Presenter Instructions

Presenter Instructions

The presentations should be sent to the LOC (ml4astro3@inaf.it) by the specified deadline. For files over 10 MB, such as pre-recorded talks or large presentations, please upload your file to a content-sharing platform (e.g., Google Drive, Dropbox) and provide us with a download link; we’ll handle the transfer to our Google Drive.

  1. Submission Deadline: The submission deadline is Wednesday 26th August 2026 to ensure a smooth setup.

  2. Presentation Format: We recommend PowerPoint presentations since the primary computer in the Aula Prima will be running Windows. PDF presentations will also be accepted.

  3. Backup: We advise presenters to bring a backup of their presentation on a USB stick for any last-minute changes or unforeseen technical issues.

  4. Use of Personal Laptops: While presenters may use their laptops, we highly encourage submitting the presentation beforehand to avoid delays. Please note that compatibility issues between their laptops and our setup may arise, leading to further delays.

  5. Screen Aspect Ratio: The screen aspect ratio will be 16:9 with a resolution of 1920 by 1080p. Please ensure presentations are designed accordingly.

  6. Video and Sound: Videos with sound are supported. Please ensure any embedded videos in the presentation file work properly to avoid technical issues.

  7. Screen Sharing: Presenters wishing to demonstrate software live may either pre-record the demo and show it as an embedded video, or join the active Zoom session and share their screen.

 

Remote Presenter Instructions

  1. Delivery Mode: Remote presenters should join the Zoom channel for their session prior to their allocated time slot. For their talk, they can share their screen and present their talk live. Zoom channel IDs will be published in due course.

  2. Pre-Recorded Talk: In case of technical issues (from both sides), we suggest that remote presenters prepare a pre-recorded talk and submit this to us by the 26th of August 2026.
