ORAL PRESENTATION GUIDELINES

  • Venue: Oral presentations have to be given on-site at the Congress Center in Basel. Please plan your travel accordingly and make necessary arrangements to be present at the venue.

  • Presentation slot: You can find the exact time and date of your presentation in the abstract notification email that was sent to you. If you have any doubts or need clarification, please check the schedule overview or contact us at bc2@sib.swiss.

  • Duration: presentations should be 15 minutes long, consisting of a 12-minute presentation and a 3-minute Q&A session.

  • Content: please ensure that your presentation introduces the scientific question, highlights key results, and discusses future directions and challenges of your project.

  • File format: prepare your presentation in 16:9 aspect ratio and save it in one of the following formats: PowerPoint (.pptx) or PDF (.pdf).

  • Technical requirements: please note that you won't be able to use your own computer for the presentation. Instead, bring your presentation on a USB stick and submit it to the technical team at the Speakers' Service Centre in room Nairobi on the 2nd floor, next to the registration desk.

  • Submission deadline: all presentations must be provided to the Speakers' Service Centre 12 hours prior to your scheduled presentation time. Please name your file as follows: DATE_TIME_SURNAME (e.g., 12SEPT_13:30-14:00_MILLER).

  • Alternative submission: Alternatively, you can send your presentation to solange.guye@sib.swiss instead of delivering it in person to the Speakers' Service Centre. This must be done 24 hours prior to your scheduled presentation time.

  • Videos: If your presentation includes embedded videos, please provide the video file separately in mp4 format. This will enable the technical team to play your video in case of any issues during your presentation. Name the video file as follows: DATE_TIME_SURNAME_VIDEO-FILE-NAME (e.g., 12SEPT_13:30-14:00_MILLER_Video-1).

  • Important information:  The speakers and presenting authors should arrive at the meeting room 15 minutes before the beginning of the session and introduce themselves to the Session Chairs. It is very important that, for a smooth development of the conference, all speakers and presenting authors respect the pre-assigned presentation time. You can check the full agenda here: agenda.
