Speakers should arrive in their session room 15 minutes BEFORE the start of their session to report to the chairs.

A presentation slot is 20 minutes long. You will have 15 minutes for the presentation itself and 5 minutes for Q&A from the audience.

Maintaining your 20-minute slot is critical.

Preparation of Visuals:

• Presentation slides must be prepared in the form of Microsoft PowerPoint® computer files only (pdf also accepted). The version of PowerPoint® used will be PowerPoint® 2019, PC version. In general, use the pptx format (compatible with PowerPoint 2007/2010/2013/2016) for the submission of your presentation.
• Size: choose 16:9 landscape format
• Avoid uncommon fonts
• Limit the size of video, image and sound files to 1 GB

MAC Compatibility:

On Mac OSX, using PowerPoint® 2019 and the pptx file format ensures you have better compatibility.

Presentations made in PowerPoint® MAC version are compatible with the following conditions:

• Your images must be in jpeg, png format (and not in pict)
• Beware of Mac OSX-specific fonts. Prefer Windows-compatible fonts (Arial, Calibri, Times New Roman, Symbol, …)
