We recommend a 16:9 aspect ratio for presentation slides, with no restrictions on the number of slides. For Windows data, please bring a USB memory stick (it is advisable to confirm compatibility on another PC in advance and bring a backup). If your presentation includes videos or audio, please bring your own PC. Macintosh users should also bring their own PC.

For presentations using media brought in, please ensure the data is created with Windows 10 or later and Microsoft PowerPoint 2016 or later. To prevent character corruption, please use fonts standard to Windows 10. The following fonts are recommended:

  • Times New Roman, Arial, Arial Black, Arial Narrow, Century, Century Gothic

You will operate your presentation from the PC set up at the podium. After your presentation, the presentation data will be responsibly deleted by the secretariat.

For Presenters Bringing Their Own PCs

Please ensure you have an AC adapter ready. The venue will provide an HDMI cable connector. Please check the shape of the external monitor output port on your laptop, as standard PCs may require a specific connection terminal. Verify at the PC center that your laptop is outputting correctly to an external monitor. Since the setup varies by PC and OS, please confirm at the PC center.

Please disable screensavers and power-saving settings in advance. If you have a password on startup, please disable it beforehand. As a precaution, always bring a backup of your data.
