Presentations have to be uploaded in the conference laptop via a USB flash drive. The conference laptop is running under Windows 10. Using your own laptops for presentations is not allowed. Accepted formats for the presentation files are ppt or pdf. Use slides sized for 16:9 and screen resolution should be 1920x1080px to fit the screen size in the conference auditorium.

Please, bring your presentation on a USB key in a designated auditorium at least during the latest break before the session starts. Technicians, located at the entrance of the auditorium, will be at your service to upload your presentation and to check the compatibility of your presentation. You are also invited to bring your presentation files much in advance (for instance the day before the corresponding session). It would be very useful if you could name your digital file with the code for your talk as shown in the programme e.g. MO.02.01; TH.04.03 etc as this will expedite the loading process - Our support team will be on hand to assist you!

In the case of using any multimedia files either separately or embedded in your power point presentation, please send the full set of presentation files to ECSCRM2018@warwick.ac.uk before the conference starting day to ensure their smooth playback.
