Formal viewing sessions will be held during the session breaks of the meeting.  During these viewing sessions, you should be available near your poster board to discuss your work with peers who will be reviewing all the posters. No judging is involved; just an exchange of scientific knowledge and two way feedback.

  •  In order to upload your PPT, you need to bring your USB stick to the Speaker preparation area which is located on Plaza Foyer level near the IAP registration desk 2 hours before your scheduled presentation starts.
  •  The venue uses 16:9 format. Therefore presentations should be made in 16:9 widescreen format.
  •  All Audio Advice computers are running Windows 10 with the latest PowerPoint version.
  •  When saving your presentation, it is a good idea to embed fonts into the presentation file to ensure fonts used in the presentation don’t change when opened on a different computer. This feature is only available on windows versions of PowerPoint. You can do this by selecting File> Options, then select the ‘Save’ Tab in the list on the left of the window, select Embed Fonts in File at the bottom of the page. Unfortunately Mac versions of PowerPoint and keynote do not allow you to do this.
