We strongly recommend that all speakers upload in advance their presentation(s) online with their My ESC account.
This is ONLY possible via My ESC exclusively, (myESC.escardio.org), with your usual username & password, from 18 August to 2 September (midnight GMT).
or On-site in the Speakers' Service Centre (SSC):
The SSC is located in Zone C, on the ground floor. Please see instructions below:
All speakers giving a presentation in scientific sessions are requested to validate their presentation in the Speakers’ Service Centre (SSC) a minimum of 3 hours before the session starts or the day before if the session is at 8:30! Presentations received after this deadline cannot be guaranteed audiovisual support.
The SSC hostesses will be happy to welcome you in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Highly experienced and skilled technicians will assist you to transfer and to confirm your presentation(s). Once uploaded to the respective lecture room, presentations will be played locally.
Peak hours of operation in the SSC are during coffee breaks and lunch breaks. In order to maximise your time in the SSC, and the attention that we are able to give you, we highly recommend visiting early in the morning or during the sessions.
Rehearsal: In the SSC, a demonstration computer will be representative of what is supplied in the lecture room. We strongly recommend that all speakers should familiarise themselves with the mouse control.
All PCs in the SSC and the lecture rooms will run Windows XP and Office 2003.
To the attention of MAC users:
If your presentation is on a Mac computer, we kindly urge you to meet with a dedicated Mac technician in the SSC to either make sure that your presentation will run properly on the PCs or to anticipate a backup solution.
How to upload your presentation
