Technical information for podium presentations

Speaker Loading room: Gowning Room

Please note that all presentations must be loaded 30 minutes in advance of the session, please ensure you arrive early to load your talk 

1. All screens in the Wolfson Theatrel are 16:9 (or widescreen) so presentations should be created in this format, 4:3 ratio can be used, however will leave border lines on the left and right of the presentation. Changing from a 4:3 to 16:9 format is not easily done as formatting etc can be distorted, so we won’t re-size and will present as provided

2. It is recommended that any media (photos/videos/audio etc) be embedded into the presentation, and an original copy in the same folder, in case of any issues. For example, a hyperlink to a YouTube presentation is unlikely to work when there are numerous delegates logged onto the WiFi network, if we have the source media (video or audio file) then we have a chance at being able to use alternative means to play them

3. Any videos should be no higher than HD format (1080p) as our systems will downgrade to this resolution, anything higher than this can be played but will only display at 1080p, lower resolutions are ok, however 780p should be considered the minimum quality for display purposes

4. Audio files preferred as .wav or .mp3 format as these can be played easily on all our equipment, we can play other formats if required

5. We have Windows 10 laptops with the latest version of Office via the 365 subscription, and a MacBook with the latest iOS and Office via 365 subscription, along with up to date versions of KeyNote

6. It will not be possible to present from your personal computer. All presentations must be loaded onto the conference computers. 

Poster Presentations

1. Posters should be submitted as PowerPoint presentations only. Other formats cannot be accepted. The text should be roughly equivalent to lecture slides.

2. Please DO NOT password-protect, encrypt or save your document as a PDF.

3. e-Posters should contain a maximum of five slides only 

4. Do not include videos in your poster

5. Do not use animation schemes within or for transitions between slides. Presentations will be converted and loaded to the venue computers in PDF format which will remove animations.

6. Presentations should be set up in landscape orientation with a screen ration of 16:9 (in powerpoint 2007/2010, these details can be accessed via the ‘design’ menu- select the ‘page set up’ option)

7. It is recommended that font size should not be smaller than 14pt
