Presenter guidelines for oral presentations
Oral presentations are organized in sessions scheduled in specific conference rooms indicated in the program. In general, a single presentation has a total of 15 minutes' duration. Please note that the duration given to your oral presentation includes 3 minutes for questions and discussion. Thus, a 15-minute talk should be 12 minutes of presentation and 3 minutes of discussion.

The authors are kindly asked to report at the Speakers' Preview Area at their earliest convenience and no later than 2 hours before their allocated session, even if they are not using any audio-visual material. For presentations scheduled early in the morning, you are kindly requested to hand in your PowerPoint file the day before.
