Oral presentation guidelines

Plenary presentations will most likely take 25 min with 5 minutes of questions from the audience. Presentations held during the parallel sessions can be (i) keynote presentations (25 min + 5 min questions) or (ii)  presentations (12 min + 3 min questions). 

Each session room will have a laptop / pc which accommodates all formats of PowerPoint, though we do recommend that you use the widescreen (16:9) screen size for your PowerPoint presentation. There will be a microphone for the speaker and also for the audience to pose questions. A technician will be available throughout the event to solve any technical issues.

When you are invited to give an oral presentation at the 40th EFFoST International Conference, please consider the following to allow your session to run smoothly:

  • Keep to time as over-running impacts on other presenters and the programme overall.
  • Please load your presentation 2 hours before the session in the speaker ready room.
  • Make sure to bring your presentation on a USB or other storage media as a backup
  • Make sure to arrive at the conference venue with plenty of time to find your session room and upload your presentation, on the day of your presentation.
  • Arrive in the room 15 minutes before the session starts.
  • Check with session chair in room
  • The event organizer, who you can find at the registration desk, will be able to provide assistance.
