Upload Your presentation before (3 days) travelling to venue

Go to the presentation upload site and upload your file

You can also email the presentation to the designated conference email ID.
All presentations will be downloaded to your session room on the day of your presentation.
The presentations will be loaded prior with the name "first name_last name and date / session"

Load Your Presentation at the registration

It is recommended to upload the presentation before 3 days of conference start date. If unable to send, you can always load your presentation (save the presentation in USB Flash drive) the day before your scheduled presentation at the registration desk [after 6:00 PM]. The USB Flash drive will be scanned before transferring the presentation to the presentation folder.
Once the presentation is completed it will be permanently removed. There will be an option to select if they wish to accept the usage for the presentation library maintained by USG – for the benefit of the budding researchers how to present on a particular topic [Talk-pedia].

Consideration on PC Users (Create on PC then move to MAC)

Appropriate extension usage (the part after the period. in the filenames): use .PPTX, .PPSX if saving from PowerPoint 2007/2008/2010/2011 format or use .PPT or .PPS if saving to an earlier version format or saving from an earlier version.
Copy the media file to the folder where the PowerPoint file is, and only then insert it; otherwise links to most media files will break.
AVI or MPEG are better choice files for movies or sounds; don't use WMV (Windows Media Player).
Usage of fonts: Arial, Times New Roman, Courier and Symbol are best present on Macs.
Don't squeeze your text into placeholders: Text rendering on PC vs Mac (font substitution) can cause your squeezed text to get truncated of text boxes.
