Instructions for Presenters / Session Chairs

Instructions for presenters:
 
  • Presentations and uploading your contributions:
    • Please upload your presentation before the start of the sessions. You can upload your slides directly to the indico page by clicking on your contribution. If you have any trouble please let us know and we can help. For parallel session talks, please contact the working group conveners of the session.
    • All speakers need to upload their slides before the start of the session
  • Allocated times for your presentation:
    • The times shown for your presentation on indico includes the time for questions. So please prepare your talk such that you leave time for questions. We will need to be strict on the time to make sure that we stay on schedule, so that the in-person audience and remote participants can best interact. Virtual participants might connect for certain talks only.
    • Please stay in time and remember allocated talk times include Q&A periods.
    • Please refer to instruction from your working group for the suggested break down. For the plenary session we will use the following allocation: [30min - 25min + 5min] and [15min = 13min + 2min].
  • Presentation Laptop:
    • We will have a presentation laptop with the zoom session running for the presenters. All presenters shall use the presentation laptop. The presentation laptop will be running windows and can be used to display pdfs or power-point files. If necessary presenters could use their own laptop by connecting to the zoom session, however we strongly encourage you to use the presentation laptop.
  • Virtual presenters:
    • Please join before the start of your session and test that screen sharing and your microphone works properly.
