  • Both Mac and PC formats will be ok: please note .ppt (powerpoint) files are preferred

  • Screens are 16:9 ratio

  • Please save your presentation on a USB stick, and upload the file at the registration desk on arrival at the conference venue: this should be done at least 2 sessions prior to your presentation time.

  • Please bring a backup copy of your presentation with you in the event of any unforeseen circumstances.

POSTER PRESENTATIONS
