Information for Presenters

Please bookmark this page and check back for new information or changes.
If you wish to work on your presentation in a quiet environment, you can use the speaker ready room. Laptops for temporary use are available at the Info Desk.
Please also check the general information for participants.
Presenters must be registered and payments of presenters must be received latest by May 31. The contributions of participants who fail to do so cannot be considered for the program, or the book of abstracts (and will therefore not be able to present).

The duration of each paper session and symposium is 90 minutes, including discussion.
A symposium includes at least one chairperson and up to 4 presentations, which may include a discussant (optional; i.e., three presentations and one discussant).
A paper sessions includes up to 5 presentations. Each talk in a session is scheduled for a maximum of 15 minutes speaking time and at least 3 minutes for discussion.
All conference rooms are equipped with Apple computers with Microsoft PowerPoint (presentations created with Windows PowerPoint also work smoothly). We kindly ask all the presenters upload their presentations (USB-stick) in advance to the computer. Presenters may also use their own computers, but need to bring their own adapter (to VGA). Please make sure that your presentation is functioning as it should in advance in order to reduce transition times.

Poster sessions will take place in the "Lichthof"; the atrium of the University of Zurich's main building on the following dates:

Push pins will be available for mounting posters to the boards.
All Poster presenters are encouraged to stand by their poster to answer attendee questions during the Poster Sessions.
The distribution of printed material is permitted at the author’s expense.
The conference Logo is available on the Promotional Material site.

Are registration fees waived for accepted presenters and invited symposia?
No, we are not able to waive registration fees in order to keep costs manageable for all participants.
Will the abstracts be published?
The abstracts will be published in the book of abstracts, which will be publicly available online.
