• Bring your final presentation to the "Media Room", R2.14 to be uploaded (in a laptop, memory stick, CD or DVD media).
• The "Media Room" will open at 8:00 a.m. on Monday 3 August and will remain open each week day up to 17:30, during the two weeks of the XXVII IAU GA.
• Except for the presenters in the first session on August 3 and on August 10, the presentation must be uploaded with at least two hours in advance of the time set for the session to start. We urge however the presenters to upload their presentation well in advance in order to avoid last minute difficulties.
• The recommended file name convention is en_tn_lastname, where:
  • en is the scientific event initial - Sxxx, JDxx or SpSxx;
  • tn is the talk number - as in the Abstract Book;
  • lastname is the last name of the presenter.
  For example, lets take the first abstract on page 236 of the Abstract Book. It is going to be presented in the Joint Discussion 3 as the oral contribution number 14, by Dr. Krzysztof Belczynski. So the recommended name of the file of this contribution should be JD03_o:14_Belczynski.xxx, where "xxx" is the extension designation of the file type of the presentation (eg. pdf, ppt, etc.).
• This facility room is not intended for editing.
• IMPORTANT NOTE: It will not be allowed to connect personal laptops to the meeting room projectors - the presentations must be uploaded to the GA computer system at the "Media Room", R2.14, beforehands. Unless specific authorization for use in the GA web page is signed, your presentation will be deleted from the system immediately after the end of the session it was presented.
