INSTRUCTIONS FOR SPEAKERS

   

Important Points


• Each lecture hall is equipped with a computer and a data projector.
• Presentations should be handed in at least three hours prior to the lecture at the Speakers Center on-site.

Further details on the preparation of your presentation


• Store all your files in one folder. Please make sure that graphics, animations and videos and your presentation are all in the same folder.
• Avoid creating symbols as graphics or using special fonts that are external to your Microsoft PowerPoint or word processing program since these might be displayed incorrectly. Instead, always use the ‘Symbol’ function in the ‘Insert’ menu of your program to insert symbols.
• Colours: Use light-coloured fonts for texts on dark backgrounds or vice versa. A strong contrast is important for good legibility.
• Legibility check: On presentation mode, your text should be large enough to be easily readable 1.5 m away from your computer screen.
• The computers are equipped with Office 2003. Please be aware that presentations made on Macintosh computers generally do not run properly on PC. Please visit the Speakers Center to check for incompatibilities. Most of them can be fixed there.
• The latest version of the Acrobat Reader is installed. PDF files can be presented.
• In your presentation, leave appropriate time for discussion and questions from the participants.
