Presentation Guidelines

All papers will have a discussant. Please note that each author can present only one paper. Each presentation will be allocated in a 25 minutes slot – this will allow for 15 minutes to present plus 10 minutes questions and answers.

On-Site Presentations
Projectors will be provided as standard in each session room. We use the Microsoft PowerPoint as the standard software. All PowerPoint versions are compatible with the software we use. Please be so kind and bring your files on any kind of USB storage device. However please ensure the version of software is compatible with Win OS. We do not specify a template for presentations, but we kindly ask you to read the below mentioned tips in order to help you format your presentations.

Virtual Presentations
Virtual presentations/sessions  will be held on our Discord server. You will be provided with a link to access the virtual venue. You can also prepare your PowerPoint presentation and you will be able to share your screen during the speech. PowerPoint presentations are not mandatory during virtual presentations.

Tips for formatting your presentation:

  • Please do not use more than 15 slides; even less is preferred
  • Use white (or if coloured very light) background, black font (Arial, Times New Roman or Helvetica), please avoid any script type font.
  • Headings should be 32 point font or larger; sub-headings should be 30 point or larger; and text should be 28 point or larger if possible. No text on the slide should be less than 20 point to make it readable also for the people at the back of the room.
  • Limit the writing to minimun – include only essential information, list key concepts, not full sentences.
  • Use bullet system, do not use more than six bullets per slide.
  • Tables and graphics should be kept simple and clear.
  • The closing slide should encourage questions from the audience
