A speaker presentation computer will be located at the Registration/Information Desk to check presentations on the electronic preview system.

Upload your electronic presentation to the fileserver as early as possible but at latest on the day before you are due to make the presentation. Name the file with the program code and "_talk" (for example MOCZB9_talk.ppt) and then upload in the same way as for papers through your IBIC2014 account. You can find the program code assigned to your presentation via this interface. Authors who are unable to upload to the server should copy the file to a memory stick and bring it to the Registration/Information Desk at least one day before their talk. Note that the computers used for the presentations will be PC's with Windows 7 installed. There will be no provision for authors to use their own computers and if this will cause you problems, please contact the Presentation Officer, Suzette Escobar, as soon as possible. At the ConferenceThose speakers who have not uploaded their files in advance should deliver them (PowerPoint, PDF) to conference staff at the Registration/Information Desk. Here the presentations can be checked and loaded on the conference computers. Before your session, check back that everything has been loaded OK. Slides that have been successfully captured will be published on the web without further action on your part. You may check your presentation at any other time during the conference. In this case, please contact the Presentation Officer, Suzette Escobar. During the PresentationThe Scientific Secretary on the podium will help you with your presentation. Please get in contact with him or her before the session with your talk starts. At the podium you will be presented with a LCD screen displaying your presentation, a laser pointer and a simple remote to control your presentation. In case of you have any problems, the Scientific Secretary will be in contact with the hotel technical staff that have complete control over your presentation. The remaining time of your talk will be displayed on a countdown clock at the side of the stage on the Scientific Secretary's table. |
