Oral / Video Presentations
The overall time slot for each presentation is 15 minutes. Plan your speech or VTR for a duration of 10 minutes to allow time for questions and discussion. Session chairs have been instructed to rigorously enforce the schedule, i.e., to strictly respect the duration of a presentation. We kindly ask for your understanding and cooperation innkeeping the session schedule.
Be at the room of your session 15 minutes before the session (NOT 15 minutes before your presentation) starts so that you can meet your session chairs and the other speakers in advance.
A video projector and a windows PC will be available in each conference room. Speakers are not allowed to use their own computers, avoiding useless time breaks between presentations.
Please bring your presentation on a USB memory stick in MS-Power Point formats and upload it in the Session Room no later than 15 minutes before the session starts! You can of course bring it earlier, during the breaks.
To avoid any problems with your presentation, please make sure it fulfills the instructions below.
Power Point Instructions
If preparing your presentation in MS-PowerPoint, please use the following versions only: Power Point 97-2003(*.ppt) or 2007, 2010, 2013, to guarantee that it will work successfully on the on-site PC.
We recommend you save your Power Point presentation using PPT format instead of PPS.
Pictures/Videos
JPG images are the preferred file format for inserted images.
GIF, TIF, or BMP formats will be accepted as well.
Images inserted into MS-PowerPoint are embedded into the presentations. Images created with a dpi setting higher than 200 dpi are redundant and will only increase the file size of your presentation.
We cannot provide support for videos embedded in your presentation; please test your presentation with the on-site PC several hours before your session starts. Generally, the WMV format should work with no difficulties.
In the case of Full HD videos, please let us know well in advance of your session.
Please note that sound is not available in most of the rooms.
Videos that require additional reading or projection equipment (e.g., VHS cassettes) will not be accepted.
Fonts
Only fonts that are included in the basic installation of MS-Windows will be available (English version of Windows). Use of other fonts not included in Windows can cause a wrong layout/style of your presentation.
Suggested fonts: Arial, Times New Roman.
