Oral presentations times:
Presenters must follow the assigned times to ensure the eight concurrent sessions remain synchronised. Loud music will play during the 2 minute transition to ensure speakers cannot speak overtime. The next speaker’s time-slot starts as soon as the music stops.
To enable the staff to handle the technical aspects in an efficient way, all presentations must be prepared according to the guidelines below. It is essential that:
Prepare your presentation and in addition to uploading it, you should save a back-up version on a USB memory stick and bring it with you just in case.
Technical details
Video and sound
Technical assistance
There will be a congress volunteer with a computer next to the registration area to help if you have technical problems with your presentation. Please contact the info desk well in advance of your presentation if you need assistance.
There will be two poster sessions during ESEB2019 on two evenings (17:30-19:30), after the parallel symposia:
Poster Session 1 on Tuesday, 20 August
Poster Session 2 on Friday, 23 August
Kindly check your poster session in the programme on the congress website. Poster boards will be marked with codes which you can check in the programme. Poster presenters are required to be by their poster during the poster session designated to their poster.
Poster Session 1:
Posters can be mounted on Monday, 19 Aug between 15:00-18:00 or on Tuesday morning, 20 Aug. Posters in Poster Session 1 must be dismounted by the presenter at latest during the last break on Wednesday, 21 Aug.
Poster Session 2:
Posters can be mounted on Thursday morning, 22 Aug and must be dismounted by the presenter by the end of the lunch break on Saturday, 24 Aug.
Please note that the poster presenters are responsible of dismounting their posters. No poster will be retained nor sent to their owner after the congress.
The size of the poster board is 88 cm (width) x 118 cm (height) and is thus suitable for A0 size posters in portrait orientation (see illustration). Pins will be provided at the poster area.

Session Rooms
Each session room is equipped with the following items:
Be in the session room at least 10 minutes before the session starts to meet the chair of the session and familiarize yourself with the equipment in the session room.
In addition to the symposium organizer(s), each lecture room is attended by two congress volunteers and one computer technician to help make your presentation session run as smoothly as possible.
The lecture room technician will ensure that your presentation is launched prior to the commencement of your speaking slot. You can change slides forward/backward using the remote control and the same device includes a laser-pointer. There is no computer at the front of the lecture room, presentations are controlled by the technician in the back of the room. There is a computer monitor so you can follow your slides and see your PowerPoint notes.
Presentation
Regardless of how strong your voice is, you MUST use the microphone in order the presentation to be audible on the video stream/recording. You should have a belt or pocket, where the headset microphone transmitter can be hanged.
We recommend that speakers introduce themselves to the symposium hosts prior to their session commencing or inform them earlier if you intend to appear later. This is also recommendable if you suspect they may need guidance in pronouncing your name.
Question time
The symposium organisers co-ordinate question time. Question askers are required to use microphones, so their questions are heard on the video stream. We recommend keeping answers brief in order to enable the opportunity for several questions in the allotted question period.
Streaming
In order to encourage open science, and to allow people not able to attend ESEB2019 to have access to presentations, we are providing presenters the opportunity for their presentations to be live streamed and also available for viewing following the conference. All presenters are asked if they do not wish to give permission to allow the streaming and recording of their talk on the presentation upload form. Only those who have given the permission will be streamed/recorded.
ESEB encourages all presenters to use this opportunity for publicizing their research more broadly!
There is a marked section in which the presenters should move to be visible in the live stream. Question askers from the audience will not be visible (only audio) in the stream/recording.
A link to follow all live streams of the presentation rooms will be presented before the congress.
The streaming is produced by RajuLive.

Following the lead of Evolution 2019 (and also using their instructions here), ESEB encourages you to consider archiving your poster as it makes it publicly available and citeable by yourself and others. It also allows others to easily download it for later reference and it may provide increased visibility for your work (e.g. to those not attending the conference or who were there but missed it among the hundreds of others).
ESEB suggest figshare as the platform to do this. Research deposited on figshare is stored under Creative Commons licenses that allow you to retain ownership and get credit for your work. More details about their licensing options are available here. Depositing to a common host also allows people to easily browse all meeting posters on a single site via a common tag (i.e. ESEB2019). Simple instructions on how to archive your poster on figshare (for free) are available here. These instructions also explain how you can easily generate a QR code that you can include on your printed poster that will allow users to directly access it on figshare simply by scanning it.
