Speaker Preparation

The files of the presentations should be uploaded to Indico as early as possible and no later than the day before the presentation. 

General Requirements

  • Slides will use the 16:9 aspect ratio.
  • Presentations must be uploaded to Indico the day before their scheduled time in order to allow verification and transfer to the conference A/V file server system.
  • There will be absolutely no provision for authors to use their personal computers under any circumstances.
  • Each Invited Oral will take 20 minutes
  • Each Oral Poster Presentation will take 5 minutes

 

Once the presentations have been uploaded to the conference server, they can be checked on the conference computers provided in the Speaker Preparation Room (PDR7). 

Slides that have been successfully submitted and presented will be published in the web version of the proceedings without further action on the part of the speaker.

Please, do not hesitate to contact the Presentation Manager (denise@anl.gov) for any questions you may have on how to prepare your oral presentation.

If you have any special requirements concerning visual aids, including movies and/or audio, please contact the LINAC’24 Editorial Team in advance of the conference via email to LINAC24SPC@anl.gov or prior to the presentation in the Speaker Preparation Room as soon as possible.
