Oral Presentation Guidelines

Home Oral Presentation Guidelines

Oral Presentation General Information:

  • All presenters are required to register.
  • Rehearse your presentation beforehand. Session moderators will hold you to your allotted time.
  • Dress Code: Attire is business formal.
  • If you are unable to present at your assigned date and time and need to send an alternate to present on your behalf, please inform the IUHPE 2025 Conference Secretariat  at speaker@iuhpe2025-abudhabi.com immediately. The replacement author must be approved by the Organizing Committee Chair and is required to complete a financial disclosure form.
  • Speaker Lounge is available for you during the 3 days Congress.


Presentation Slide Requirements:

  • Kindly use IUHPE 2025 provided Powerpoint Template.
  • The presentation format is optimized for PowerPoint, whether created on a PC or Mac. We recommend all PPT files be converted to the PPTX format.
    • Keynote, PDF, and Prezi files are not supported.
  • When presenting patient data and health information (including photos), all presenters must be compliant with informed consent regarding human subjects.
  • You must secure any third-party permissions necessary for content that is not your own, original work.
  • If the abstract has been previously published, authors must indicate the date and publication on at least one slide.
  • Note: Slides will automatically be formatted on site to allow the display of open captions below the presentation.
  • If you need to make changes to a presentation that you already submitted, you will need to send an email to speaker@iuhpe2025-abudhabi.com


On the Day of Oral Presentation:

  • Arrive early morning during the day of your speech and make your way to the Speaker Lounge where you can collect your speaker badge and check your presentation slides and other needful.
  • Arrive at the designated Conference room at least 15 minutes before the start of your session (not your talk) and introduce yourself as a speaker to the audiovisual technician and moderator(s). Please sit near the stage to ease the transition between talks.
  • Ask the AV technician to go over the setup and to provide instructions on the use of the speaker timer.
  • It is important that all speakers stay on time. Chairs have been instructed to stop you from speaking if you go over the allotted time.
  • At the end of your presentation, the display will return to the list of presenters in that session.


Multimedia Considerations for Oral Presentation:

  • Presenters: Make your presentations compatible with on-site audio/visual specifications.
  • All screens will be 16:9 widescreen format, not 4:3. Computers and projectors will be configured for 1280 x 720 resolution.
  • Be sure to format your slide template before preparing your presentation. If you convert an existing presentation to the 16:9 format, your text, videos, and photos may appear stretched and will need to be resized or re-entered.
