General Information

Presentation time: specific to each session. Kindly check your invitation email.
Power Point format: 16:9
Template: we encourage using the file available for download above.
File naming: All Power Points should be saved and renamed as such: <Session Date>_<Reference Number>_<Last Name>_<Presentation Title>. Example “10.22_T01.01_Smith_Test Title Slide”.
Disclosure slide: your second slide should be a disclosure slide. This is optional.

Your presentation must be prepared in PowerPoint2000 or later PowerPoint Version (MS Windows) and provided on a USB-removable drive.
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.
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.

There won’t be a Speaker Ready Room on site, please submit your slides to the AV technician onsite in the main session room the day before your presentation or at least 1 hour prior to your scheduled session.
If you have an Apple device, please make sure to bring an adaptor.
Audio Visual Technicians will be available in the room to assist you uploading your session slides.
