ABSTRACT



Speakers Presentation Guidelines


All speakers giving a presentation are requested to validate their presentation in the Speakers' Support Centre (SSC) a minimum of 2 hours before the session starts or the day before if the session is at 8:15! Presentations received after this deadline cannot be guaranteed optimal audiovisual support.

Peak hours of operation in the SSC are during coffee breaks and lunch breaks. In order to maximise your time in the SSC, and the attention that we are able to give you, we highly recommend visiting early in the morning or during the sessions.

The accepted media in the Speaker Support Centre are: External HDD, CD-Rom, DVD (data/video), USB/Flash Discs.

Speaker Support Centre (SSC)

Once your presentation is processed in the Speaker Support Centre, you are strongly advised to familiarize yourself with the controls of the presentation system, which is used to display the presentation. The technicians are more than willing to explain the features of this system. The practice-system supplied is an exact copy of the one used in the lecture room.

MAC Users

If you are a mac-user, make sure that you check-in early with the Speaker Support Centre for your mac-presentation to be converted to a pc format. There will not be the possibility to place a laptop in the rooms.

The Speakers' Support Centre will be open the following hours:

Friday 12 June 13.00 - 18.00
Saturday 13 June 07.00 - 18.00
Sunday 14 June 07.45 - 18.00
Monday 15 June 07.45 - 18.00
Tuesday 16 June 07.45 - 16.00

EUPO Course Speakers will receive a separate e-mail for instructions on how to submit their presentations prior to the Congress for the presentations on Friday, June 12th.

In the lecture room

In the lecture room, you will open your presentation, by touching the box with your name on the touch screen. Moderators will follow the presentation on a dedicated monitor placed in front of them. There is a mouse pointer embedded in the presentation system, we recommend using that in stead of a conventional laser pointer, which will be difficult to see on most projection screens.
