INSTRUCTIONS FOR ORAL PREPARATIONS


All oral presentations are of 15 minutes duration – 12 minutes for presentation and 3 minutes for discussion and questions.

When preparing your presentation please ensure that you do not exceed this time limit.


Data presentation:

If using a Powerpoint (or any other computer) presentation, please note you need to provide the presentation on a CD, DVD or memory stick (using the USB port in the computer) and load it onto one of the Congress’ computers in the Speaker Ready Room, at least 1 hour before the start of your session. You may bring your own computer as back up, but please check it with the technician in the session hall where your lecture will take place during the break prior to your session.

Please note that the Congress’ computers in the session halls are supplied with Office 2010 (at least) and the native projection ratio of the screens in the Halls will be 4:3.

If combining video film with PowerPoint, first check your presentation in the Speaker Ready Room, and thereafter please check your presentation in the session hall where your lecture will take place, at least 30 minutes before the start of your session, during the coffee or lunch break prior to your session - even after checking it in the Speakers Ready Room.

Please note that VHS video projection, 35 mm slide projection and overhead projection will not be available.

 

Important note for Macintosh users
In order to use MAC presentations on a PC compatible computer please note that you need to prepare it according to the instructions below, before bringing it to the Speakers Ready Room:

1. Use a common font, such as Arial, Times New Roman, Verdana etc. (special fonts might be changed to a default font on a PowerPoint based PC).

2. Insert pictures as JPG files (and not TIF, PNG or PICT - these images will not be visible on a PowerPoint based PC ).

Alternatively you may use your own Macintosh laptop computer. Please confirm you provide it with a VGA adaptor for external signal, advise the operators in the Speakers Ready Room about it as soon as you arrive and later on test it in the session hall where your lecture is taking place during the coffee or lunch break prior to your session, at least 30 minutes before the start of the session.
