Electricity
Mains power runs at 220 volts and 50 hertz. Wall sockets take two or three round pins. Equipment from other regions will need an adapter, and it is best to bring one with you.

Delegate Information
Practical guidance for presenters and delegates, from setting up slides to charging a laptop in India.
Presentations
Preparing your talk
Each presentation room is equipped with a projector and a computer running a current Windows system with the standard office suite. Equation editors and a portable document format reader are installed, and a media player is available for short clips.
If your talk relies on specialist software, bring your own laptop and a copy of the slides on a portable drive as a backup. Load your file during the break before your session so that the changeover stays on time.
Speakers should arrive in the room a few minutes early, introduce themselves to the session chair, and keep to the time allotted so that questions are not cut short.
