+
+### Presenting at the Conference
+
+##### Talk-Length
+The allotted time for each talk includes a recommended 5 to 10 minute Q&A session. Please ensure your presentation fits within this timeframe and avoid exceeding your designated talk duration.
+
+##### Session Chair
+There will always be a session chair to announce you and moderate Q&A.   
+The chair will also assist you if you require help, e.g. in case there are technical difficulties.
+
+##### Q&A
+The session chair will manage the questions received from the audience. 
+
+#### Tech Set-Up
+
+##### Tech-Check
+Please check your equipment in the room where you will present earlier to make sure everything is compatible.
+Please **show up 10 minutes before** your presentation to check your equipment.
+
+##### Laptops
+Please bring your own laptop to present.
+
+##### Presentations / Projectors
+All projectors support 16:9 full HD. Please make sure to bring an HDMI adapter for your laptop with you.
+
+##### Recording
+All talks and tutorials are recorded and released later on our YouTube channels. 
+
+We would like to ask you to remain standing at the speaker desk and not move around too much. This is important for the recoding.  
+If you want to highlight something on the slides, please consider using a laser pointer.
+
+##### After Your Presentation
+We need to make room for the next speaker, please clear the room for the breaks (so the technicians can have a break, too).
+Please do leave the speaker desk directly. Continue any discussions with the audience not at the speaker desk but **outside the room**.
+
+#### Language
+The conference language is English only.  
+We encourage everyone to use a gender-neutral language,   
+here are some [guidelines](https://open.buffer.com/inclusive-language-tech/).  
+
+There are some good examples in the [EU guidelines](https://www.europarl.europa.eu/cmsdata/151780/GNL_Guidelines_EN.pdf), starting at page 10.
+
+In case you need help, contact program[at]euroscipy.org.
