Authors may submit more than one abstract for both oral and poster presentation.

There are no proceedings foreseen.

Oral presentations

  • A Speaker Ready Area equipped with computers with the same configuration of the session rooms is available for the oral speakers to upload and check their presentations. 
  • Please bring your presentation on a USB stick (make a folder if not a single file), name it LastnameInitial.type (e.g., PresenterA.ppt) and make sure your presentation has been copied to the computer in the Speaker Ready Area well before the start of your session. Presentations which are uploaded in the Speaker Ready Area will be automatically also available in the session rooms.
  • As a baseline, presentations from personal laptops are not allowed, to ensure a smooth programme running and to minimise the transition time between presentations
  • Presenters should be in their session room 20 minutes before the session begins to meet with the session chairs, who should be near the stage/lectern. Late uploads shall be avoided if possible; LPS19 assistants will be available to indicate where eventual last-minute-uploads can be done.
  • Presentations should be in MS PowerPoint or Acrobat pdf. Presenters shall respect the allocated time for presentations as per preliminary programme. Chairs will give a 2-minute warning to wrap-up. Eventual questions will be made at the end of the session.Each session room is equipped with a video projector 16:9, a microphone, a lectern with screen, and a pointing device. The software installed on the computer includes:
    • Windows 10
    • MS Office 2016 Professional (Power Point, Word)
    • Adobe Acrobat Reader
    • Windows Media Player 12

    The media player is only available with standard codecs. Use of standard True Type fonts is suggested for PowerPoint presentations. In the case that a ppt contains a video or animation, please ensure that both files (Power Point and video - MPG AVI) are in the same folder.

    Please take into account that the meeting room is quite large, the presentations should contain clear information with appropriate font (and image) size that is legible from the back of the conference rooms.

Poster presentations

Presenters at the poster sessions shall bring their own printed posters.

  • The maximum poster size is AO (ca. 84.1 x 118.9cm ), Portrait orientation.
  • Authors are strongly encouraged to produce a “proper” full-size poster rather than using multiple smaller (e.g. A4) sheets.
  • Poster numbers (according to the conference programme) will be noted on the poster panels
  • Posters shall be mounted and dismounted autonomously by the Poster Presenter as per the following schedule. Posters which are not dismounted in due time will be removed and trashed by the staff. Posters shall be mounted only on the day of their display. Posters which are not mounted on the correct day will be removed.
