Instructions for Authors

Audiovisual Equipment / Speakers Service Center (SSC)
The Speakers Service Centre (SSC) is centrally located on the ground level of the International Congress Center Munich.

All lecture rooms will be equipped with a PC and a data projector for PowerPoint presentations only. Presentations must be handed in via floppy disk, CD-ROM, zip drive, memory stick or via your own laptop before your lecture.

It is essential for the smooth running of the congress that all speakers hand in their Power-Point presentations at least one hour before the beginning of the session. Enough time must be allowed to check the presentation carefully and for the staff to enter the data into the system. Speakers will have the opportunity to check their presentations on PCs available in the SSC.
