Oral presentations

To streamline the process, we have created a Google Drive folder where you can upload your presentations. Please ensure your presentation file is named with your first and last name without spaces (e.g., IoannisGiovos). Try to use a standard font as the equipment used will only have the standard font files on hand. There will be an A/V technician available onsite to assist you.

• Format: PPT, PPTX or PDF with a slide aspect ratio of 16:9
• Presenters will have a maximum of 10 minutes for their presentation, which will be followed by 2 minutes for questions and 1 minutes for transition.
• Keep in mind that the session chairs will be strict about the 15-minute time limit. Please stay within your time limit to keep the program on schedule and as a sign of respect to the organisers, session chairs and other colleagues presenting their work.
