Speaker Preparation Guidelines
If you have any special requirements concerning visual aids, including movies and/or audio, please contact IPAC’22 Editorial Team in advance of the conference via email to proceeding@slri.or.th, or prior to the presentation in the Speaker Ready room as soon as possible.
NOTE:
- Slides will use the 16:9 aspect ratio.
- Presentations must be uploaded at least half a day before their scheduled time in order to allow verification and transfer to the conference A/V file server system.
- There will be absolutely no provision for authors to use their personal computers under any circumstances.

Once the presentations have been uploaded to the conference server, they can be checked on the conference computers provided in the Speaker Ready room.
Slides that have been successfully captured will be published in the web version of the proceedings without further action on the part of the speaker.
Please do not hesitate to contact the Presentation Manager for any questions you may have on how to prepare your oral presentation.

Upload of Presentations
Speakers are required to upload their presentation in exactly the same way as their contributions.
The files of the presentations should be uploaded to our fileserver as early as possible and no later than half a day before the presentation. Files should be named with the program code followed by “_talk”, for example:
- MOXAA1_talk.ppt
- MOXAA1_talk.pdf
and then uploaded through the IPAC’22 SPMS Author Accounts. The program codes assigned to presentations are visible when logging into accounts, or via “Search”.
Those authors who are unable to upload to the server should copy the file on to a memory stick and bring it to the Speaker Ready room or Author Reception at least one day before the presentation.

The session chair assistant will help speakers with their presentations and any minor issues. For technical AV issues an auditorium, a technician will be on hand to assist. For presentation issues, the Presentation Manager will assist.
