If you have already finalized the speakers who will give a talk in your symposium, please share with us their details as soon as possible. Kindly submit the speakers’ names no later 8 weeks prior to the conference. Please specify country and email address for each speaker.

Please submit the final symposium program using the attached Agenda format via email to the Industry Coordinator Diyana Yosifova at: dyosifova@kenes.com as early as possible and no later than 6 weeks prior to the conference.

Please note that the content, faculty, and program of the symposium is subject to the review and approval by the Organizers as done for the previous AD/PD™ Conferences.

AD/PD™ one speaker lecture policy with regards Industry speakers: A speaker may now present one talk in a Scientific CME accredited session and one talk in an Industry session; however, he/she is limited to speak in one industry session only. In other words, the same speaker is not allowed to speak in two different industry sponsored sessions, so it is important to check that your speakers have not already accepted to talk in any other industry session when inviting them for your session.

Please ensure your speakers are aware of above policy before accepting to talk in your symposium.

The proposed program should include:

• Session Title (up to 110 characters including spaces)
• Session Description (up to 200 words. Hyperlinks can be included).
• Speaker Presentations Titles
• Timing – duration of each speaker presentation and full timing of the agenda

In case of any changes to your symposium title or program after the initial submission, please update the Industry Coordinator Diyana Yosifova at: dyosifova@kenes.com.

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).
