Preparing a Presentation

Part A is addressed to attendees selecting a slide show during registration. Slide show replaces traditional poster, but we use slide show, poster, or poster session terms interchangeably hereafter in Part A.

Part B is addressed to attendees selecting an oral presentation during registration.

Part A

1. The presentation may be created using any software, e.g., PowerPoint, but it will have to be saved as a PDF file. Thus, keep the presentation simple, avoid slide transitions and animations.
2. You may upload the presentation either during or after registration but you have to register as a presenting attendee to upload or update your presentation at a later time (check Important Dates for registration deadlines).
3. Limit the number of slides (maximum size A3) to no more than five.
4. Consider using the widescreen slide size.
5. The maximum size of the slide show file after conversion to PDF format is 15 megabytes.

Additional notes:

1. Slide shows will be shared only with other attendees for the duration of the Conference via the PSEPB website (behind a login wall).
2. These files will serve the attendees as a useful starting point for getting an idea about others’ research. During the poster session, presenting attendees will be assigned to separate “rooms,” where they will be able to share their screen, e.g., with the extended version of the presentation.
3. We realize that this presentation form is different from an in-person meeting, and we ask presenters to keep it in mind when they decide what information and data are to be included in their posters.

Part B

1. The presentation may be created using any software, e.g., PowerPoint, but keep the presentation simple, avoid slide transitions and animations.
2. Please send your presentation to the organizers at 10thconference@ptber.org.pl 1 week before the Conference as a backup copy in case of technical issues during your speech.
3. Limit the number of slides per minute of your talk to the maximum of two.
4. Consider using the widescreen slide size.

Additional notes:

1. Sessions will be scheduled at times convenient for presenting attendees across different time zones, so we would like to avoid accepting presentation recordings.
2. The total time allotted for each presentation is 15 minutes, including discussion (about 5 minutes). Invited speakers have twice this time: 30 minutes (including about 5 minutes for questions).
