  • There is also the opportunity to have a standing monitor close to your poster to present e.g. your simulations, your software/database, videos etc. (for a total of up to 4-5 monitors in the poster area, so in case of more requests we will select on the basis of the specified purpose, and possibly monitors might be also shared by two or more presenters).

    • you will present a poster;
    • you wish to present a 1-slide pitch on Day 1;
    • you wish to have availability of a standing monitor in the poster area and for what purpose.

Poster Pitch Presentations

  • Poster presenters will have the opportunity to present 1-slide about their poster (1 or 2 minutes depending on the final number of confirmed pitches) during one of the two poster pitch sessions in DAY 1. For organisational reasons, the slides will be projected with the speakers presenting from their seat in the audience (a microphone will be passed among the audience). At least one pitch session will be held if a minimum of ten 1-slide pitches will be confirmed (confirmation to be sent by email, refer to the last bullet of the previous section “Poster Presentations”) .
  • The file format of your 1-slide shall be .ppt/.pptx (MS PowerPoint) or .pdf (Adobe Acrobat Reader) in widescreen (16:9) format, with no animations. All the slides will be assembled in one single presentation, in order of abstract number.
  • Note that the workshop will take place in a large meeting room: your 1-slide should contain clear information with appropriate font size.
  • Please title the file of your 1-slide as “YY_ Surname”, with ‘YY’ the number of your abstract, and with ‘Surname’ the surname of the presenter. Please report also the number ‘YY’ on the right upper or lower corner well visible so that interested participants can more easily find your poster at the poster session.
