INSTRUCTIONS FOR SPEAKERS

Submit your presentation in advance
Submit your presentation in advance and you will not need to visit the Speaker Service Desk to submit it on site. Before submitting your file, please name it using the following format: day.room.time.surname (separated by full stops), e.g. Wednesday.Room1.04.14.Smith.

Submit your presentation on site
If you choose not to submit your presentation in advance, you can bring it on a USB stick. We recommend that you check that the file has been transferred to the USB stick correctly. Your first slide should display your name and the title of your presentation. Please see the PowerPoint template for the first slide below.

We ask you to submit your material to the Speaker Service Desk at least two hours before your presentation. Technicians are available at the Speaker Service Desk to assist you if needed. From there, your presentation will be sent to the correct room at the correct time.

All rooms are equipped with a projector, and PowerPoint is installed on the computers. We ask you to use the standard fonts included in the Office package. If you use other fonts, please ensure that these are also supplied separately on the disk.

We ask that your first slide includes your name, the title of your presentation and any conflicts of interest. For the best display quality, we recommend a 16:9 aspect ratio.

You can download a PowerPoint template here. You can also find our logo here if you simply wish to add it to your existing slides.

Questions from the audience can be submitted via the Vårmötet's own app. The questions will appear on a screen for the moderators, who will read them aloud.

The app also includes an audience polling function. As a speaker, you can prepare questions well in advance and inform the audience at the start of your presentation that they will need the app to participate in the voting. Participants vote using their mobile phones.

Conflict of interest
As a speaker, you must disclose any affiliations with, and financial support received from, the pharmaceutical industry or manufacturers of medical equipment that are relevant to your presentation.

Speaker presentations
Our aim is for all speakers to make their presentation slides available to our participants. As in previous years, all presentations will be recorded on video and audio. The recordings will be uploaded to a private YouTube page, accessible only to those who have received the link via Vårmötet.

Unless you inform us otherwise, your slides will be made available to participants. If you do not wish your slides to be published online, please indicate this when registering for Vårmötet.

Bring your presentation on your own computer
If you choose to use your own computer, we ask you to arrive at the Speaker Service Desk at least two hours before your presentation. This will give us time to check the resolution and screen outputs.

If you have a newer computer that does not have a standard output (HDMI), please bring the appropriate adapters, as otherwise we will not be able to assist you.

If you have a Mac, you must bring an adapter that converts the output to the standard VGA format.
