PowerPoint files - extension .ppt or .pps will be accepted. Files can include linked video(s) with standard formats.
Only PC will be avialble on-site.
If you are using a Mac, please save your presentation in PC format prior to sending.

Please submit your slides through our on-line slide centre (see below). You are invited to bring a backup copy of your presentation in case of any problems with your file. This can be done on one of the following media:

• CD
• DVD-rom
• USB removable drive

All invited speakers and oral communications presenters are requested to send us their PowerPoint presentation(s) and their corresponding abstracts in advance.
Uploading presentations in advance via the web will avoid delays at the meeting and will ensure that all slides are compatible with the projection system. Sending abstracts in advance will aloow delegates to prepare their own itinerary.

Once the files have been uploaded, they will be checked by a technician to ensure that they can be read, that no corruption has occurred and that any video links are working. An e-mail of confirmation will then be sent.
Please note that all presenters will have access to their presentations for verification at the Speaker Service Center on-site, at the meeting.

This on-line service will remain available until 17.00 hours (GMT+1) on 25 August 2008. After this date, you will need to upload your presentation directly on-site at the Speaker Service Center located at the entrance of the congress center.

There will be facilities for you to view and edit your presentation at the Speaker Service Center.

Presenters are invited to check their Power Point presentations (at the Speaker Service Center) at least two hours before the session (or the day before for morning sessions). Your presentation will then be transferred to the central server and available in you session room.

• Material on slides must be of an adequate size to be seen clearly by all delegates.
• It is recommended that each slide contains no more than seven lines of text and no more than seven words per line.
• If showing graphs, tables or charts:
  Do not make them too crowded
  Complex figures should be broken up into series
  Limit the number of captions
  Use rounded figures
• As a rough guide, we suggest you allow no more than two slides per minute of your talk.
• Slides are easier to read when there is a high contrast between the text and the background. Yellow or white text on a mid to dark blue background works particularly well. Avoid black text on a white background (eg photographs of typed pages).
• Abstract format:
  Word document (no PDF file).
  Text with a maximum of 3600 characters.
  Font: Verdana, 10.
  No images but tables are welcome.
  No graphical letters.
