Oral Presentation Instructions
Duration
Oral presentations must be 10-12 minutes (speakers will be stopped at 12 minutes) followed by questions to a maximum of 15 minutes total. This will include the changeover of speakers, so you will not have slides available for the last 1 minute of questions.
Language
All presentations must be delivered in English.
Presentation Format
- PowerPoint (preferred) and PDF presentations only
- Aspect ratio: 16:9
- Save your presentation in PPTX format (not PPSX or .ppt) or PDF
- Presentations must be run from the podium PCs not personal laptops
- Presentations must be uploaded via the speaker ready room at least one full session, or 2 hours before (whichever is longer) in advance of when you are presenting
Design Guidelines
- Avoid non-standard fonts unless embedded and included in your uploaded presentations
- If you wish to use an ISBS 2026 logo within your presentation, please see the files at the end of this page
Video
- Where you can, embed videos within the presentation to avoid as many codec issues as possible
- Limit individual video sizes to under 100 MB if possible
- Embedded videos must be tested on Windows PCs and we recommend testing once uploaded onto a university compute in the speaker ready room. Technical support is limited within the sessions and they need to run to time.
Apple/Mac/Linux Users
- Always test your presentation on a PC with Microsoft Office before arriving and on the University computers in the speaker ready room
- Save the file with a .pptx or .pdf extension to ensure compatibility
Poster Presentation Instructions
- The poster size is A0 (841 x 1189 mm) and there is no set template
- The posters should be oriented in portrait
- You can either bring your own printed poster or we can provide a FREE poster printing service if you send us a completed poster by 23:59 UTC on Sunday the 12th of July
- Further details will be provided on the conference website nearer the time for free poster printing
- There will be no ‘oral presentation’ associated with the poster, but each poster will be alloacted a specific poster session (day) in which the poster should be presented
