Instructions for Speakers / Abstract Submission
INSTRUCTIONS FOR PRESENTERS
Oral presentations are 15 min. long, plus 3 min. for questions and 2 min. for changing speakers.
Presenters are kindly asked to use the computer in the room for their presentation, so please bring your presentation in a USB stick (or/and email it to yourself and download it on to the room computer), to avoid screen resolution and file format problems. Presentations should be copied to the room computer prior to the session during a coffee break or during the first or last 15 minutes of the lunch break. It is advisable to embed phonetic fonts in your presentation and also to have a pdf version of the presentation, just in case. If you plan to play sound files please test the sound when you copy your presentation in the room computer. A volunteer will be there to help you.
Posters should fit a 116 cm (height) x 85.5 cm (wide) panel. Poster sessions start at 3pm. Posters can be put up during lunch time and should be removed by the end of the day. Panels will be numbered. The number for each poster is indicated on the conference program. A volunteer will be there to assist you.
