The duration of a presentation slot is 15 minutes. You will have 12 minutes for the presentation itself and 3 minutes for questions from the audience.

A LCD projector & computer (Windows 7, MS Powerpoint & Adobe Acrobat Reader) will be available in every session room for regular presentations.

Preparation of Visuals:

• PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU MUST BRING A MEMORY STICK CONTAINING YOUR PRESENTATION FILE.
• Files can be uploaded to the local PCs in the lecture rooms before the start of sessions, the tea breaks or at lunch.
• To avoid software compatibility problems (MS Powerpoint), speakers are advised to EMBED ALL FONTS in your Powerpoint file AND bring a backup PDF-version of your presentation.
• Speakers should arrive in their session room 15 minutes BEFORE the start of your session to report to the session chair. 
• Duration to complete your presentation is strictly 15 min (12 min for presentation and 3 min for Q&A)
• You will not be allowed to use your OWN laptop for presentation. Only the session PC will be used. Your presentation will be removed if you insist on using your own for whatsoever reason.

General Considerations:

• Limit the number of words per visual to no more than 20.
• Leave space, at least the height of a capital letter, between lines of text.
• All fonts, including that on graphs, should be 18 point or larger.
• Graphs and charts should have bold lines and symbols that contrast sharply with the background.
