Guidelines for presentation

Poster guidelines

The default format for the posters is A0 portrait. The standard layout is: introduction; materials and methods; results; discussion and conclusion. You may slightly deviate from this template if it suits your subject. Please use figures and tables to clarify your results and provide references.
On site you can find a plan of the poster boards. Hang your poster at the poster board according to the assigned poster number.

Presentation guidelines

Presentations should be in the ‘.ppt’ or ‘.pptx’ format. Please note that the congress’ computers are being supplied with Windows. Bring your PowerPoint presentation on a memory stick in advance to the room of your presentation (refter or Rector Vermeylen auditorium respectively). Do this in the break before your session or during the welcome if you are presenting in the first parallel session. Make use of this time to introduce yourself to the moderators, so that they know who you are and how to pronounce your name, institution, current position…
Presentations are limited to 9 minutes, followed by 3 minutes of questions. The session moderators will notify you when your time is almost up. The program is tight, so please stick to the maximum presentation time.

Power poster guidelines

Power poster is a concept that combines the maximum exposure of a presentation with the extended time for questions of a poster.  First there are plenary short power point presentations of 5 minutes, with no time for questions. Presentations will follow each other quickly, so please stick to the maximum presentation time. During the regular poster session, there is the opportunity to present the work as a traditional poster, giving plenty of time for discussion.
Bring your PowerPoint presentation (in .ppt or .pptx format) on a memory stick to the main auditorium upon arrival at the meeting (before 9:30h). Please note that the congress’ computers are being supplied with Windows. Make use of this time to introduce yourself to the moderators, so that they know who you are and how to pronounce your name, institution, current position…
On site you can find a plan of the poster boards. Hang your poster at the poster board according to the assigned poster number. In addition we encourage people to bring a tablet or other portable device to represent your PowerPoint presentation, or show additional supportive material.
