Presentation Guidelines

IMC’23 will be held primarily in person. Only under force majeure an online participation will be permitted.

Video Streaming

The IMC’23 main track will be live streamed via Zoom. There will be a single Zoom link for each day of the conference. Participants can simply join this to view the presentations. The access code will be provided to registrants via email.

Interaction and Q&A

Remote interaction will be underpinned by the IMC2023 Slack Workspace. We encourage participants to make extensive use of Slack to engage with each other. Q&A for each presentation will also be managed via Slack. At the end of each paper presentation, the session chair will invite questions. Online participants can input their questions to the corresponding Slack channel. These channels can also be used for wider discussion about presentations. Note, the Zoom chat channel will not be monitored for questions: all questions should take place exclusively via Slack.

Note: The slack instructions will be provided to registrants via email.

Instructions for presenters

Presentations will be projected to the local audience via a laptop provided by the organizers. This laptop screen will be replicated for remote attendance on Zoom. Personal laptops will not be allowed.

All authors must provide their presentation in PDF or PowerPoint format (PDF is preferred) no later than Friday October, 20 at 2PM CEST. Each author will be allocated with a 15 min slot including Q&A.

Presenters can also provide a longer (20 min) pre-recorded video of their presentation in MPEG format no later than Friday October, 20 at 2PM CEST.

The video and PDF/PPT presentation are to be uploaded on OneDrive. Presenters can upload their files as many times as they want before the deadline. The most recent file will be taken for projection. The access code will be provided to registrants via email.

The filename of the video and presentation must start with the paper id of the presentation and followed by any arbitrary annotation using the format <paper_id>-<annotation>.mpg, e.g., 42-instructions_to_authors.mpg and <paper_id>-<annotation>.<extension>, e.g., 42-instructions_to_authors.ppt.

Additional instructions for remote presenters

Given the tight schedule and to avoid inevitable glitches, remote presenters will not be allowed to present their slides live. Instead, they will provide a pre-recorded video that we will play locally during the session and broadcast on Zoom. After the projection, authors will interact with the public on Zoom using their camera and microphone plus the IMC conference Slack channels.

Remote presenters will provide a pre-recorded video of their presentation in MPEG format no later than Friday October, 20 at 2PM CEST. The duration of the presentation will be no more than 12 min to leave room for questions.

The presentation video is to be uploaded on OneDrive. Presenters can upload presentations as many times as they want before the deadline. The most recent file will be taken for projection. The access code will be provided to registrants via email.

The filename of the video must start with the paper id of the presentation and followed by any arbitrary annotation using the format <paper_id>-<annotation>.mpg, e.g., 42-instructions_to_authors.mpg.

In case remote presenters have issues with their microphone, the chairperson will relay questions and answers on the slack channel of the conference.
