• There will be no Macintosh computer. Please make sure that your PowerPoint presentation can run on a Windows computer.
• Please provide your Oral Presentations on CD or on a USB memory stick;
• Speakers
  Please come to the registration desk at the Hotel Hall on Sunday 5 October, preferably between at 09:00 and 13:00 h, as we need to start loading the presentations to the computer. This allows us more time in case problems should occur. Especially speakers for the first sessions on Monday morning should be in time. Please don't arrive in the last minute!

To minimize potential incompatibilities between the software versions you use and those we use to display the presentations, we recommend limited use of animation, use of common Windows fonts for text and symbol fonts for equations. Bring your presentation to the meeting on CD-R or USB memory stick after testing this copy on a different machine, and submit it after registration.
