Presentation Upload and Format

For oral - long and short - presentations, we highly recommend all presenters to prepare a visual presentation of their research.

On 17^th June 2024 each presenter will receive an e-mail with instructions for uploading their presentation slides. Presenters should upload their presentation slides no later than 28^th June 2024. Accepted file formats for uploads include PDF (recommended) or PowerPoint (.ppt or .pptx).

We do not recommend linking to external media in presentations. Should your presentation necessitate a different format or software, you may connect your own device to the conference hardware. Please note that Apple devices, including all forms of adapters, are not compatible with the conference hardware.

Chair Duties

All sessions are assigned a designated chair as listed in the program, with the final presenter typically assuming this role. The chair is tasked with the following duties:

• Preside over the session.
• Meticulously manage the session's time allocation, ensuring each presenter adheres strictly to their designated time slot to prevent any disadvantage to the final presenter. Any remaining time should be allocated to facilitate open discussion or address questions from the audience.
• Promptly notifying room staff of any issues that may arise during the session, such as lighting or noise disruptions.
• Thank all presenters and the audience for their participation in the session.

It is essential for session chairs to arrive at the session room at least 10 minutes prior to the scheduled start time. Upon arrival, chairs are expected to introduce themselves to the presenters and inspect the facilities, slides, projection equipment, etc. In the event of any issues, chairs should promptly notify the room staff or the congress desk for swift resolution.
