Guidelines for oral and poster presentations
Oral presentations
Please follow the guidelines below when preparing your oral presentation.
- You should use the same title submitted with your abstract.
- Provide appropriate context to ensure an international audience can follow your paper content.
- You should provide content that clearly addresses the theme of the session in which you are participating.
- You must allow time for questions within your assigned time slot so please take note of papers duration below.
- You should provide 1-2 key take home messages on the final slide.
- The language of the congress is English.
Duration of oral presentation
Each 90 minute session will include up to 5 paper presentations. Each presentation should be no longer than 14-15 minutes to ensure that there is sufficient time for Q&A. Please be mindful of time when preparing your paper as session Chairs will stick rigorously to time.
Preparation of oral presentation
- We strongly recommend that slides are prepared in PowerPoint. Other software packages are acceptable as long as the presentation is in PDF and complies with the widescreen (16:9) format.
- There is no requirement to submit your presentation ahead of time. All presentations must be brought to the symposium venue on a USB-key.
- Presenters may not use their own laptops for presenting – however you may bring a tablet / iPad onstage with you and read from it if needed.
Scientific posters
Please follow the guidelines below when preparing your oral presentation.
- Include an abstract on your poster to ensure viewers can follow it.
- Provide appropriate context to ensure an international audience can follow your paper content.
- Demonstrate how your poster clearly addresses the congress or session themes.
Display of your poster
