Oral Presentations
The duration of a presentation slot is 20 minutes. You will have 15 minutes for the presentation itself and 5 minutes for Q&A from the audience.
Preparation of Visuals:
- Please bring your presentation on a USB stick and upload your presentation prior to the session start time.
- 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.
- To avoid software compatibility problems with MS Powerpoint, speakers are advised to EMBED ALL FONTS in their Powerpoint presentation AND provide a backup PDF version.
- 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.
