Register for the 'Best presentation course'

Giving a talk in front of a large audience is challenging and requires adapting our usual way of presenting research!

To help you master this challenge, Frédéric Schütz, SIB Group Leader and trainer at the SIB Training Group, will give a 2.5h virtual course on ‘best practices’ for giving and structuring presentations. The course is free of charge and we encourage you to attend in case your abstract was selected for an oral presentation. 

PART 1 - Tuesday 18 August

PART 2 - Tuesday 2 September

Register here

The course will be organized only if at least 10 participants registered.

Slide preparation and submission

  • Aspect ratio: 16:9.
  • Formats: PowerPoint (.pptx) 
  • Design: ensure slides are colour-blind friendly. For guidance, see section of the poster guidelines.
  • Slides submission: all presentations must be provided to the Speakers' Service Centre 12 hours prior to your scheduled presentation time. Please name your file as follows: DATE_TIME_SURNAME (e.g., 9SEPTEMBER_0830-1000_MILLER).
  • Alternative submission: possibility to email your slides to solange.guye@sib.swiss and cc ccb-ssc@hotmail.com instead of delivering it in person to the Speakers' Service Centre. This must be done 24 hours prior to your scheduled presentation time.
  • For pitches including videos, submit separate mp4 files named DATE_TIME_SURNAME_VIDEO-FILE-NAME (e.g., 9SEPTEMBER_0830-1000_MILLER_Video-1).


Important information: the speakers and presenting authors should arrive at the meeting room 15 minutes before the beginning of the session and introduce themselves to the Session Chairs. It is very important that, for a smooth development of the conference, all speakers and presenting authors respect the pre-assigned presentation time. You can check the full agenda here: agenda
