Presentation Upload Instructions
The presentation uploading feature is now open – you can access it by logging into your author account at https://www.xcdsystem.com/cscec/abstract/index.cfm?ID=FXRfhmz.
After logging in, please click on the ‘PowerPoint Presentation’ button. This feature will be available until May 23, 2025.
​
After this, you will be required to upload your presentation in the Speaker Ready Room at the conference venue before your presentation time.
Important! No speaker will be allowed to use their own laptop in the session rooms. If you wish to review your presentation, you will be able to do so in the Speaker Ready Room.
Presentation Guidelines & Tips
You will have 15 minutes total to present your paper – the suggested breakdown is 12 minutes to present, 2 minutes for questions, and 1 minute for set-up.
​
Please do not try to present your entire paper. Your goal should be to entice the audience to read your paper – show them just the highlights and avoid going into detail. A good guideline is one slide for every minute or 12 slides in total.
Use large readable fonts and do not put too much information on the slides. The session chairs will end your presentation if it goes over time, so please make sure your presentation fits the allotted time.
Presentation Templates
Please use the presentation template provided, and 16:9 format (not 4:3).

Please note: It is critical to keep concurrent sessions running on time to enable delegates to move from one session to the next. Presentations will occur at the time scheduled and will not be moved ahead or adjusted so please do not ask the Session Chair to make exceptions.
