PowerPoint Presentation Guidelines
PLEASE NOTE: In compliance with CME/CPD requirements all speakers and oral presenters are requested either to disclose any conflicts of interest or to include in their presentation a statement that they have none.
- The first slide of your presentation must be your name and presentation title.
- The second slide should be the disclosure slide. If you have nothing to disclose, please add “No Disclosures”. You can download a template HERE.
- We recommend that you label all slides that include unpublished data with a title: “UNPUBLISHED DATA – DO NOT COPY OR DISTRIBUTE”.
Onsite presentation slide upload
- You can bring your slides to the Speakers’ Ready Room on a USB stick. The Speakers’ Ready Room is clearly signposted at the Congress venue.
- You are asked to only use the Congress computers in the session halls for presentation purposes. The Congress will not be able to support lecture slides presented on personal computers.
- Please note that your slides must be finalized and ready on the day of your session.*
- Please upload your presentation slides in the Speakers’ Ready Room as soon as you arrive at the venue in the morning and at least 1 hour before the start of the session.
- If you combine video clips with PowerPoint, please make sure to test it in the Speakers’ Ready Room during a coffee or lunch break prior to your session and at least 2 hours before the start of the session. In the Speakers’ Ready Room, a technician will assist you in checking whether the sound and picture from the video are transmitted well. Please make sure to repeat the test again during the break before your session in the session hall at the AV table to avoid technical issues.
*Please note that in accordance with the CME/CPD accreditation requirements, you may be requested to submit your presentation slides in advance of the Congress via email. In such a case, you will be contacted directly by the Congress Secretariat with more information. Sending the slides via email is only for compliance review purposes and you are still required to upload the slides in the Speakers’ Ready Room onsite at least 1 hour before your presentation.
Presentation Layout and Ratio
- Format: Your presentation should be prepared in .PPT or .PPTX format.
- Ratio: Please note that the conference computers in the session halls are supplied with Office 2019 (at least) and the native ratio of the projection on the screens in the Halls is 16:9. Click here for information on how to change the ratio to 16:9 in PowerPoint in order to avoid misplacement of text and pictures when presenting.
