Presentation Guidelines

PowerPoint projection equipment will be available in all meeting rooms.

Equipment for projection of slides or transparencies will not be available in meeting rooms.

Usage of personal laptop computers is allowed, if notice is provided at least 3 hours before the session.

All presentations must be uploaded, tested and submitted in the Speaker Preview Room at least 2 hours before your presentation time.

All presentations will be copied automatically to the correct meeting room. You will easily find your presentation at the lectern according to the scheduled session, date, hour and speaker.

For Mac-Users: Export your Keynote presentation to PowerPoint for Mac, export your Keynote presentation to movie (iMovie, Quicktime video with "Playback Uses" settings) or export to PDF. Be aware of the need to edit/reformat the presentation fonts, images and charts especially when exporting to PowerPoint for Mac. For embedded movies, please use "Quicktime" to save the movie in ".mpeg 1(2)", or "*.avi" format. Please test the proper functionality of your presentation as soon as possible in the Speaker Preview Room and in the Presentation Room before your presentation time. 

Only fonts which are included in the basic installation of MS-Windows will be available (English version of Windows). Use of other fonts not included in Windows can cause the wrong layout/style of your presentation. Special fonts may be installed, if notice is provided at least 3 hours before the session.

JPG, GIF, or BMP compressed images are the preferred file format for inserted images (other types of extensions will be accepted as well, provided that they are recognised by PowerPoint).

Audience Interaction

To enhance the learning experience during the SESAM 2019 Annual Meeting, we will be offering audience participation software and would like to promote its use throughout the Annual Meeting.

Delegates wishing to ask questions to presenters can access the audience participation option via the SESAM event app. After selecting the relevant session, they can submit a question to the presenter. At the end of each session, you can show the submitted questions by selecting the Internet browser tab (already open on the computer) and choose which ones you would like to answer.

If you would like to use to use the software, we strongly recommend that you promote it during your session(s), so that delegates are aware that they can submit questions to you.
