GUIDELINES FOR PREPARING ORAL AND POSTER PRESENTATIONS

 

Oral Communications

You can find more information about the programme and timetable HERE.  Please note that although all presentations have 15 minutes in the programme, the presentation time is 10 minutes, Q&A is 3 minutes and 2 minutes is buffer time for going on and off the stage.

PRESENTATION

We have prepared a Dropbox folder to collect the presentations, which can be found HERE. This way, the technician has time to check your slides before the symposium.  The uploading system is active until October 3, 22 PM (EEST).

If you cannot upload your presentation by the deadline, please bring your slides to the venue on a USB drive. Please hand the file to the technician (their desk is at the back of the hall) or volunteer at least 2 breaks before your presentation’s session starts. During the breaks, you can also check your slides in the presentation room.

Please use PPTX as the format and use slides in 16:9 format.

You will have a choice between a podium microphone and a head microphone. Please inform the technician during the break before your presentation if you would like to use a head microphone.

A volunteer and technician will be in the room to help at all times.

 

Poster presentations

You can find more information about the programme and timetable HERE. 

At the venue, please follow the room plan to see where you can find the spot to hang your poster. The poster session will be held in three parts. Please see the time allocated to your poster HERE. 

• Posters must be written in English and printed in portrait format in A0 size.
• During the poster walk session, the presenting author must stand close to the poster to present the poster. Each presenter will have a maximum of 3 minutes to present, followed by 2 minutes for Q&A.
• Posters will be mounted using double-sided removable adhesive tape meant for posters, provided by the organiser. 
  -> Please do not print your poster on vinyl or too heavy paper. 
  -> Please do not put posters up using your own tape, it may damage the poster stands/glass. 
• Poster cases can be stored if the case is properly labelled. You can hand the poster case to the staff at the registration desk and then ask for it there when you would like to get it back. 
• Please mount your poster when you arrive at the venue and have received your badge. Please leave it up for as long as possible.
