Speaker Participation Terms
Evaluation of proposed presentations
Presentation requirements
The working languages of the Forum are Russian and English. When preparing presentation materials, speakers can use either one or both languages. During the Forum, only one presentation file can be presented on the screens in PowerPoint (PPTX), Adobe Viewer (PDF) and Prezi (for online speakers) format.
Slides to be presented in Moscow must be submitted no later than 30 September as we require extra time to brief session moderators, interpreters and prepare Q&As.
Slides must be prepared in 16:9 aspect ratio, in PPT, PPTX, PDF or Prezi format (for online speakers) and submitted under Subject title: Slides for screen projection to slides@minexforum.com.
If the presentation file size exceeds 10 MB, please upload it to any cloud server (e.g., https://wetransfer.com) and email the link to slides@minexforum.com.
In cases when speakers cannot participate in the live event, they can pre-record and upload their presentation to YouTube or Vimeo and email the link to slides@minexforum.com.
