Speakers can find the location of their session via the mobile app and in the complete official programme, available on the website in PDF format. Sessions normally last for 90 minutes and include 4 talks. Therefore, in order to allow time for questions, all speakers are kindly requested to prepare their presentations to last 20 minutes, even if their session includes less than 4 speakers. As a speaker, you should arrive at the room where your session is to take place at least 10 minutes before it is scheduled. Once there, contact the chair so you have time to set up your presentation on the room-computer, to which presentations should be copied from your own USB stick.

Equipment at presentation rooms
Equipment in all session rooms at EURO 2018 includes a PC and a beamer. There is no need for speakers to bring their laptops to the rooms. We even have spare laptops in case there is a problem with the PC in the room. A session will already be open on the PC in each room. Alternatively, speakers will be able to log in on the UPV premises with their EDUROAM username and password. Please note that we do not provide electric adapters or VGA/HDMI adapters for connecting speakers’ laptops. Depending on the room, connecting a laptop might not be easy or even feasible, so we strongly recommend that speakers bring their presentations on a USB drive and use the PC available in each room. The laptops have the Windows 10 and Windows 7 operating system, Powerpoint 2016 and the latest version of Adobe Acrobat PDF reader.

Lunches
Lunchtime will be a social event for EURO2018 attendees. Lunch will be available in the Sports Pavilion of the Universitat Politècnica de València from 12:00 until 14:30 (2.30 pm) on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (See the areas depicted as “INDOOR / OUTDOOR PICNIC AREA” at the main venue maps in Section 6). Lunches will be served in picnic baskets (food, drinks, plates & napkins).

For organizational purposes we need to kindly remind you of the following points:
1) Lunches must be eaten within the designated areas.
2) Food and drinks are not permitted in the classrooms.
3) Picnics are to be eaten as soon as they are served.
We remind you that special menus are available for all meals, coffee breaks and cocktail receptions offered at the conference. In particular, menus are provided for vegans and for people with coeliac disease, lactose intolerance or cultural constraints.
Coffee breaks
Coffee breaks will be served near of the sessions rooms. Please follow the signs.
