Authors who do not pre upload their slide according to the instructions by the deadline will not be able to participate in the IGNITE session (no exceptions). We are sorry to impose this requirement, but each speaker will only have 2 minutes to present, therefore, all the slides will have to be automatically pre downloaded to each room computer before the session and the presentation will run automatically in the computer without the presenter’s intervention to save time between presentations.
Day of Presentation
After the IGNITE session, poster presenters must promptly proceed to their scheduled poster session in the poster hall and stand by their posters from their scheduled poster presentation time (18:00 – 19:30). Participation in the Ignite Session does not remove the obligation to participate in the scheduled Poster session.
