    All speakers are required to upload their talk slides in PDF or PPTX format to the INDICO conference server by 18:00 the day before their scheduled presentation. It is the responsibility of the speakers to stop by the Speakers Office to ensure their presentation is displayed correctly. If you have any issues uploading your talk, or displaying the slides our Office staff will be happy to assist in resolving any technical issues.

    The Speakers Office is located in the New Orleans room in the main meeting area, and will be open on Sunday from 16:00 to 19:00 with the conference check-in, and will remain open during the conference hours for the rest of the week.
