Instructions to prepare slides and presenations for CDH 2026 Leuven

The program is very dense. Time limitations will therefore be strictly enforced. Exceeding speaking time may reduce or eliminate Q&A. Rehearsal is therefore strongly encouraged.

The following forms are possible (including length of presentation and Q&A time)

  • Invited talk: 15 min slot - 11 min for presentation + 4 min Q&A
  • Long Oral: 12 min slot with 7-8 min for presentation + 3–4 min Q&A
  • Short Oral: 8 min slot with 4–5 min for presentation + 3–4 min Q&A
  • Oral Poster: 5 min slot with 3 min (single slide!) for presentation + 2 min Q&A
  • Digital Poster: single non-animated slide displayed MON or TUE during breaks. Attendance optional; animations therefore not allowed.

Presentation Guidelines & Recommendations

  • Format: PowerPoint (PC), 16:9 ; no presenter's view guaranteed
  • Personal laptops are not allowed
  • No Mac hardware/software available
  • Mandatory slide 1 (only for internal use): title, presenter (co-authors optional)
  • Mandatory slide 2 (for regulatory): day, session name, time slot, conflicts of interest
  • Count on max. 1–2 slides per minute of speaking time
  • Do not make any introduction on CDH: your audience knows the condition
  • Start with background and study aim
  • Focus on methods, results, and key message 

Digital Posters

  • Single, non-animated slide
  • Minimum font size: 24 pt (larger preferred)
  • Must be readable from 2–3 meters
