Presentations can be uploaded at any time from the start of the meeting but no later than 30 mins. before the session starts or the break preceding your session.

Please check the agenda (here) and name your presentation as follows:

(presentation_number_within_session)_(presenter_Last_name) (E.g. 01_Brown.pptx/pdf)

Upload your presentation to the folder for your session, under “FRINGE2023”. The same folder structure will appear on the laptop of the meeting room.

Power Point Template

Please find a dedicated Power Point Template for the workshop, for your reference HERE.
Please note that it’s not mandatory to use it but it’s only in support for the authors who would like to use the FRINGE template.

Presenters are advised to check their presentation (e.g. graphics/equations/videos) prior to the session start. Use of standard True Type fonts is suggested for PowerPoint presentations (conference laptop version is MS Office 2019 Professional). In the case that a ppt contains a video or animation, please ensure that both files (Power Point and video – MPG AVI) are in the session folder. All the presentations should be in pptx or pdf format, any other format is not guaranteed to work on the conference laptop.

NOTE: Presentations from personal laptops is not allowed to ensure a smooth programme running.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PRESENTERS: PRESENTING

Presentations will be launched by the technician, speakers need only to change slides with the slide advance device located on the podium. The podium PC is directly connected to the session room video camera recording the session, which will be live streamed so that remote participant(s) can hear and see the conference room and presentations, no remote interactions are foreseen. Speakers will be given a 2-minute warning before the end of their allotted time.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR POSTER PRESENTERS:

The posters should be in A0 format portrait orientation, as the poster panels are 1 m wide and 2 m high. The posters can be mounted upon your arrival to the workshop, after you have registered.
