Presentations
After succeeding in the registration process and submitting your communication to be presented during the academic sessions of the "International Spanish Egyptian Congress for Tourism, Hospitality, and Heritage (ISECT).".
Sessions will be held on 4-5 February 2025 in Cairo, Egypt.
Concerning your communication/presentation during the academic session, the following instructions are recommended:
• It is imperative that presentations are delivered in English or Spanish or Arabic, Cervantes institute in Cairo presents the translation services (Arabic/ Spanish - Spanih/ Arabic - Spanish/ English).. in case of English Languge by the presentator it supposed to be understood by all.
• Each presentation will be 15 minutes long. We recommend spending 10-12 minutes presenting and 3-5 minutes for discussion or questions.
• The available equipment will be a PC, a projector and microphones.
• The recommended file type to be used for presentations is PowerPoint or Portable Document Format (PDF).
• The presentation files should be sent before 1st Febraury through the link
• All presenters will be introduced to the audience by the session chair.
• Its contents should be structured and have the following parts: title, introduction, methods, results, discussion, etc.
• Presentations should not contain full paragraphs of text. Use a bulleted list or outline format and elaborate on the points in your talk.
• The fonts that are used should be in sans serif type (like Arial or Helvetica). This is because when projected on a big screen, letters lose some of their clarity, and serif type (like Times) can be blurry.
• Use large fonts, as big as realistically possible. Small fonts are hard to read.
• Use contrasting colours – for example either a dark background with light text or a light background with dark text.
• Avoid busy backgrounds that will make the text hard to read. Keep the background simple.
• Limit your graphics to 1-3 per page. Too many graphics can be distracting.
• Avoid all CAPITAL LETTERS IN YOUR TEXT. It will look like you're shouting.
• Include a good combination of words, pictures, and graphics. Variety keeps the presentation interesting.
• Slides are designed to supplement your presentation, not to BE your presentation. Keep it simple, and don't read your presentation word for word from your slides – this bores the audience.
• Don't talk to the screen; maintain eye contact with the audience.
• Use a laser pointer to indicate salient features of the slide as you speak (there will be one provided in the session room).
• Speak loudly and clearly.
