EANO Meeting 2021

INFORMATION FOR PRESENTERS

The organisers of the EANO Meeting 2021 are looking forward to your contribution during the virtual conference and thank you in advance for your cooperation in following these guidelines.

Important information

  • Pre-recording appointments are scheduled between October 4-14, 2021.
  • To book a personal recording appointment every speaker of the virtual EANO Meeting and Educational Day 2021 received a calendar link via email. If you didn’t receive it contact the organizing office.
  • Live session format: Please note that your presentation must be pre-recorded to avoid technical glitches during the conference. The pre-recorded presentation will be streamed live via the virtual platform at the respective date and time. Only the Q&A / discussion with the audience will be live.
  • Pre-recordings of all oral presentations will be done with technical support from EANO’s technical partner SteinerLIVE. Each speaker can book an appointment between October 4-14, 2021 via a calendar link provided by the organizing office via email. As soon as booked further instructions will be sent to the speaker.
  • Presence at the conference: To make the virtual meeting more interactive and exciting for participants, you are kindly asked to be present during the live session in which your talk is scheduled to answer questions from the audience. Questions will be posted in the session chat. The session chairs will monitor the chat and direct the questions to you at the end of your presentation.
    In case you are not able to be present during the live session (e.g. because you are in a different time zone), please let us know in advance so the session chairs are aware and can prepare accordingly. It is not necessary to withdraw your presentation in that case.
  • If you are unable to prepare your presentation, please contact the organizing office immediately.
  • As soon as you receive access to the virtual platform, we encourage you to complete your personal profile page adding as much information as possible (e.g. Keywords, short CV, photo) to be easily found by participants via the “search” function.

Guidelines for your presentation

  • The official conference language is English. Therefore, all presentations are to be held in English.
  • Your presentation must be prepared in MS PowerPoint and needs to be uploaded via the upload link provided in the instructions email at least 24 hours ahead of your pre-recording appointment.
    • In compliance with EACCME regulations, presenters are requested to disclose possible conflicts of interest in the first slide of their presentation (see sample COI slide here). If you have nothing to disclose, please clearly state “I have no commercial disclosure” on the slide.
    • Minimum recommended font size is 18 points. Do not use special fonts which are not part of the standard MS PowerPoint package as this will cause problems while uploading your file.
    • Your presentation should stimulate discussion. Therefore, keep text to a necessary minimum, highlight key facts and emphasize graphics. Ensure a simple and logical order of the content.
    • Aspect ratio of your presentation must be 16:9 landscape.
    • When presenting data and health information (including photos) all presenters must have informed consent compliant with human subjects and applicable regulations and comply with GDPR.
    • If you wish, you may include a QR code to a handout on one of your slides.
  • The size of your PPT presentation should not exceed 500 MB.
  • As a file name please use your presentation number, session title and your full name (e.g. PL02.1_New Molecular Insights_Tom Walker). To avoid any compatibility problems, please do not use special characters (e.g. «, Ö, Ø, ñ, ε, ®, ý, }, {, etc.) in the file name.
  • Please note that macros should not be used and flash-animations are not supported.
  • Do not use any passwords or encryption for your presentation.

Technical guidelines for your pre-recording appointment

  • Pre-recording appointments are scheduled between October 4-14, 2021.
  • To book your personal recording appointment use the calendar link sent to you via email. If you didn’t receive it contact the organizing office.
  • After booking your appointment you will receive a link to upload your MS PowerPoint presentation. Please do that until at least 24 hrs ahead of your recording appointment.
  • You will also receive a ZOOM Meeting link where the actual pre-recording will take place. A staff member from EANO’s technical partner SteinerLIVE will welcome you, give you some instructions and assist you with the pre-recording. This procedure will ensure a consistent and ideal picture-in-picture recording of all oral talks.
  • During the pre-recording you will also be given a short introduction to the virtual platform, its functionalities and how to move around.

Important guidelines for a successful recording

  • Please remember that the vast majority of the audience is not native English speakers. Speak clearly and slowly (whether or not English is your native language). Plan an average of 1 minute per slide.
  • For best results use a headset.
  • Make sure you have a stable internet connection with a minimum of 5 mbit up-and download speed. If possible, use a wired connection as it is always preferrable to wifi.
  • Make sure there are no avoidable noises (mute your mobile phone, switch off the air condition, …).
  • Make sure there is no strong lighting in the background and your face is lighted equally.

Speaking time

  • The chairpersons of your session will monitor the time and will not allow more time than allotted to your presentation. Remember to keep to the given time when doing your pre-recording to allow enough time for questions and discussion afterwards and some time for the changeover of speakers and chairperson's introduction.
  • Before your pre-recording appointment please rehearse your talk to make sure it will fit comfortably into the available time.
  • Please note that, as a rule, presenters can show a (final) slide with all acknowledgements, however, regarding the short time available, names cannot be read to the audience.

Photographs
Note that your presentation will be converted to a file format making a download impossible. But just like during a physical session it is possible for registered participants to make photographs / screenshots of presentation. If you do not wish any scientific content of your presentation to be photographed, please clearly indicate this on the according slide(s).
