Presenters Instructions

If you are a parallel session presenter or moderator PLEASE read the relevant information below regarding technology, timing, and the timekeeper role:

Presentation Technology

A computer and projector will be available in each room for presentations. Please use PowerPoint (pptx) or Portable Document Format (pdf ) as presentation formats. Prezi is also available if it is already fully downloaded. Presenters are requested to bring their presentations on a USB stick under all circumstances. Connecting personal laptops is discouraged to avoid excessive loss of time.

Presenters/Moderators

Presenters are invited to come to the room at least 10 minutes prior to the start of the session to upload their presentation and check functionality – all parallel sessions have a break immediately preceding them so that you will have time. We recommend using your name in the file name and avoiding file names such as GCET19 or PRESENTATION to avoid confusion. If you need technical assistance and cannot spot an assistant, kindly call +34 699 979 565 (Carlos Moreno) and request it indicating your conference room name. Moderators will introduce the presenters and their topics and their role is also moderate the debates. Please be aware of your duties as timekeeper, if applicable.

Duration

The time available for each parallel session is one hour and forty-five minutes. Therefore, parallel sessions with 5 presenters will have 21 minutes for each to present and take questions, and parallel sessions with 4 presenters will have 26 minutes for each to present and take questions. The timekeepers can give you a gentle 5 minute warning when your time is almost up and then will inform you when your time is up. The presenter will be in charge of deciding when to transition from presenting to taking questions, and will themselves take questions from the audience.

Timekeeper

Timekeepers are always the last presenters in the parallel session. Timekeepers, like the other presenters, are invited to come to the room 10 minutes prior to the start of the session and check in with each presenter. Their responsibilities include ensuring that the time is equally divided across all presentations. It is recommended that the timekeepers use a timer or a timer function on their phone to keep track of the time, and then to provide 5-minute and time’s up reminders to the presenters preceding them. It will be in everyone’s interest to start on time and remain respectful of others’ time.
