Presentation Guidelines

All abstracts accepted for the Conference will be presented in either oral or poster session. All presentations must be in English.

Oral presentation

All oral sessions will take place at the Centro Congressi Magazzini del Cotone. Presentations must be submitted in advance to the staff in the Speakers’ Ready Room.

Each Invited Oral is permitted 30 minutes. You should plan for 25 minutes for the presentation and 5 minutes for questions.

Each Contributed Oral is permitted 15 minutes. You should arrange your talk so that your presentation lasts 12-13 minutes, with 2-3 minutes available for questions.

You are expected to notify the session chair of your presence just before the start of the session. There will be no rearrangement of presentations within an oral session to accommodate absences or cancellations, so the time you have been assigned within the oral session is fixed.

If you need to make changes or withdraw your presentation from the program BEFORE the Conference, please submit your request via e-mail to secretariat@eucas2013.org. Please make sure you include your assigned abstract id number on any correspondence.

If you need to make changes or withdraw your presentation from the program ON-SITE at the Conference, please inform the staff in the Speakers’ Ready Room.

All oral presenters are required to submit an electronic version of their presentation at least one day prior to their presentation on-site at the Conference.  Presentations must be submitted in Microsoft Power Point PDF format and must be turned into the Speaker Preparation Room.  For compatibility reasons, it is strongly recommended that presenters use common use True Type fonts in their Power Point presentations.  Acceptable media include CD/DVD and USB flashdrive.  All presentations will be scanned for viruses and loaded on the appropriate computer for the following day’s presentations.
