Your objective defines what you wish to achieve with your presentation. To achieve a realistic objective you must consider the characteristics of your audience: their motives for attending your presentation, their interests, their knowledge level and their intentions.

The structure of a good presentation is as follows:

Define the subject, give a general outline and state the goals of your presentation in your introduction.
Work out your presentation in more detail.
Summarise and draw conclusions, which refer back to your introduction.
Please be very careful that your presentation is scientific and not commercial. In addition, the company logo or trademarks are allowed only in the first and on the last page of the power point slides (videos and oral presentations).

We recommend you to make an overview with the estimated timing of your presentation and to prepare yourself for questions from the audience. Rehearsal of your presentation is strongly recommended! Please note that presenting to a live audience can take a little longer than during a rehearsal.

It is important to adhere to the presentation time as detailed in the Technical Programme schedule.

An integral part of a technical presentation is the technical discussion at the end of the presentation. The author should be prepared and able to discuss their paper with their peers in the audience during the last 5 minutes of the time slot. The discussion will be facilitated by the session chair.

If a speaker is not able to come to the event to present their own paper, they may be represented by one of their co-authors. Again, to enable a meaningful technical discussion, the alternative speaker should be familiar with the presented work and its background. The speaker should inform the EAGE office before 29 October 2023 to indicate this.

If the alternate speaker is not familiar with the work and this becomes clear in the discussion, this could lead to rejection of future papers at EAGE events by both the original and the alternate speaker.

What to Prepare?

A0 Poster (Printed)

In order to obtain a design for your poster which aims to generate active discussion it is recommended to:

• Use the mandatory poster template (pptx) or pdf poster template
• Include the paper reference (abstract number) and presentation title on your poster;
• Place the highlights at eye level (i.e. the upper half of the wall element);
• Divide each poster into at least three equal columns for readability of text. Illustrations may extend over 2 or 3 columns;
• Text and Character Size:
  • Word-process all text (including captions) and print on a plain light coloured background.
  • Use a minimum font size of 18 points. (Text should be readable from 2 meters away.)
• Illustrations
  • Should have a resolution of 300 dpi to be suitable for printing on A0.
  • Should be placed large enough on the poster so it is readable from five feet away.
• Poster Format:
  • The maximum allowed paper size is A0.
  • There is one (1) poster board available per presentation; you are required to use 'Portrait' layout for your poster.
