​​ ​

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Oral presentations - In Person

​​

In-person oral presenters need to prepare an 8-minute presentation for the theme session at the conference venue in Klaipėda 

All presentation slides must be submitted by 25 August to ICES Secretariat prior to the ASC. There is no option for submitting presentations at the venue.​​ 

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Oral presentations - Recorded


Oral presenters not attending in person need to prepare an 8-minute pre-recorded video for online submission.  

The presenting author needs to record a presentation that concisely summarizes the research question, the methods used, the results, and their significance. The recording will be shown at the theme session in Klaipėda.  

All pre-recorded videos must be submitted by 14 August to ICES Secretariat prior to the ASC. ​​ 

More information where to submit your video will follow.  

​​Video quality/format requirements: 

  • Duration: 8 minutes maximum, same as in-person presenters 
  • MP4 format  
  • 1080p resolution or higher  
  • If you are using a traditional PowerPoint presentation, please make sure you are using widescreen aspect ratio (16:9).  
  • Use the camera from your laptop or smartphone to record yourself speaking 
  • File size: < 500 MB​​​​​​​

​​​​​​Some general tips: 

  • Centre yourself in the frame of the camera and talk to the lens of the camera (as if you were talking to your audience) 
  • Use headphones/headset for good audio quality  
  • Find a spot in a well-lit environment with indirect light and a neutral or work-related background 
  • Avoid noisy environments and surprises 
  • Consider adding Closed Captions to your presentation to make it more accessible and to make your points clearer. U​se this guide for a PowerPoint-based recording or use one of the freely available tools found online
