Instructions for Authors

Oral Presentations

To ensure the smooth delivery of your oral presentation, please adhere to the following guidelines:

1. Language Requirement: All oral presentations must be conducted in English. This is to maintain consistency and ensure that all attendees can understand the content being presented.

2. Presentation Storage: Authors are required to bring their presentations on USB flash drives, mobile hard disk, or CD-Rom/DVD to the “Slide Center”. This standardizes the process and minimizes technical difficulties related to file transfers. All presentations will have to be based on Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 or later versions, or PDF.

3. Equipment Availability: The session room is equipped with laptop computers and a LCD projector, making it unnecessary for presenters to bring their own laptops. Speakers will not be allowed to use their own laptop. This setup facilitates a smoother transition between presentations and ensures compatibility with the provided technology.

4. Special Equipment Requests: If your presentation requires special equipment, you must submit a written request to beli24.dii@unipd.it at least two weeks before the meeting. If possible, the organizer will accept the request. Those with Apple-based presentations should make sure they are saved in a PC-compatible format.

5. Speaker Ready Room: There is no designated Speaker Ready Room. Therefore, it is crucial that you come prepared and ensure your presentation is ready for display on the provided equipment. Speakers should contact the technicians in the “Slide Center” to upload their presentation at least two hours before the beginning of their session or in the afternoon of the day before, in case of early morning presentations.

6. Session Preparation: Arrive early to familiarize yourself with the setup and introduce yourself to the Session Chairs. This early arrival helps in establishing a rapport with the session organizers and ensures any last-minute details are addressed.

7. Duration of Talks: for Keynotes is 25 min; for Invited is 20 min; for Oral is 15 min. No additional time is allotted specifically for Q&A sessions. You must incorporate a Q&A segment within your allotted presentation time as specified in the Program. Plan your talk accordingly to ensure a balanced delivery of content and interaction with your audience.

By following these guidelines, you will contribute to the overall success of the session and ensure a professional and efficient presentation experience for both yourself and your audience.
