Audio-visual Guidelines

All session rooms come equipped with a data projectors. They are also equipped with dedicated computers. As a result you will not be permitted to use your own laptops for presentations.

We recommend that Powerpoint files are saved as Powerpoint 2003 or 2007. If the presentation has several formulas, we recommend that you either insert those as graphics in your Powerpoint OR prepare your presentation as a PDF. Powerpoint 2007 and Adobe Acrobat Reader will be available on each dedicated computer.

In the event of a AV failure, we will do our best to assist, however you should be prepared to give your talk without slides. It is also prudent to bring paper copies of your presentation for distribution.

Submitting Presentation Files

Powerpoints and PDFs

All presentations can be submitted to congress@healtheconomics.org.

There are a limited number of computers available on site for submission and testing, however we recommend emailing your submission. Note to ensure that sessions start on time, all presentations will need to be pre-loaded before your presentation day as we will have a limited ability to deal with changes during the conference. You can bring a copy with you just in case.
