Presentation preparation
Your talk should be 15-20 minutes and will be followed by 10-15 minutes of Q&A.
Presentation slides
Upload your slides to your speaker account two days 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.intPlease allow 5 minutes within your time slot for questions.
Recording
The live stream will be recorded and will be published online for viewing on demand. If you have any issue with this, contact events@ecmwf.int
...
The event audience will be able to submit questions and comments during your presentation via a chat facility, and the session chair will read the questions to you when you finish your presentation. Any questions that are not covered in the live Q&A will be posted in the “comments” at the bottom of your dedicated presentation page on the microsite. You will receive an email when a comment or question is posted on your presentation page. Please reply to these questions during the week to continue discussions and maintain the interaction at the event.
The importance of time
Please A countdown timer will be displayed in Zoom; 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.
