Final Programme

Instructions for Authors
Audiovisual Equipment /
Speakers Service Centre (SSC)
The Speakers Service Centre (SSC) is centrally
located on Level 2 of the Nice Acropolis Congress
Centre (please refer to the overview on page 7).
All lecture rooms will be equipped with a PC
and a data projector for PowerPoint presentations
only. Presentations must be handed in
via floppy disk, CD-ROM, zip drive, memory
stick or via your own laptop before your
lecture.
It is essential for the smooth running of the
congress that all speakers hand in their Power
Point presen tations at least one hour before
the beginning of the session. Enough time
must be allowed to check the presentation
carefully and for the staff to enter the data into
the system. Speakers will have the opportunity
to check their presentations on PC’s available
in the SSC.
Poster Sessions
Publication
All accepted abstracts will be published as an
electronic supplement to Clinical Microbiology
and Infection (CMI), the official journal of
ESCMID. This year, accepted abstracts will be
made available to the participants for the first
time on CD-ROM only. No abstract book will
be distributed. In addition, the CD will also
include most of the full posters!
Please take advantage of the on-line meeting
planner facility available on the computers
in the @-corner (level 2).
