Information for Presenters
In order to keep the sessions running to schedule and allow questions from the audience, it is very important to ensure presentations are within the allotted time. We advise all presenters to ensure they have either uploaded from their USB memory stick or tested their laptop connection in advance of the session in the room they will be presenting in. We advise all presenters to attend the full session that they are presenting in so they do not miss their presenting slot should times vary on the day.
A congress registration is required in order to present a talk
Please note – IMC21 is an in-person meeting with no recorded presentations.
The Scientific Programme is up-to-date and has detailed timings within each session. To search for your presentation and timings, you can type your name in the search box.
Accessibility for Presenters
If you require assistance in order to make your presentation, please contact Katie Reynolds. For example, we are able to provide chairs if standing is an issue. We are happy to discuss your requirements.
Invited Speakers
Invited speakers have been allocated 30 minutes for presentations - 25 minutes for the talk and up to five minutes for questions from the audience.
Talks
Talk speakers have been allocated 15 minutes for presentations - 12 minutes for the talk and up to three minutes for questions from the audience.
Your Presentation
All presenters are requested to go to the speaker preview room, in advance of their session. AV technicians will be available to assist with either loading up your presentation from a USB memory stick, or for those planning to use their own laptop, to check you have the appropriate adaptors. If you have any concerns during the congress about when you can upload your presentation, please visit the registration desk in the foyer and speak to a member of the IMC21 team.
All the projector screens will be set to a 16:9 ratio. Only PowerPoint presentations are accepted if you are not using your own laptop.
Please note that only single projection will be available. Please do not include live links to the internet. If you wish to show web pages, use screen shots within your PowerPoint presentation.
All presentations should be based on the submitted abstract as accepted by the organising committee. All presentations should be delivered by the author indicated in the submission as the presenting author. If the presenting author has changed, please notify [email protected].
All rooms will be set up theatre-style and will be equipped with a lectern, microphone, projector, screen, remote control, laser pointer and laptop with PowerPoint. There will be an AV technician on hand to control the roaming microphones for questions from the audience and to assist you, should you need it.
Poster Presenters
In order to fit on the poster boards, your poster should be printed size A0 (height 1189mm x width 841mm) and be in portrait orientation.
All poster presentations should be based on the submitted abstract as accepted by the organising committee.
A congress registration is required in order to present a poster.
Displaying your Poster
Posters will be displayed in the designated poster area in the exhibition hall. Poster boards will be organised by symposia and then alphabetically by presenting author.
Boards will be clearly marked to indicate the symposia and the poster number, which will correspond to the poster list in the programme. You will need to check the programme on arrival to find out your poster number. If you have any difficulties, a member of the IMC21 team will be available to assist you. You will be given Velcro to affix your poster to the board. If you are planning to bring a fabric printed poster, pins will be provided to attach it to the poster board. Please do not use staples which may damage the boards. If you require additional Velcro, please visit the registration desk.
On arrival please put your poster up (the exhibition hall will be open from 0930 on Monday 31 August). Posters must be taken down no later than 1900 on Thursday 3 September as the exhibition hall will then close and you will not be able to have access to remove your poster after that time.
Please do not leave your poster tubes or packaging next to your poster board as we cannot guarantee security, and it also presents a potential health and safety issue. You may leave your poster tube in the cloakroom, named, with a sticker provided by us.
Poster Sessions
There will be four poster sessions at IMC21; Monday – Thursday, 1730 – 1830.
Posters can be viewed during the lunch breaks and also during the dedicated poster sessions. You must be next to your poster during the relevant poster session in order to answer any questions as this is when the posters will be judged. A congress delegate pass is required in order to present your poster.
