Presentation Guidelines

Please read the presentation guidelines carefully. The IEEE EMBS ISC 2019 consist of two types of presentations. The details of both are listed below.

Oral Presentation Session

  • The total time allotted to each speaker is 12 minutes. You should plan to speak for 10 minutes and leave 2 minutes for questions.
  • Kindly adhere to the allotted time limit.
  • Presentations must be saved in a “.pptx” or “.pdf” format.
  • Show no more than 1 slide per minute of speaking time. This means approximately 8-10 slides MAXIMUM for the 10 minutes presentation at the symposium. Remember, the last 2 minutes of the presentation are for questions from the audience.
  • We recommend a presentation format of 16:9, 4:3 is also acceptable.
  • Make the letters on your slides BIG ENOUGH. Suggested minimum font is 14.
  • Put no more than 12 lines of text or 4 curves on any slide.
    Avoid lengthy tabulations of numerical data and limit equations to those for which the terms can be properly defined.
  • Your audience needs time to interpret the data that you present. While you are very familiar with the data displayed, the audience is not. Describe the abscissa, coordinates, units and the legend for each curve.
  • When you display a curve, tell the audience what they should be looking for in order to grasp the point you are trying to make. The audience will not have time to figure it out for themselves.
  • Use repetition in your talk to ensure the facts are understood by the audience.
  • In addition to the body of the talk, present an introduction and a summary or conclusion.
  • Include only information or data that can be properly explained in the allotted time.
  • Repeat any questions that are posed to you. If a question requires a lengthy reply, suggest that you and the person asking the question meet after the presentation. Then take the discussion out of the meeting room.
  • The presenting author would need to either send in their final presentations to embs.magdeburg@gmail.com along with their 3 digit submission ID.
  • All submissions need to be sent in latest by 23:59 CET, Friday, 15th November 2019

Ignite + Poster Presentation Session

  • The Ignite Session will give you the opportunity to present your work in a three (3) minute oral presentation.
  • Your Ignite Session will take place the same day as your poster presentation, immediately preceding your scheduled poster presentation
  • Each presenter needs to prepare a presentation consisting strictly of no more than 3 slides (Introduction and Motivation, Methods and Materials, Results)
  • After the IGNITE session, poster presenters will have to go to the poster hall and stand by their posters. This presence is mandatory, and there will be refreshments in the poster hall to create and exciting and productive atmosphere of scientific interchange.
  • Presentations must be saved in a “.pptx” or “.pdf” format.
  • The presenting author would need to either send in their final presentations to embs.magdeburg@gmail.com along with their 3 digit submission ID.
  • All presentation submissions need to be sent in latest by 23:59 CET, Friday, 15th November 2019
  • Posters need to be printed (A0 page size) and carried by the authors themselves to the venue.
  • Conference volunteers would assist the authors in hanging up their posters at the venue.
