Guide for Presenters

The official language of the conference is English.

At the beginning of each poster session, a short PowerPoint presentation of the paper and the related poster will take place, where the maximum available time is 3 minutes. Otherwise, the chair will stop the presentation. The recommended content of the short presentation is no more than 3 slides (opening slide – please see template here, with name, title, affiliation, and poster number, slide with a short description of the problem and the experimental methodology and slide with main results in short form).

After these short talks, the session will continue with a discussion next to the poster board.

Posters will be displayed for the entire duration of the conference.

The poster board dimensions are:
Width: 90 cm (36 inches)
Height: 120 cm (47 inches)
Orientation: Portrait

You should bring a hard copy of your poster to the conference site. Your poster should be mounted on Thursday, 15th of May. Posters should be removed on the last day of the conference (Saturday, 17th of May).

Each poster board will have a specific number (formatted as TOPIC and Paper ID – e.g., A00). Please make sure to mount your poster on the poster board with the number corresponding to the number assigned to your poster presentation.

Oral presentations cannot exceed 20 minutes (including Q&A). The chairperson will check the time and stop any presentation that exceeds the time limit in order to respect the time limit. Please try to summarize your results in 10-15 slides.

The keynote presentation time is 30 minutes, including Q&A.

To give a presentation, you must deliver your files to the lecture room before the session starts. Presenters do not have to bring their own computer. A Windows-based laptop computer will be available in the session room. Your presentations will be accepted on a USB Flash drive. The computer will be available to upload and test presentations in the meeting room before a session starts. There will also be technical support to assist you in all technical matters.

Please note that Apple Keynote and Prezi presentations are not supported and must be converted into PPT or PDF files.

When saving your final presentation to the USB stick, do not forget to include your video files and all links to these multimedia files.
