Presenting a lecture
A live talk in a thematic session.
-
PowerPoint or PDF — 16:9 format preferred.
-
The event is live. Sessions are timed so authors can present in their own time zone.
-
There are no design rules for slide layout, but please keep the reserved area in the template clear — your camera feed sits there during the live presentation.
Preparing your poster
Posters live in the virtual poster hall (JPG) and on-site (printed A0). Optional pre-recorded video adds context for online attendees.
-
Portrait format, size DIN A0.
-
Upload a JPG for the virtual poster hall via the Abstract Management System, at the latest one week before the event. Max file size 25 MB.
-
Optional: Pre-recorded video in which you present your poster. Mp4 format, max 150 MB. We recommend HandBrake for conversion and size reduction.
-
On-site: bring the printed poster (A0) to the venue. In addition upload the file.
-
Online: prepare your poster and upload the file.
