Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
##########################

1) I didn't receive any email with a link to upload my presentation, would you please provide me the link again?
Answer: Please provide us the correct information (at least the tracking number, the cospar ID, or the email address used at the registration), so we could identify you quickly and help you. Many mail servers marked our emails as spams, so please check carefully the spam folder. Also you should add our email address to your white list, so emails can reach you well in future.

2) The URL doesn’t work or the password is wrong, would you please provide me another one?
Answer: On August 1st «new» URL and password were sent to you to replace the one sent on July. Please check your mail box.

3) How can I delete my previously uploaded file?
Answer: You can't delete it, but you can replace it with a new one with the same name and extension.

4) Is PowerPoint format .pptx supported or Why do you support only .ppt?
Answer: We support both formats .ppt and .pptx.

5) I'm using Mac with Keynote, what should I do?
Answer: Unfortunately, we don't support Keynote, but you can export your presentation from Keynote to PowerPoint, PDF, or even QuickTime formats.

6) I want to bring my laptop and connect it directly to the projector, is it possible?
Answer: We strongly recommend you not to do this. In many rooms it’s physically impossible to connect a laptop to a projector or it will take much time. Since the time is limited and there’s no break between presentations, please try not to do this.

7) The size of my presentation is bigger than 150MB, how should I upload it to your server?
Answer: It will take time to upload more than 150MB to the server via internet. The best way is to go to any speaker ready room and we will help you do it.

8) When is the deadline to upload my presentation?
Answer: You should upload the final version of your presentation for 24 hours prior to your talk because it may take time to synchronize your files across the machines.

9) I couldn't embed videos to my presentation, what should I do?
Answer: Instead of embedding videos you can add their links to your presentation. In this case videos must be placed at the same directory where your presentation is located. When you click to a link, the local video player will open your video.
