Format guidelines for the presentations

  • The oral presentation should last no more than 15 minutes.
  • PowerPoint is the presentation programme available in all session halls.
  • No other devices, personal computers etc. than the ones provided in the session halls are allowed for presentations.
  • The PowerPoint handling and distribution system is optimised for MS PowerPoint and Adobe Acrobat-files (“*.pdf”). The uploading of “DVD-Movies” is not supported.
  • The supported data storage media are: CD and USB Memory (Stick). All needed files - also the movie files(!) - have to be on the datamedia. Presentations can also be taken off speakers’ notebooks at the Speaker Ready Room. Please make sure there is enough time for conversion.
  • Format for embedded movies: “*.mp4” and “*.wmv” are preferred, any other format may work or may be converted to an optimised format (may take some time!)
  • The fonts that are used in the presentations need to be Latin-based fonts. If you need special fonts, they should be stored as „embedded fonts“ with the presentation. (File -> save as „name of presentation“ and under „tools“ → save options mark the checkbox „embed True type fonts“ and select „embed all characters“). When using mathematical symbols, please use those available under Latin fonts (unicode or DOS: Western Europe).
  • Presentations should be saved as “*.ppt“, “*.pptx” (= PowerPoint) or “*.pps“, “*.ppsx“ (=PowerPoint Slideshow) - file and movies might be distinct files on the data media (if not embedded). All computers and projectors will be set up and optimised for 16:9 ratio. Please adhere to these specifications in order to have a well-prepared presentation.
