Name Badges

All participants are kindly requested to wear badges at all times during the conference. The badges are necessary for the admission to all conference events (lectures, posters, welcome party, gala dinner, lunches and coffee breaks etc).

Oral presentations

Lectures will be held in the Grandis Hall of the Brdo Congress Centre. Speakers are kindly requested to deliver their presentations on an USB device to the computer technician in the Grandis Hall at least half an hour before the start of the session. Slides should be prepared in either MS PowerPoint or PDF format, and should come either together with any supporting materials (e.g. videos) in the same folder (alert the technical staff to copy those to the presenters’ computer as well!) or should be embedded into the PowerPoint presentation so they will be at your disposal at the time of your presentation.

Technical assistance will be provided on-site to help you with the download/upload to provided laptop PCs with Windows OS, Office and Acrobate Reader software. Apple Mac computer users are asked to export their presentations to a PC-compatible format (recommended PDF files) to avoid compatibility issues. The use of presenters’ own computers will not be allowed.

The projected screen will be in a wide, 16:9 (width:height) format. Please prepare your slides accordingly! All presenters are asked to respect the time limits when giving their talks.

Wi-Fi and computers with wire internet access will be available at the conference hall.
