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:

• 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.

There will be a large number of posters presented during the conference. It is essential that posters be put the morning of the session and removed immediately after it has ended. 

The size of the poster panel that is available to each presenter is:

900 mm wide x 2100 mm height

Please note: This is the total space that is available. It is likely that a poster will not occupy the entire space, yet plenty of area is possible to facilitate an easy-to-read poster. A0 size (841mm x 1189mm vertical) poster will fit in this space well
