Instructions for authors

All speakers participating in any of the congress sessions must report to the preview room to submit and validate their presentation, either the day before or at least two hours before the start of their session. The proper functioning of presentations received after this deadline cannot be guaranteed.

To ensure that each speaker has enough time to review their documents, only minor modifications will be accepted at the pre-projection stations.

• Save your file in .pptx format for better compatibility
• Multimedia elements: 
  • Integrate images and videos using the "Insert" function.
  • Try to limit your video and audio files to 1 GB and prefer .mp4 formats.
