Presentation Information

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.

Poster Presentations

Authors are responsible for bringing and printing their own posters.

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


    - A poster session will be held each day.
    - Each presenter puts his/her poster on the poster board on the morning of the corresponding day.
    - Please ignore the time given to each poster in EDAS. The core time of the poster session is 14:20-16:40.
    - After the core time, each presenter removes the poster by the end of the session.
