Before the Congress

  1. Please familiarize yourself with the program, session and speakers.
  2. Please prepare some backup questions.

Start of the Session

Please locate the E-Poster Area in the conference center and the E-Poster station allocated for the session you are leading. This information is available in the Mobile App and in the program book. Please ask once arriving on-site, if you are in doubt.

Please arrive at the Short Oral Presentation stations 10 minutes before the session starts. Please approach the E-Poster Helpdesk to receive your headset and microphones and instructions on how to operate the E-Poster screen.

Microphone: There will be one microphone at each station. Please ensure that the microphone is passed from one presenter to the next in the order of the Short Oral Presentations, and that each presenter uses it effectively. You will need to wear a headset to judge this.

During the Session

Introduce the presenters and presentation titles before each presentation. You can view the outline of your session on the conference mobile app.

Short Oral Presentation presenters will have 3 minutes to present their presentation, plus 2 minutes for discussion – a total of 5 minutes.

It is essential to keep the session on time. Please do not allow speakers to exceed their time. Please try to formulate at least one question for each presenter as a backup if no questions are asked by the participants.

  • If a presenter does not show up, move to the next presenter. Check at the end whether this presenter arrived late and allow them to present. Please let us know about any no-shows following the session.

To End the Session

  •  At the end of the session, kindly thank the presenters, and the onsite and online audiences for their participation.
