Oral Presentations

Oral Presentation Session

Your oral presentation will offer conference attendees valuable insights into the latest advances in implementation science and real-world practice. Please find the final conference program, including your oral presentation, here.

Each session will consist of four oral presentations, which means you will share the stage with three other presenters. Each session will last 60 minutes, allowing each oral presentation to be 10 minutes long, with 3 minutes reserved for questions, and 2 minutes for changing presenters and slides. Each session has an assigned moderator who will welcome the audience, guide participants through the different presentations, manage time, take questions from the audience, and close the session.

Room & facilities

Each lecture hall has the following equipment: notebook (Windows), LCD screen or beamer, two headset microphones, and a presentation remote. The session room will be open 15 minutes before the session starts, so you can check the room and your slides.

In each room, there is a notebook for presentations. The following persons are responsible for the notebook and further technical questions:

Guidelines for oral presentations

• Please budget your time carefully to meet a total of 10 minutes, plus 3 minutes for questions and discussion.
• Limit your talk to your key messages.
• The session moderator will stop your talk if you exceed your allocated time, so don’t save the best for last.
• Include contact details (email, social media handles, etc.), so the audience can follow up with you.
• People might wish to take and share pictures of you and your slides. If you have concerns about this (e.g., results you want to keep restricted for now), please inform your session moderator so that this can be communicated at the beginning. Additionally, include a “no photography” icon on slides you prefer not to be made public.
• Using a QR code on your slides is a great way to link to your website, a published paper, or a pre-print. You can create QR codes on this website: qr-code-generator.com
• Abstracts will be published end of January 2026 at the latest on the conference website.
