AUTHORS' COFFEE
(at the day of presentation)

Authors' coffee provides an important opportunity for authors and session chairs to meet and coordinate final details on the presentation of papers.

PROJECTION EQUIPMENT AND ORAL PRESENTATIONS:
The standard equipment provided will be the following:

• SVGA LCD PC projector
  If choosing this equipment the authors need to bring with them a laptop (portable computer) and the session monitor will help to link it with the projector before the presentation. If using somebody?s else laptop the authors are strongly ADVISED to check their presentation in that laptop in advance to correct any possible problem that it is likely to occur because of different set of fonts available in each computer, the versions of software and other compatibility issues.
