Before the session 

  • When? Upload your presentation at least 2 hours before your talk, or even better, on the day before, if possible
  • Your presentation(s) will be uploaded into a specific file marked with your session room number; you do this with assistance of the technician in the speaker room. Your presentation will then be available on the computer in your session room in this specific file when you go there to give your talk.
  • All lecture rooms are set up with chairs in rows facing a stage area (theater style)
  • Microphones will be provided in those rooms that have a capacity of more than 70 participants.
  • If you are having more than one presentation during the congress, you may upload all your presentations at the same time and they will be sent to the corresponding session rooms at the time of your sessions.

During the session 

  • When? Arrive 10 minutes before the session begins and confirm your presence to the chairperson and the room attendant of the session.
  • Setup? A computer will be provided. By using the computer mouse, choose your presentation and click on it. In case the presentation of the previous speaker is still on the screen, click on the Escape (Esc) button on the keyboard to close it and then open your own presentation.
  • The use of private laptops/computers on stage is not permitted.
  • Procedure? Please keep the time that has been allocated for your talk! The chairperson will describe the method he or she will use to alert you in case you exceed the time limit of your presentation. The congress has a very tight schedule.
  • Calculate 5 minutes for Q&A within your dedicated time of talk. If you finish your talk early enough, the chairperson will ask the audience for questions.
  • These guidelines should also be seen as a help to improve the effectiveness of the upload of presentation in the speaker room and, therefore, will result in higher comfort for speakers.
