Please be aware that the conference computers in the session halls are equipped with at least Office 2016.

For presentations that include video films within PowerPoint, it is advisable to check the compatibility in the presentation hall where your lecture is scheduled during a coffee or lunch break before your session, ensuring this is done at least 3 hours before the session begins.

In such cases, confirm that your laptop has a VGA socket for external signal and verify it first with the technical department in the presentation hall where your lecture is scheduled, during the coffee or lunch break prior to your session, at least 60 minutes before the start of the session.

In such cases, please inform the operators in the session hall where your lecture is taking place as soon as you arrive, and later on test during the coffee or lunch break prior to your session, at least 60 minutes before the start of the session.
