C. To Presenters:
To Speakers and Presenters
Regarding Presentation Data:

As a general rule, presentations will be conducted using on-site PCs.
You may bring either your presentation data or your own PC. However, if your presentation includes videos or you are using a Macintosh, please ensure to bring your own PC.

Please submit your presentation data to the "PC Reception" at least 1 hour before the scheduled start of your assigned presentation (20 minutes before the first program in the morning).

If you are scheduled for an oral presentation but cannot attend in person, please send the MP4 data using the method described below. We will broadcast it at the scheduled presentation time.

  1. Creating Presentation Data:

    Use Microsoft PowerPoint 2016 or later to create and save your presentation data.
    Create slides with a size ratio of 16:9.
    Use fonts that are standard in the Windows version of Microsoft PowerPoint (MS/MSP Gothic, MS/MSP Mincho, Arial, Times New Roman, Century, etc.).
    If you use special fonts, they may be replaced with alternative fonts, causing layout issues. If using special fonts, convert them to images and paste them as objects.
    For data with embedded video files, ensure the video data is stored in the designated video folder. Also, check compatibility on another PC in advance.
    In case of audio or video output, please inform the PC reception staff. Whether bringing your PC or using on-site PCs:
    (1) Use up-to-date antivirus software to check for virus infections through media.
    (2) Bring a backup of your data in case of unforeseen circumstances.
    (3) Note that the use of "Presenter Tools" is not possible.

  2. If you bring your own data:

    If you are bringing your presentation data, please bring it on a USB or CD-R. Make sure that the USB or CD-R has undergone a virus check using the latest antivirus software. We will responsibly delete the data after the conference.

  3. If you bring your own PC:

    If you bring your own PC, it must be a model that operates on Windows 7 or later, or a Macintosh with HDMI or Mini D-Sub15-pin monitor output terminals (Note: Thin PCs may have different output terminal standards). If the output standard is different, please bring the necessary connecting terminals. Additionally, use USB ports (Type-A) for connecting peripherals. If your PC does not have a USB port, bring the appropriate conversion connector (e.g., MacBook USB Type-C to USB Type-A converter).
    Bringing a power adapter is essential, as presenting on battery power can lead to issues.
    Disable features that may interfere with your presentation, such as sleep mode, screensavers, and power-saving functions, beforehand.
    After conducting external output and operational checks at the PC reception, bring your PC to the venue operator 20 minutes before your presentation. The PC reception will not hold PCs.

  4. Entering the Lecture Hall:

    The next speaker should take their seat at the next speaker's seat on the left front side of the venue 10 minutes before their presentation.
