As a guide, a 10 minutes presentation should contain no more than 20 slides. Please avoid text-only and wordy slides that could be replaced by clinical pictures.
If you use a Mac computer, please check the conversion of your file and avoid problems with animations and videos. Avi or other short movies formats are welcome.
Guidelines for Flash presentation
Flash presentations are short powerpoint presentations of 3 mn. The objective is thus to be concise. More details of your work will be given during poster presentations.
