Preparation of presentation slides
In addition to the presentation source file we require a PDF file for inclusion in the conference proceedings.
In both PDF, PowerPoint and LibreOffice Impress files be sure that all fonts are embedded. No external resources (like linked, not embedded, images) should be used.

Speakers are required to upload their presentation in exactly the same way as their paper contributions.
The files of the presentations should be uploaded to Indico as early as possible and no later than half a day before the presentation time. Files must be named with the programme code followed by “_talk”, for example:
- MOPA999_talk.pptx
- MOPA999_talk.pdf
