4. Upload your PowerPoint presentation to EDAS
Format
MS PowerPoint submitted in EDAS by April 1, 2025: https://edas.info/N33026
Preparation of Visuals
- To keep the conference on schedule, presentations from personal laptops will not be possible. In the case large movie files are to be shown, work with conference staff to ensure they load and play correctly well before the scheduled session.
- Presentations should be prepared for an aspect ratio of 16:9, which is the setting that shall be used for all projectors. Any presentations using 4:3 aspect ratio will still be viewable in general, but some parts may be too small for the audience to clearly see when projected in 16:9. As such, 16:9 is strongly encouraged.
- To avoid software compatibility problems with MS PowerPoint, speakers are advised to embed all fonts in their PowerPoint presentation.
- Speakers should arrive in their session room 10 minutes before the start of their session to report to the chairs. A technician will also be available in case technical assistance is required.
Changes to Your Presentation
Should you make any changes to your presentation after submission, you will need to bring your presentation on a USB stick and arrive at your session room 10 minutes prior to your session to upload your presentation on the presentation laptop. To avoid software compatibility problems, speakers are advised to put .ppt, .pptx and .pdf versions of their presentation on the USB stick.
