Presentation Information
The duration of a presentation is determined by the presentation type:
Preparation of Visuals
- To keep the conference on schedule, presentations from personal laptops will NOT be possible. If large movie files are to be shown, please work with the 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.
- Presentations must be uploaded on the day before the scheduled session at the latest.
- To avoid software compatibility problems with MS Powerpoint, speakers are advised to EMBED ALL FONTS in their Powerpoint presentation.
- Speakers should arrive in their session room 10 minutes BEFORE the start of their session to report to the chairs. A technician 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.
Changes to your Presentation
Should you make any changes to your presentation after submission, you will need to bring your presentation on a USB stick and arrive at your session room 10 minutes prior to your session to upload your presentation on the presentation laptop. To avoid software compatibility problems, speakers are advised to put .ppt, .pptx and .pdf versions of their presentation on the USB stick.
Poster Presentations
Posters may be hung before the scheduled poster session and remain for viewing throughout the day in which you will present.
The size of the poster panel that is available to each presenter is: 84 cm wide x 119 cm high (33-inch-wide x 46-inch high) Format for printing: Portrait, A0 format.
An LCD projector & computer (Windows, MS Powerpoint & Adobe Acrobat Reader) will be available in every session room for regular presentations.
You are very welcome to submit your PowerPoint or pdf presentation slides in advance via EDAS, no later than May 29, 2026. If you have any issues doing so, please contact the conference manager.
