Send your PowerPoint presentation in 16:9 size and PowerPoint format (not PDF) to mirissa@fsel.ca. We need to test to ensure that the presentation retains its integrity. If you have embedded videos or very large files (larger than 2MB), please contact Mirissa for alternate instructions.
Oral presentations are allocated 30 minutes. Keep 5 minutes for Q&A, so allow 20-25 minutes of content.
Oral sessions are run in blocks of one hour, so please be ready to take your spot promptly to avoid creating delays.
There is no formal template for PowerPoint. However, we use the larger size format.
