PowerPoint Presentations

The preferred way is to send us a copy of your PowerPoint presentation latest by January 21 (preferably earlier) by e-mail to andrea.kutnarova@aip.cz (please use WinZip to compress the file, do not forget to save fonts in case you use some more special ones). This will allow us to check it and pre-install it to the presentation server. However, please do not forget to take also a backup copy on a CD-ROM disk or on a USB flash disc with you or even transparencies … just in case.

Guidelines for presentations

The actual time of your session will be confirmed, but we recommend that you prepare a 20 minute presentation, which will allow for a further 5 minutes of Q & A at the end of your allocated time. During the break before your speech please do not forget to check your pre-installed presentation in the auditorium and get in touch with your session chairman. Conference session timing is always crucial. Therefore you are kindly asked to arrive well before your session begins and especially to strictly adhere to the timeframe of your speech and any instructions given by the session chair.

Room set up

The conference will provide presentation rooms with a data projector, overhead projector, computer (PC with CD-ROM drive, Windows, Office XP, incl. PowerPoint, MS Internet Explorer).

Live Internet connection will be available during all sessions. Hotel Diplomat has a good connectivity, however, we still recommend to have an offline backup with you (downloaded html pages or Lotus Screencam captured files on floppies or CD-R). On-site technicians will be available to troubleshoot any equipment problems you may have.

Conference WiFi

Conference provides WiFi (free wireless internet) to INSOURCE participants.

Registration for the Conference

Acceptance of your proposal does not automatically register you as a conference participant. Please be sure to complete and return your personal conference registration form to us as soon as possible. You can register to all conference sessions and social events free of charge as an VIP participant.

Last but not least you are also invited to the INSOURCE Evening Party on Tuesday February 5, 2008 in Michnův palác.
