Information for Presenters
To ensure the smooth running of the conference and to maximize accessibility for all participants, please take note of the following guidelines:
Slide Upload – Required in Advance
Each session room will be equipped with a shared presentation laptop. All speakers are required to upload their presentation slides to the conference Indico page at least one day before their scheduled talk. You may upload revised versions later if needed, but earlier uploads are strongly encouraged to ensure technical readiness.
Speaker Presentation Guidelines
The presentation laptops support both PDF (preferred) and PowerPoint files. Plenary speakers are welcome to test their presentations on the designated computer the day before their talk during the first coffee break.
For speakers presenting on Monday, this can be done either during registration or during the first coffee break.
Talk and Slide Preparation
Presentation times are structured as follows:
-
20-minute talk: 17 minutes presentation + 3 minutes Q&A
-
25-minute talk: 22 minutes presentation + 3 minutes Q&A
-
30-minute talk: 25 minutes presentation + 5 minutes Q&A
Please prepare your slides in a 16:9 aspect ratio, which is standard across all conference rooms.
Thank you for your cooperation and for helping to ensure a smooth and inclusive conference experience.
Information for Session Chairs and Assistants
Each session will be supported by at least two assistants, including one local student and one early-career researcher (ECR) participant. These helpers will:
-
Before the session begins, please ensure all presentation slides are downloaded and ready on the shared laptop.
-
Manage timekeeping using clear cue cards marked “5 mins”, “3 mins”, and “0 mins”.
-
Carry handheld microphones during the Q&A period to facilitate smooth audience interaction.
We greatly appreciate your support in maintaining the schedule and fostering a productive discussion environment.
