Instructions for the presentations

There is a beamer in both the auditorium and the meeting room 1 (for Session 2 of contributed talks). The aspect ratio of the display is 16:9, so if you use the LaTeX-class beamer, you might want to use the class option aspectratio=169 (\documentclass[aspectratio=169]{beamer}). You may use your own laptop, but we recommend that you have your slides also on a USB flash drive (memory stick) as a pdf-file.

In the auditorium, there is also a small white board. In both rooms, there is a flipchart or several ones.

If you wish, you may send the pdf-file of your slides to the organizers by email sls2014@sis.uta.fi, and that file will be uploaded on the conference webpage.
