Helpful instructions to prepare oral presentation and poster presentation

 

Pitch sessions + Posters helpful instructions

- The amphitheater is equipped with a computer and a projection system. To secure presentations, we already asked you to upload your slides in a dedicated section

For your oral presentation, you will use a PPT or PDF format, your slideshow will be necessary displayed with the conference computer (Windows)

Just in case, please, prepare and bring a USB flash drive with your presentation files.

Poster session 

- Poster presentations linked to a pitch will be displayed in the entrance hall (the same area as the coffee breaks). Only posters corresponding to pitches scheduled for that day will be exhibited

- Poster session for Innovative Research in GNC/V&V will take place at the cafeteria (during the cocktail dinner)

- The dimensions of your poster should be A0, portrait orientation (841 x 1189 mm).

- Your poster includes a title, the author(s), affiliation(s), and a description of the research highlighting the major elements that are covered in the abstract.

- Make sur your lettering is neatly done and is large enough to be read from a distance.

- At your arrival at ISAE-SUPAERO, the welcome desk will provide you information of the location of the boards and give you magnets to hang your poster.

- Before leaving ISAE-SUPAERO, you must take your poster with you and return magnets to the welcome desk.
