Presentation slots are 15 minutes long (12 minutes for the presentation & 3 minutes Q&A). Please structure your presentation according to these time limitations.

Questions can be issued either by physical attendees using microphones provided by the venue, or through Discord (these will be read out to you by an SV or session chair).

Please upload your presentation at the latest on the day prior to your scheduled talk, using the form link sent to you in the author instructions email, to allow the session chair enough time to check everything and download the presentation on the podium laptop. If you have not received the author instructions email, please contact the general chairs by email.

Virtual Presenters

Poster (LBW) & Demo Presenters

Physical Presenters

You are expected to present your work in person and within 1 minute during the madness session. Your 2 slides will be pre-loaded on the laptop provided by the venue. If you haven’t done so already, please upload your 2-slide presentation using the form link sent to you in the author instructions email, to allow the session chair enough time to check everything and download the presentation on the podium laptop.

Also, you’re expected to be physically present near your poster or demo during the morning coffee breaks on 27, 28, and 29 September and during the dedicated demo/poster session on the 28th (4:30 - 5:30 pm EEST).

If possible, please keep an eye on your poster/demo Discord channel in case you receive questions from a remote attendee. If you would like to set up a voice chat about your work with remote participants, the poster/demo Discord channels are voice enabled.

Please note we do not have dedicated devices for you to use to engage with Discord. You can use your mobile or laptop computer for this purpose (headphones and microphone recommended).

Virtual Presenters

To ensure a smooth running of the madness session, we will show the 1-minute video you provided on PCS. You do not need to present live during this session.

Depending on your timezone, please try to be available on your dedicated Discord channel during the morning coffee-breaks on 27, 28, and 29 September, and during the dedicated demo/poster session on the 28th (4:30 - 5:30 pm EEST).

The poster/demo Discord channels are voice channels - please ensure that you have a working microphone and have tested its functionality with Discord, before joining. Please be prepared to receive and to reply to participants’ questions both through text and voice.
