Oral Presentation Format
We look forward to welcoming you in Albuquerque!
What follows is a guide for In-Person Oral Presenters. This oral presenter guide will cover the following topics:
- Guideline for Presenters
- Instructions on presenting in one of the parallel oral sessions
Information on accessing the Whova App and interacting with participants online can be found here.
Guidelines for Presenters
Presentations must be given by the designated presenter during the conference. You may view the designated presenter of your abstract(s) by navigating to the My Conference page on the conference site here: https://events.interpore.org/event/56/conference
Presenters must be registered for the conference prior to 28 March. Otherwise, their presentation may be removed from the oral program. This measure is necessary to prevent gaps in the program. Any change of presenter must be notified to conference2025@interpore.org. Please provide us with the abstract ID number and the name of the substitute presenter.
Participants may present a maximum of one oral presentation and one poster presentation.
All parallel sessions will be live-streamed and recorded for viewing on Whova at participants' convenience.
Prior to the conference, create your attendee profile in Whova. Note that only those who have completed registration for InterPore2025 will be able to log into Whova for the event. Remember that your profile will be seen by other attendees, sponsors and exhibitors; so, make sure to include detailed information for making connections and networking.
Parallel Session Presentations
- Each presenter will be assigned to one of the sessions during the conference.
- Session assignments can be found by navigating to the "My Conference" section of this website and clicking on the abstract link.
- During the sessions each presenter will give a 10-minute presentation, followed by a 5-minute Q&A. Stay within the allocated time. This typically means you should not have more than 10 slides. Session chairs will give you a signal after 9 minutes, at which time you should start wrapping up your presentation. Give short answers to questions.
- There are a number of online sources on “good practices” for oral presentations. For example, there are some excellent tips and tricks you can find in this short video, long video, or this article.
Preparing your Slides
Please follow the guidelines below when preparing your presentation:
- File Format: Prepare your presentation as a PowerPoint (.ppt or .pptx) or PDF file.
- Aspect Ratio: If possible, use a 16:9 widescreen format for optimal display.
- File Naming Convention: Name your file using the following format:
Session_AbstractID_Name
Example: 12MS03_123_JaneDoe.pdf
This helps us accurately match your file with the correct session and speaker.
- Important: Files that do not follow the naming convention may be delayed in processing or misidentified.
Uploading of Presentation Files – Important Instructions
To ensure a smooth technical setup, all presentation files must be submitted in advance via the cloud upload link. Email should only be used if you are unable to upload your file through the cloud.
Primary Submission Method – Upload to Cloud
- Upload your presentation directly to the InterPore cloud using the following Dropbox link: https://www.dropbox.com/request/tzFhq12ni1IxtTy7wO3b
- Uploads should be completed by Friday, 10 May 2025, if possible. Uploads after this date are still accepted, but the sooner the better.
Alternative Submission – By Email (only if upload is not possible)
If you are unable to upload via Dropbox, you may send your file(s) by email or via WeTransfer to: presentations2025@interpore.org
Email submissions must also be received no later than Friday, 10 May 2025.
AFTER MAY 10th:
If you are unable to submit your presentation by email before 10 May, you must upload your file directly to the cloud via the Dropbox link above. In this case, you are also required to notify us by email once the file has been uploaded.
PLEASE NOTE:
- Your presentation must be available in the cloud at least 24 hours before your scheduled presentation time.

Then upload the updated file via the Dropbox link. - After uploading, notify us by email at presentations2025@interpore.org so we can ensure that the correct version is used.
- Updated files must also be uploaded at least 24 hours before your presentation time.
VERY IMPORTANT!! No USBs or On-Site Transfers:
