Voting for the poster award is possible directly in the digital poster hall on the conference platform. To vote, you will find a button on the overview image of the respective poster to cast your vote accordingly.

In urgent cases, please contact us via our support hotline: +49 (0)69 75306 775.

Please refer to our guidelines for the presentation of your talk, from which you can find all useful information for the preparation of your presentation. 

Please bring your presentation on a USB stick. For technical reasons, you will not be able to use your own equipment for your presentation. As an on-site author, you will face questions from on-site and online participants.

Please prepare your poster, whether you present it on-site or online, in A0 size - portrait format. There will be on-site poster walls in the conference building for poster authors to hang their printed posters. Please bring your printed poster to the poster show to be able to explain questions on your poster. The material to attach your poster to the poster walls will be provided by our team on site.

In addition, there will be digital poster panels where on-site participants can view the online posters. An exchange between on-site and online participants is possible via the conference platform.

Please review our presentation guidelines, available on the abstract submission page, before preparing your talk. You do not need to upload your presentation in advance. However, if you anticipate any issues with your internet connection, you may submit a pre-recorded video of your presentation, which we will play at the scheduled time.

On the day of your presentation, log in to our conference platform and join the lecture room via Zoom. For optimal performance, we recommend using the Zoom desktop client. If you’re unsure whether your setup (PC, webcam, microphone, screen sharing) is working correctly, take advantage of any breaks to test your Zoom configuration.

By uploading your poster to the conference platform, your poster will also be available for viewing by online participants. In addition, all participants, on-site and online, can vote for your poster at the poster price only in the virtual poster hall.

Please find yourself in the lecture hall already during the break before your session to be conducted and contact our technical staff.

Our technical staff in the lecture room will give you a brief introduction to the technology during the break before your session.

A laptop or tablet and microphone are available to the session chair in each lecture room.

You can switch your microphone on and off using the button on the microphone itself. Please note that the sound is then directly enabled and transmitted to the lecture room as well as to the online meeting.

All participants, whether online or on-site, can ask questions. When moderating the Q&A session, please keep in mind that there should be a balance of online and on-site questioners.

On your laptop or tablet, you can follow the online stream and view messages that participants post online in the chat. In addition, online participants can raise their virtual hand to announce questions. You, as the session chair, would have to read out the questions in the chat, if necessary, or ask the online questioner to turn on their microphone and ask the question themselves. You will learn more about this in the briefing by our technical staff.

On-site questioners must be sure to ask their questions into the microphone that is passed around by our technical staff so that the question can be heard online.

If you are a session chair and carry a cell phone, please switch it to airplane mode, otherwise you may experience noise if the microphone is turned on during the session.

If there is any noise during the lecture or Q&A session, our technical staff will take care of it.

Session chairs will receive a list of which talk will be presented on-site or online.

Please refer to the handout (CV, Abstract) for information on announcing plenary speakers.

As session chair, please ensure that the presentation time is observed.   
Please note that the image transmitted from the lecture room cannot be seen by the online lecturers and that the speaker may therefore have to be informed of the adherence to the lecture time via audio signal (address by you).
