If you do not have a stable internet connection
In order to save bandwidth and processing power, close all unnecessary applications on your device before your presentation starts. If your connection is very unstable, we recommend you pre-record your presentation. There are many ways to record a presentation on your computer and then save an mp4 video file. During your scheduled presentation, we will play your recorded talk. You will still need to join Zoom to answer questions at the end of your presentation. Please note, we need any pre-recorded content at least 24 hours in advance of your talk.
Presentation slides
Upload your slides to your speaker account 24 hours ahead of your talk. This ensures the technician will have a copy as a back-up. If you are unable to make this deadline, please inform events@ecmwf.int as soon as possible with the time your presentation will be available.Note: We plan to publish your slides in PDF format after your talk. If you would like to provide a modified version for publication, please inform events@ecmwf.int

Please keep to time, noting the previous paragraph on 'Questions from the audience'. The session chair may interrupt you if you overrun. Whilst at an in-person event, speakers may be able to stretch the timing; that is not the case in the virtual world. The virtual audience will be tuning in to see what they need as specified in the programme and will expect us to be on time.
