Oral presentation

Your 10 minute presentation will be presented according to the schedule and will be filmed to be made available to registered attendees for a limited time period after the confrence. We kindly ask that all presenters submit their slides in advance of the conference.

Slides: Prepare your slides using the presentation template saving the file as a PDF or Powerpoint. If you are creating slides in Google Keynote or another application, please convert them to MS powerpoint or PDF and test thoroughly before submission.

Those attending virtually will need to submit a recording of their 10-minute presentation (to be shown on the conference day), with authors required to log-in to answer questions and participate in a live Q&A via the virtual platform. Presenters are required to submit their pre-recorded talk to the organisers ahead of the conference (31st August 2023). A guide to help you create your recording using Zoom is available here, however other methods are available. The video can be supplied in mp4 or wmv format.

Poster presentation

All posters will be printed at A0. The posters and poster-pitch presentations will be displayed in the on-site exhibition space, given special attention during dedicated poster sessions.

Please prepare your poster using the ICEC poster template.pptx saving the file as a PDF or Powerpoint. 

Size: A0 portrait, see poster template

Content: title, author and affiliation, objectives, methodology, results and conclusions.

Appearance: focus on illustrations, we would prefer graphs over tables, with presentations from left to right, top to bottom.

The pre-recorded one minute pitch presentation of your poster should include one slide, showing both speaker and slide simultaneously. The video can be supplied in mp4 or wmv format.

Submission instructions

All presentation files should be submitted via the submission portal (see detailed instructions below).

Please name your title using the following naming convention surname-abstract_title-ICEC2023-presentation. (for those submitting posters/papers please replace the last word with poster/paper).
