Industry symposia timetable will be published on the event website under “Support & Exhibit” tab.

Important notes:

• Industry Symposia are not included in main meeting CME/CPD credits.
• In order to support you in the best possible way, please share your plans and requirements with us. This information is invaluable for the success of your session. Please liaise directly with the Industry Coordinator.
• We recommend arriving early to set up the hall prior to the start of your Symposium. A member of the Kenes Operational team will be available onsite should you need any assistance.
• Handouts are allowed to be distributed at the entrance to the Symposium hall; however, it is NOT permitted to place material on the seats inside the hall.
• Printed tent cards placed on the head table are allowed and should be produced and provided by supporter.
• We ask presenters to follow the time schedule precisely in order for the day’s events to run smoothly. An updated programme can be found on the event website.

• Catering is exclusive to the official Catering agency and should be ordered in advance. Supporters who wish to order food and beverages for their symposium and/or meeting/hospitality room are welcome to do so directly with the catering team. Contact information will be shared in due course.
• Please check with the Industry Coordinator if food and drinks can be taken into the symposium halls (excluding hot dishes).
• If you are considering having catering together with the symposium, please note that an additional charge will be applied for cleaning the hall immediately following the session.
• Please check with the Industry Coordinator if lunch and refreshments will be served daily in the Exhibition Hall according to the event timetable.
• If you are planning to have catering/lunch boxes together with the symposium, it is recommended to indicate in all publications that lunch/refreshment will be served as long this is not contradicting the supporter’s internal compliance policy.

As indicated in the sponsorship agreement, the supporting company, in addition to the support fee, must cover all speakers’ expenses, including registration fees, accommodation and travel expenses. This also applies in the case where the Sponsored Symposium speakers have already been invited by the Meeting.

We strongly recommend scheduling a technical rehearsal in the hall itself and testing the Presentations during that rehearsal. Please make arrangements directly with the Conference Audio Visual Coordinator, Mike Perchig at: nest@nest-av.com. A technical rehearsal is offered free of charge; however additional charges may apply, depending on hall availability, rehearsal requirements and overtime of the technicians.

If you are using a PowerPoint presentation (or any other PC-based application), please note that you have to deliver it on a USB Memory stick to one of the technicians in the Speakers’ Ready Room as soon as you arrive at the Venue in the morning – and at least 1 hour before the start of the session.

Please note that the Computers for the Presentations will be supplied with Office 2019 (at least) and the native ratio of the projection on the screens in the halls is 16:9.

If you include video clips in your PowerPoint presentation, be sure to test it with the technician in the Speakers’ Ready Room at least 2 hours before the start of the session or as soon as you arrive at the venue in the morning. Please make sure to check it with the technician in the session hall where your lecture is taking place, during a coffee or lunch break prior to your session, at least 30 minutes before the start of the session – even after checking it in the Speakers’ Ready Room.

To use MAC presentations on the PC compatible meeting computer, please note that you need to prepare it according to the instructions below, before taking it to the speaker room:

• Convert it to PowerPoint or PDF.
• Use a common font, such as Arial, Times New Roman, Verdana etc. (Special characters might be changed to a default font on a PowerPoint-based PC).
• Insert the images as JPG files (and not TIF, PNG or PICT – these images will not be visible on a PowerPoint based PC).

As previously mentioned, we strongly recommend scheduling a technical rehearsal and testing the presentations during the rehearsal. Please plan directly with the Meeting Audio Visual Coordinator.

Please note that it is the supporter’s responsibility to leave the session hall in a clean and tidy manner once the session has finished. Any items such as leaflets, banners, roll-ups must be removed from the hall at the end of the session. Any discarded waste, including promotional material, left behind will be removed by the event’s organisers at the expense of the supporter concerned.

We respectfully request that all supporters (sponsors, exhibitors, special interest groups, and other stakeholders) comply with the meeting blackout policy and refrain from holding organized meetings or events in parallel to the scientific programme.
