Technical requirements

To guarantee your presentation will be correctly displayed, please note the following technical requirements and general notes:

  • Please use Microsoft PowerPoint 97-2016 (*.pptx), OpenOffice / LibreOffice 1.0 – 4.0, PREZI or Adobe PDF to guarantee your presentation will open successfully on an on-site PC. If you use MS PowerPoint, we recommend that you save your PowerPoint presentation using .pptx-format and not .ppsx;
  • Presentations must be formatted in a 16:9 aspect ratio;
  • Please use high contrast lettering and fonts with a minimum size of 32pt and high contrast layouts like light text on dark colours. Only fonts which are included in the basic installation of MS-Windows 10 will be available (English version of Windows). Use of other fonts not included in Windows can cause the wrong layout/style of your presentation;
  • Please note that there will be NO overhead projectors or slide projectors in any of the session rooms;
  • Please note that Apple Keynote presentations must be converted to PowerPoint. If you are a Macuser, please use PowerPoint for Mac;
  • Presentations will be projected in a minimum resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. All video/data projectors at the congress can utilize this resolution without a problem.

Images and video

  • Save the image you wish to use as a JPG or PNG and set compression/quality to medium or high. (Avoid saving images as TIF files, especially Mac presentations);
  • Because of the many different video formats, support cannot be provided for embedded videos in your presentation; please test your presentation with the on-site PC several hours before your presentation. Generally, the MPEG-4 and WMV format should work with no difficulties;
  • Movies or videos which require additional reading or projection equipment will not be accepted;
  • Save the images/videos used in your presentation separately on a USB memory stick. In case of problems, we can re-insert the original items;
  • Pictures and animation links to the internet or other files will NOT be accessible;
  • Feel free to embed localised video files in your presentations. However, make sure to always bring a standalone copy of the video file to the SPR;
  • All movies should be set to start automatically as it is NOT possible to click to start a movie. If you require further information, please ask in the SPR our staff member;
  • As a general rule, be careful to respect the rights of all authors and the anonymity of all individuals;
  • Please account for extra time in the SPR if your presentation has one of the following features:
    • MOV-file movies, TIF-file images;
    • Hyperlinks inside presentations;
    • Starting a movie by clicking it;
    • Flash Movies.

All presentations will be properly tested and reviewed in the Speaker Preview Room to assure that all features are fully functional.
