Presentation Requirements for Accepted Abstracts

What Happens if My Abstract is Accepted?

PLEASE NOTE: All Accepted Authors/Abstracts for ICCM 2025 will be expected to give their presentation in-person at the ICCM 2025 Conference.

Each primary submitter for abstracts will be notified by email, no later than Monday, January 13, 2025 of the decision of the ICCM Review Committee. Abstract submitters who receive an acceptance letter email will also be provided with speaker log-in information/instructions. This speaker log-in information will guide each presenter through all phases of the presentation requirements for ICCM 2025. All presenters will be required to upload their presentation prior to the Conference using this speaker log-in page. An exact date for presentation submission will be contained in the speaker log-in information. Presentations with substantial speaker notes or a technical paper (author’s choice), will be required of each presenter for inclusion in the Proceedings, to be posted on the Conference website after the Conference.

Presentation Guidelines

• PowerPoint presentations are preferred, but PDF can be used as well, if needed.
• It is recommended that Presentations use a 16:9 ratio.
• Fonts should be size 16 or higher (unless the text is a footnote or disclaimer). One tip to test if the font of your presentation is big enough is to print a random page of your presentation, place it on the floor, and see if you can read it when you stand up.
• Send your presentation ahead of time so it can be previewed for any technical issues. Also take advantage of speaker review times to review your presentation on the equipment you will be using for presentation and in the room where you will present. This should ensure that no problems will occur on the day of your presentation.
• Always bring a backup copy of your presentation with you just in case your main copy is lost or damaged.
