| Personal laptops should not be used unless under unavoidable conditions. |
| No videos will be recorded. |
| Question periods, thanks and acknowledgement of the speakers will take place during the session or after completion of the session, so please stay until the session ends. |
| Presentation format: PPT.doc or PPT.docx. |
| MAC-compatible presentation. |
| Please take steps to compress any videos. |
| Each slide should be concise, uncluttered and readable from a distance; include only key words and phrases for visual reinforcement. Avoid lengthy text. |
| Basic AV setup will be provided: laser pointer, cordless mike, desktop mike, basic sound system. |
| If you have any audio/video to be played, they should be checked in with the AV team 24 hours before your presentation. |

| Use the email address you provided when submitting your abstract. Once logged in, follow the instructions on the screen. |
| You can also email the presentation to the designated conference email ID. |
| All presentations will be downloaded to your session room on the day of your presentation. |
| The presentations will be loaded prior to your session with the name "first name_last name and date / session". |
| It is recommended to upload your presentation 3 days before the conference start date. If you are unable to send it, you can always upload your presentation (save the presentation on a USB Flash drive) at the lectern during the break preceding your scheduled presentation. The USB Flash drive will be scanned before transferring the presentation to the presentation folder. |
| Once you have completed your presentation it will be permanently removed. (Optionally it may be selected for the presentation library maintained by Yuktan.) |
| Appropriate extension usage: use .PPTX, .PPSX if saving from PowerPoint 2007/2008/2010/2011 format or use .PPT or .PPS if saving to an earlier-version format or saving from an earlier version. |
| Copy the media file to the folder where the PowerPoint file is, and only then insert it; otherwise links to most media files will break. |
| AVI or MPEG are better choice files for videos or sounds; don't use WMV (Windows Media Player). |
| Usage of fonts: Arial, Times New Roman, Courier and Symbol are best presented on MACS. |
| Don't squeeze your text into placeholders: Text rendering on PC vs MAC (font substitution) can cause your squeezed text to get cut off by text boxes. |
