Guidelines for Speakers

Present your paper in person at the Conference. If you are unable to present, please inform the conference organisers as soon as possible.
Each presentation should not exceed 10–12 minutes (5 minutes in the case of speed talk presentations).
Avoid reading out your paper.
Focus on the key messages to attract the audience's interest.
Avoid presenting tables with too many cells or tables that are difficult to read.
Use a readable font in the tables and ensure good contrast between the text and the background. Please use the presentation template prepared by the organisers.
Use simple sentences and avoid jargon, highly specialised vocabulary, and unfamiliar abbreviations.
Present only a few important facts on each slide.
Practice the delivery of your talk, making sure that it fits within the allocated time.
Think about the questions you might be asked about your work and prepare well-thought out answers, being mindful of the limited time available.
All lecture rooms are properly equipped for presentations and have a Wi-Fi connection.
If you have made changes to your presentation, please bring the updated version on a USB memory stick to the Information Desk/Info Point at least 2 hours before the start of your session. The Information Desk/Info Point will be clearly marked at the Q2026 conference venue.

Each special session will last 90 minutes. Regular sessions will last either 75 or 90 minutes.
