Oral presentations
DURATION OF PRESENTATIONS
- Keynote presentations: 45 minutes followed by 15 minutes for questions, a total of 60 minutes.
- Oral presentations (including symposia): 12 minutes presentation + 5 minutes for Q&A + 3 minutes for change of rooms, a total of 20 minutes.
Hosts of sessions and symposiums will be responsible for strictly enforcing the timing!
LANGUAGE OF PRESENTATIONS
The congress will be bilingual Italian/English. Therefore, if the speech will be in Italian, presentation slides need to be written in English, or viceversa. For foreign speakers, it is recommended that slides are written in Italian if the speech is in English; the organization is happy to help with slide translation if needed!
PRESENTATION FORMAT
Please save the presentation in PDF format. Other supported formats are
.odp and .pptx, but a PDF version of the presentation is required
(simply save/export the presentation as a .pdf file in the software used
for preparation).
We ask speakers to use the templates provided by the organization to prepare their presentations.

- Avoid if possible transition animations, popping-up elements etc. If the pop-up effect is needed, if possible, please use different slides to simulate the pop-up effect
- Videos and audios must be embedded in the presentation (in such cases, the .pptx format is allowed)

LANGUAGE OF POSTERS
The congress will be bilingual in Italian/English. Therefore, a very short summary or bullet points (max 150 words) in the language not used for the rest of the written content in the poster (e.g., if the poster is in English, the abstract should be in Italian, and vice versa)
However, the title of the poster must be in English.
PLACEMENT OF POSTERS
The poster rooms will be located in the same building as the congress.
Posters can be hung starting from the afternoon of September 5th. Visits to the poster rooms will be allowed throughout the duration of the congress during the opening hours of the congress building.
Pins/velcro supports to hang the posters on the panels will be provided by the organization.
Posters will be numbered and hung on the corresponding panel.
OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS
