Speakers' Check-In
Visit the Speakers' Check-In before your presentation.
In all cases, speakers must check their presentations at the Speakers' Check-In upon arrival to ensure that fonts are displayed correctly and that films can be played. You can check or edit your presentation up to one hour before your session starts.
The Speakers' Check-In is located in the foyer on the first floor of the ICM (International Congress Center Messe München).
Please note
- Due to time limitations, it is not possible to connect the speaker's laptop/hardware device for the lecture directly in the conference room.
- It is also not possible to upload presentations directly to the conference room using the installed presentation laptop.
- For this reason, all presentations must be uploaded in advance to the presentations management system of Neumann & Müller.
Presentation technology
The standard AV meeting package available in each session room includes an HD video projector, a 16:9 screen, a laser pointer and a lectern microphone. Microsoft Windows 10 with PowerPoint 2021 will be installed on the presentation laptops in the conference rooms.
Guidelines Presentation Formats
- We recommend PowerPoint Presentation for all speakers with a slide ratio 16:9.
- It is also possible to use PDF, Word and Excel files for the presentation.
- For video we prefer mp4 file container with a h264 codec. It is also possible to use (.wmv), (.avi) or (.mov), so they will run properly on the computers provided.
- Apple ProRes videos are not supported by Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows!
- There is no Internet available on the presentation computers.
- On the presentation laptops in the conference rooms Microsoft Windows 10 with Power Point 2021will be installed.
If you need to use different presentation software, please contact Neumann & Müller, who are responsible for the presentation management system.
