Since you will be giving your presentation on-site using a presentation computer provided by us, we ask you to use only standard fonts such as Arial, Geneva, Helvetic or Lucida Sans in your presentation. Otherwise, we cannot exclude the possibility of unintentional text displacement in your presentation on the presentation computer.

  • If you would like to play a video during your presentation, you will need to embed it into your presentation slides. If you need help embedding a video file, please have a look here.
• On-site: During the break, before the session with your presentation, you can transfer the presentation directly to the presentation computer and start it from there. Or, at the start of your presentation, you can insert the USB stick into the presentation computer and launch the presentation directly from the USB stick.
