For their presentations, speakers may use either a beamer connected to a PC with Power Point or an overhead projector. In the former case it is advisable to contact the Local Organising Committee in advance and to bring a set of "back-up transparencies" along. Connecting a speaker's own notebook computer to the beamer is of course also possible.
