Instructions for presenters

Practical Guidelines

All presenters and session’s organisers are expected to arrive at the session room well in advance to allow sufficient time for setting up presentations.

Each room will have a conference staff member to assist with technical setup, room arrangements, and practical questions prior to the session. Additional assistance is available at the information desk throughout the conference.

All session rooms are equipped with laptops/ computers and wireless internet access.

How to share your presentation for the audience

1. You may open your presentation directly on the room’s laptop / computer, for example from your email or OneDrive. For security reasons, connecting personal USB drives to Jamk computers is not permitted.

2. It is also possible to connect the presenter's laptop to the room's system via HDMI. To ensure that the conference runs smoothly and stays on schedule, any necessary testing must be carried out in the session room before the session begins, with the support of a conference staff member. Conference organisers do not allow laptops to be changed between presentations, which applies especially to Paper Presentation and Symposium sessions.

Please, note, that Mac computers may cause compatibility issues, and connecting them to the room’s system is not supported.

Instructions for presentation formats

See the detailed instructions below.

Paper Presentations

Paper presentation sessions last 1.5 hours and each session includes three presentations.
Paper presentations provide delegates with the opportunity to present their research and findings in depth, including data and results.
Each presenter has a total of 25 minutes, consisting of a 15–20 -minute presentation followed by 5–10 minutes for discussion.
Paper presentation sessions are chaired by the first presenter.

Poster Presentations

Posters will be displayed throughout the conference in the coffee break areas.
Presenters should bring their poster in A0 size and, with assistance from the conference organisers, place it on the designated poster boards at the venue. Posters will be attached using magnets or pushpins, which will be provided.
A dedicated poster session lasts 1.5 hours and provides authors with the opportunity to present their work both visually and verbally. Each presenter will have approximately 5 minutes to briefly introduce their research or project in turns. Afterwards, participants may explore the posters in more detail and engage in discussions with the presenters.
Poster sessions are chaired by a designated chair appointed by the conference organisers.

Workshops

Workshop sessions are interactive 1.5-hour hands-on sessions. They provide organisers with the flexibility to structure the session in a way they find most effective. Workshops are intended to be highly interactive and to offer collaborative learning experiences, practical skills, and in-depth discussions on a specific theme.
Workshop organisers may bring their own materials to support the session. In addition, the conference organisers will provide flipcharts, paper, and markers.
Workshops are chaired by the workshop organiser.

Chairing of the sessions

Paper presentation sessions are chaired by the first presenter, symposium and workshop sessions by the session organisers, and poster sessions by a designated chair. The chair is responsible for keeping time and ensuring that the session proceeds according to schedule.

To ensure safe and inclusive conference

The conference follows the principles of a safe and inclusive environment. Therefore, we warmly encourage all participants to contribute to a respectful, supportive, and harassment-free atmosphere.
