Speakers shall assure not to over-run the allowed speaking time.
Number of slides should therefore be between 20 and 25.

7.2 Format

Slides shall be in Power Point PPS/PPT format.

7.3 Layout

Slides must be clearly seen at normal viewing distances and readily scanned and understood in less than one minute by the audience. Use two or more slides if necessary. Character size should not be smaller than 16. Do not use more than 6-7 words per line, 10-11 lines per slide. Use graphs, bar charts or curves because they are easier to follow. Tabulated data should not show more than 4 columns and 10 rows per table.

Each slide shall mention “CEOCOR 2023” in the Footer.
CEOCOR permits company slide templates with a logo for the conference, however, the presentation should be a corrosion technical/scientific message and not a commercial one. The CEOCOR audience will not be impressed by any strong commercial message.

7.4 Practical information and advice

Authors will be invited to upload the presentations.
Presentations shall also be sent by e-mail to the president of the relevant commission, with copy to the secretariat of CEOCOR.
Authors should not “read” the information on the slides but add value to the slides by explaining.
Speak loudly, clearly and quite slowly to give participants with another mother language the opportunity to follow the presentation.
Do not forget that the paper is intended for readers and the presentation is intended for listeners, so do not use the paper for presentation.

8 FINAL CONSIDERATION

The Congresses of CEOCOR are an ideal opportunity to meet experts and to exchange latest information, research results and experiences in the field of corrosion and corrosion protection. If you have not attended before, expect a very friendly, open and free exchange of knowledge and expertise with all who you meet. Do participate in the Work Group meetings that will take place before and after the two presentation days.

Your papers and your presentations are the basis for making the CEOCOR Congresses successful.
Thank you for being an Author at our Congress!
