Instructions for presenters

Speakers in talk sessions and symposia

All talk session and symposia talks are 15 minutes long, unless agreed otherwise. We recommend keeping your talk to 12 minutes and leaving 3 minutes for questions.

All talks will take place in the Maki forum. The Maki forum is equipped with a central Windows computer for MS PowerPoint and PDF presentations. Please make sure to transfer your presentation files to the computer in the Maki forum at least 15 minutes before the start of your session using a USB memory stick. Ask the technical assistants in the lecture rooms for help: they will be present 15 minutes before each session and during the session. You can upload your presentation files at any time from the beginning of the conference. If you are using PowerPoint, we recommend to use standard fonts to minimise the risk of layout distortion, and embed any videos or sounds into the PowerPoint to avoid loss of these files when copying your presentation. After upload, please make sure that sounds/videos/animations run properly.

If your presentation includes special features that require you to use your own laptop, you can use your own laptop. In this case, please bring the corresponding adapter for HDMI (and ideally bring a backup pdf of your presentation on USB). Please don't forget to try out your presentation at least 15 minutes before the start of your session or earlier.

Posters

Please prepare your poster in DIN A0 format (841 × 1189 mm). Please use the portrait format, not the landscape format, otherwise the posters will not fit properly on the poster boards. Please use the materials provided to place the poster on the board. Due to limited space, posters will be presented only during poster sessions and not throughout the day.

Poster session 1 (Thursday 21.8) will take place in the Maki forum. Please ask a team member to access the storage room during receptions and registration (12:00-13:00), locate your code and place your poster on the correct poster board. The team will then roll out the poster boards into the Maki forum in time for the poster session. Please remove your poster from the board at the end of the poster session.

Poster sessions 2 and 3 (Friday 22.8, Saturday 23.8) will take place in the foyer. Poster boards will be placed in the foyer in the morning. Please locate your code and place your poster on the correct poster board before the poster session starts at 10:15. Please remove your poster from the board at the end of the poster session.
