HOW TO PREPARE YOUR PRESENTATION FOR THE CONFERENCE
Dear presenter,
we have witnessed a new fashion in conference presentations: oral presentations without a powerpoint and, often, read to the audience. We strongly encourage diversity and different opinions but we also acknowledge that English, though the official language of the conference, is not everybody's mother tongue. We would wildly appreciate, then, the use of a powerpoint (or prezi, or ...) presentation as a visual support to your oral one.
Thanks for your comprehension!
Since we are asking (maybe) for more efforts, we won't charge you with more instructions on how to prepare your power point. Go ahead with your fantasy and just remember to prepare a pdf version of the presentation in case something goes wrong with the on-site PC or MAC during the session.
