Audiovisual Equipment / Speakers Service Centre (SSC)
The Speaker Service Centre (SSC) is located on the ground Floor of the congress centre, next to the cloak room. All lecture rooms will be equipped with a computer and a data projector (beamer) for PowerPoint presentations. Presentations must be handed in via CD-Rom, DVD, USB memory stick or via your own laptop at the SSC before the 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.
Speakers will have the opportunity to check their presentations on PCs available in the SSC.
Poster Sessions
Posters will be on display in two sessions. Presenters are kindly requested to stand by their poster during the Poster Viewing indicated below. The mounting and removal times are to be strictly adhered to. If the poster has not been removed by the end of the allocated removal time, it will be disposed of by congress staff.
