*Please note that all presenting authors for accepted abstracts, including workshop and symposia, must register for the conference or their abstract will not be presented and removed from the programme.  

  • Your presentation must be prepared in PowerPoint2000 or any later PowerPoint Version (MS Windows) and submitted via the online submission system. 
  • Power Point format: 16:9 
  • File Naming: All Power Points should be saved and renamed as such: <Reference Number>_<Last Name>_<Presentation title>. Example: “SC01.01_Konoike_Test Title Slide”.
  • Prior to your session please check your presentation at the Speaker Ready Room with your USB-removable drive for back-up. If you have an Apple device, please make sure to bring an adaptor.
  • Set the slide size of the page to “On-screen show” and landscape orientation in the page set-up section. (Portrait orientation will not be displayed properly).
  • Use high-contrast lettering, and not too much text per page (max. 10 lines or 15-20 words). Make sure you use high-contrast colors for the best definition of your text. Please be aware that red letters or lines are usually not visible when displayed on a bigger screen.
  • As a general rule, you should not present more than 1 slide per minute. Visual material supports the speech and should not be the transcription of it.
  • The inclusion of a disclosure slide is mandatory even if you have no conflicts to declare.
  • Special characters: To avoid any compatibility problems, please do not use special characters (i.e. “, Ö, Ø, ñ, ?, ®, ý, }, { etc) to name your presentation or movie files.
  • To avoid font compatibility problems, use common fonts (Geneva, Times Roman, Helvetica). If you do not use the recommended fonts you should save the fonts with the presentation.
    • Do not read the slides word for word. Visual material provides cues and images to support your verbal presentation.
    • Make sure your presentation has a clear flow from introduction to conclusion. Identify key points and why they are important.
    • Include take-home points. Consider which 2-3 points you want the audience to remember after your presentation.
    • Less is more! Include relevant information on your slides, supplemented and explained by your verbal presentation.

Oral Presentations will consist of a 10-minute presentation followed by 2-minute individual Q&A. All presentations in sessions SC11 and SC13 will consist of an 8-minute presentation followed by 2-minute individual Q&A.
