Rehearsal / audition

Rehearsal objectives: to enable the speaker to rehearse the report and adjust it for the audience; in case of overlapping material of different reports, adjust the reports so that they complement each other; Help program committee formulate conference program grid.

Formats and Alternatives
Rehearsal usually goes on Skype. You can share the screen or send slides in advance, which the rest will flip through at home.
Instead of conference call, you can send videos or slides with the voice-over.

Slides and Timing

For Rehearsal, a draft version of the slides is suitable, because at the end you may want to change something in the structure of the report.

You can use slides 16:9 – this format of panels will be at the conference.

Timing of standard talk, unless otherwise agreed: 25 min. per report + 5 min. for questions (or, for example, 28 minutes for a report, 2 minutes for a question).
For blitz: 8-10 minutes.

For master-classes, 40 to 90 minutes can be allocated on the main day of the conference. Longer workshops can be arranged on an extra day.

We encourage you to use our templates for your slides:
template in .pptx
– or template in .odp.

If you prefer to use your own template, please include one of the conference logos on the title page (click to enlarge).
