Presentation Information

The duration of a presentation slot is 15 minutes. You will have 12 minutes for the presentation itself and 3 minutes for Q&A from the audience. Maintaining your 15-time slot is critical. Session Chairs will strictly enforce the time limits to keep on schedule.  They will stop presentations that run long.

An LCD projector & computer (Windows, MS Powerpoint & Adobe Acrobat Reader) will be available in every session room for regular presentations.

You must submit your PowerPoint presentation slides via EDAS no later than July 30, 2025. 

If you miss this deadline, or make changes to your presentation after submission, you will need to bring your presentation with you on USB and upload it directly to the presentation computer before you session begins. 

Preparation of Visuals

  • To keep the conference on schedule, presentations from personal laptops will NOT be possible. In the case large movie files are to be shown, work with conference staff to ensure they load and play correctly well before the scheduled session.
  • Presentations should be prepared for an aspect ratio of 16:9, which is the setting that shall be used for all projectors. Any presentations using 4:3 aspect ratio will still be viewable in general, but some parts may be too small for the audience to clearly see when projected in 16:9. As such, 16:9 is strongly encouraged. All projectors are HD wide screen.
  • To avoid software compatibility problems with MS Powerpoint, speakers are advised to EMBED ALL FONTS in their Powerpoint presentation or PDFs.
  • Speakers should arrive in their session room 15 minutes BEFORE the start of their session to report to the chairs. A proctor will also be available in case technical assistance is required.

 

General Considerations:

  •  Limit the number of words per visual.
  • Leave space, at least the height of a capital letter, between lines of text.
  • All fonts, including that on graphs, should be 16 point or larger.
  • Graphs and charts should have bold lines and symbols that contrast sharply with the background.
