hallway between G.05 and G.13. Please make sure to use *portrait* orientation and size A1 or A0 for your poster. You can choose any material for the poster. Stick on tape to fix your poster to the board will be provided. Please consider incorporating a QR code that directs to a brief video within your poster, enabling the audience to promptly access the slide, attached documents, websites, videos, or links without having to wait for you to share the links on social media post-event.
NB: If you plan to bring handouts, make sure to print them before you arrive to the venue as printing services will not be available. If you find you do need to print on the day, please consider Metro Repro Ltd. – it is close by and reliable.
You could upload your presentation slides, saved as .pptx files and associated audio or media files to the designated folder by Monday, August 26th. This will help ensure the smooth running of the conference. Note that only the organisers will have access to this folder – you will not be able to access it directly. If you accidentally upload an incorrect file version, simply inform the committee.Accessibility
