PRESENTATION STYLE
The ICC 2025 Technical Program Committee went through a rigorous process to review all the papers submitted and select the best ones among them. Less than 40% of papers submitted to Technical Symposia and less than 50% of paper submitted to Workshops have been accepted for presentation.
Accepted papers will be presented at the conference either in a lecture-style or in an interactive-style format. This distinction has no relationship with the quality of the accepted papers whatsoever. Rather, papers have been selected for lecture-style or interactive style presentation based on space available at the conference center and to ensure topic homogeneity in lecture-style sessions.
Please make a note as to whether your paper is lecture-style or interactive-style. For symposium papers, interactive Sessions are denoted in the Technical Program with a session code ending with “IS” after the dash, e.g., CISS-IS, WC-IS, etc., are Interactive Sessions. Moreover, the title of the session is “Topics in <symposium> (Interactive)”, where <symposium> is the abbreviation for the symposium. Directions for each style of presentation are given below.
All accepted and presented papers will be published in the Conference Proceedings and IEEE Xplore without any indication of the presentation mode.
Please feel free to download use our PowerPoint template for your presentation.
SYMPOSIUM LECTURE SESSIONS
Lecture-style presentations for the IEEE ICC 2025 Symposia will be held in theatre-style meeting rooms and have been allocated 18 minutes each (15 minutes of effective presentation time, plus 3 minutes for Q&A and change of speaker).
Lecture Sessions are denoted in the Technical Program with the Symposium acronym followed by a sequence number (e.g., CISS-1, CISS-2, etc.)
Presenters are expected to prepare their slide deck meticulously. Presentations should convey the main contents in a concise, clear and precise manner, providing an overview of the key principles, facts, and results. More detailed discussions can continue with session attendees during the breaks.
To ensure a seamless and smoothly running session, please carefully follow the following instructions:
- Recognize the location and time of your session in advance. Obtain the necessary directions to the meeting room where your session will take place.
- Arrive to the room 15 minutes before the start of the session and introduce yourself to the session chair.
- A laptop, projector, and screen will be available in the session room, with the latest version of Microsoft PowerPoint and Office, and Acrobat Reader. A clicker/pointer is also available for the presenters.
- Prepare your presentation in MS PowerPoint or Adobe PDF format and save it on a USB thumb drive. Bring the USB drive to your session and upload the presentation onto the laptop in the session room at least 10 minutes before the start time of your session. Alternatively, you may also upload it earlier during the coffee/lunch breaks on any of the days preceding your presentation. A volunteer will be present to assist you as needed. Check that your presentation file has been successfully uploaded without errors and it works with the software installed on the laptop.
To avoid any compatibility problems with your slide deck, please carefully follow the following instructions:
- Prepare your presentation in MS PPT/PPTX or Adobe PDF format.
- Kindly note that we are unable to offer assistance for embedded videos within your presentation. We recommend you test your presentation on the on-site laptop in advance, to verify that it works as you expect.
- Only fonts that are included in the basic installation of MS-Windows will be available. Using other fonts not included in Windows may result in an incorrect layout or style of your presentation.
WORKSHOP PRESENTATIONS
Workshop presenters are required to adhere to the same guidelines provided for lecture-style presentations in the IEEE ICC 2025 Symposia.
It's important to note that workshop presentations may have various timing requirements. As such, presenters should contact the appropriate workshop organizers for guidance and clarification if further explanation is needed.
