Instructions for Oral Presentations
Please note that the presenting authors must be registered by August 15, otherwise the presentation will be removed from the program, even if you have uploaded your presentation to the Fourwaves platform.
Time and Schedule
- Please check the detailed program showing the time and place of your session here.
- The slot for a regular oral presentation is 20 minutes, which must include time for Q&A and speaker introduction by the chair. Your speaking time should therefore not exceed 15 minutes.
Formatting Instructions
- Presentations in 16:9 .ppt, pptx. and .pdf formats will be accepted. If your presentation was created with an Apple device, please test the file on a Windows PC to make sure that it is correctly displayed.
- Avoid any external links in your presentation. The presentation computers do not have an internet connection.
- Non-standard fonts should be embedded.
- All images and graphs must be embedded without links.
- Past experience shows that video clips often cause technical difficulties. If you intend to use video clips, please double-check their validity when handing in your presentation
Media Upload
- All oral presentations should be uploaded in advance to the Fourwaves platform by September 19 at 23:59 CEST.
- After this deadline, all oral presentations must be handed in at the Media Upload Desk on site at the conference at least one hour before session start. We strongly advise that you upload your presentation in advance, to avoid queues and potential setbacks.
- You will not be able to display your presentation directly from your laptop computer or memory stick. All presentations must be uploaded to the conference system in advance.
- Please meet your session chairs inside the conference room at least 10 minutes prior to the beginning of your oral session and familiarize yourself with the technical equipment. Please upload a very short bio (2-3 sentences) to the Fourwaves platform, so the session chairs may properly introduce you.
Important: Please make sure that your presentation and memory stick do not contain computer viruses of any kind. If you hand in an infected memory stick, you will be asked to return with a virus-free memory stick.
