How should I prepare for my Oral Presentation?
Oral presentations at the conference should last 8 minutes, followed by a 2-minute Q&A session with the moderator, audience, or fellow presenters. Prepare your PowerPoint slides to fit this duration. Upload your presentation to the EIP Speaker Resource Center when prompted. For digital presentations, ensure you have a computer equipped with a camera, audio, microphone, and a stable internet connection for optimal video quality. Your presentation should be ready to display in presentation mode and shared with attendees. Your presentation time will be scheduled according to your time zone, either in the morning or late afternoon. If this timing is inconvenient, you can submit a pre-recorded presentation.

We'll send you login details for the platform, where you can access instructions, your ePosters, and editing templates. Please have your ePoster ready 15 days before the conference begins.
