Presentation guidelines

• Presentations should be given in English if nothing else is stated in the conference invitation.
• Make certain your presentation targets the correct audience.
  
  The majority of sessions are of a technical nature or product oriented, and your presentation should target a technical audience. In these sessions, we expect you to talk about concepts, processes, methods, and experiences, and we find it natural, if you use your products to exemplify that.
  
  For the management sessions, your presentation should target IT managers, and address IT business or management issue.
• If nothing else is stated please provide your presentation to the conference steering committee a week before the conference. This is because your presentation will made available to the participants so that they can look at your presentation and decide which session to attend to.
