Important note for Macintosh users: In order to use MAC presentations on a PC compatible computer, please note the following instructions while preparing your presentation prior to uploading in the lecture hall to avoid last minute problems of incompatibility:

• Please note that the conference has no support for MAC presentations and, therefore, we ask speakers to convert their presentation to PowerPoint and test it on a PC computer before arriving to the Meeting.

• Insert pictures as JPG files (and not TIF, PNG or PICT – these images will not be visible on a PowerPoint based PC).
