Technical Instructions

ORAL PRESENTATIONS

If using a PowerPoint presentation (or any other PC based application), please note you need to bring it on a USB Memory stick and load it on the conference computer in the session hall where your lecture is taking place.

Please note that the conference computers in the session halls are being supplied with Office 2019 (at least) and the native ratio of the projection on the screens in the Halls is 16:9.

If combining video films with PowerPoint, please make sure to check it in the session hall where your lecture is taking place during a coffee or lunch break prior to your session, at least 30 minutes before the start of the session.

Alternatively, you may supply your own laptop computer (we prefer not to use this option). In such a case please confirm that it has a HDMI socket for external signal and come to test in the session hall where your lecture is taking place during the coffee or lunch break prior to your session, at least 30 minutes before the start of the session.


 

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR MACINTOSH USERS

In order to use MAC presentations on a PC compatible computer please note that you need to prepare it according to the instructions below, before bringing it to the technician in the hall:

  1. Convert it to PowerPoint or PDF.
     

  2. Use a common font, such as Arial, Times New Roman, Verdana etc. (special fonts might be changed to a default font on a PowerPoint based PC).
     

  3. Insert pictures as JPG files (and not TIF, PNG or PICT - these images will not be visible on a PowerPoint based PC).


Alternatively, you may use your own Macintosh laptop computer (we prefer not to use this option). In such a case please confirm you provide it with a HDMI adaptor for external signal and come to test in the session hall where your lecture is taking place during the coffee or lunch break prior to your session, at least 30 minutes before the start of the session.
