Audiovisual Equipment / Speakers’ Service Center (SSC)
The Speakers’ Service Centre (SSC) is centrally located on the second level of the Helsinki Fair Centre (please refer to the overview).
All lecture rooms will be equipped with a PC and a data projector for PowerPoint presentations only. Presentations must be handed in via floppy disk, CD-ROM, zip drive, memory stick or via your own laptop before your lecture.
It is essential for the smooth running of the congress that all speakers hand in their PowerPoint presentations at least one hour before the beginning of the session. Enough time must be allowed to check the presentation carefully and for the staff to enter the data into the system. Speakers will have the opportunity to check their presentations on PCs available in the SSC.
Publication/CD-ROM
All accepted abstracts will be published as an electronic supplement to Clinical Microbiology and Infection (CMI), the official journal of ESCMID. All accepted abstracts will be made available to the participants only on a CD-ROM which is sponsored by Merck. No abstract book will be printed, however a second CD, sponsored by Novartis, containing most of the full posters will be produced.
