Guidelines for Preparation of Oral Presentations

Audiovisual Equipment

If using a Power Point (or any other computer) presentation, please note you need to bring it as a PC / IBM compatible format on a floppy disk (3.5 "/1.44 MB) or on a CD or on a "disk on key", using the USB port in the computer (no ZIP disk!) and load it on one of the meeting’s computers in the Speakers’ Ready Room, at least 1 hour before the start of the session.
You may supply your own laptop computer as a back-up.
Please note that the meeting computer in the session hall is being supplied with Windows XP and Office 2000 (at least).

Important note for Macintosh users

If using a Macintosh computer, you will need to bring your own laptop with you. Please ensure that it has a VGA socket for external signal. Please remember to:
a) immediately check your computer in the Speakers’ Ready Room as soon as you arrive and
b) to also check your computer in the session hall where your lecture is taking place, either during the coffee or lunch break prior to your session, at least 30 minutes before the start of the session.

Speakers' Ready Room

A speakers' ready room, available every day throughout the meeting, will be provided for oral presenters.
