We kindly ask presenting authors to submit their presentation slides at our drop-in station. The drop-in station will be located in Logomo Front Hall, near the registration desk. On Monday the station is open from 16.00 to 18.00. From Tuesday to Friday the station is open from 8.00 until the last parallel sessions.

Please upload your presentation well in advance – preferably the day before, and by latest the same morning!

We recommend having your slides on a flash drive with you.
