Accepted formats are vector-EPS (Encapsulated PostScript excl. fonts - e.g. exported from Adobe Illustrator or CorelDraw), CorelDraw (texts converted into curves) or print PDF (600 dpi resolution). Please include a small preview image e.g. a screen copy in JPG for checking.

The ad should be sent to:

Attn. Mr. Vaclav Korejtko
Jeseniova 56D, 130 00 Praha 3, Czech Republic
tel.: +420 271 771 414, e-mail: praha@studiopress.cz

Your files can be also transfered via FTP (we can send you the username/password for the access to the FTP server). Please mark all shipments with "INSOURCE 2008" (as a subject in e-mail) and include a contact name for printing issues in case of troubles. Cc also andrea.kutnarova@aip.cz, please.

Printed conference Programme is included in conference materials for every participant.

Conference Portfolio

Companies wishing to include their product literature (A4 format, not more than 3 sheets) in the portfolio given to each delegate should ship the material to Albertina office for arrival no later than January 25, 2008.

PPT presentation

Your presentation (in PPT, PDF or HTML) will be published on the INSOURCE 2008 website. It can be only substantive, case-oriented presentation that relates to your products and services.

The preferred way is to send us a copy of your PowerPoint presentation latest by January 21st (preferably earlier) by e-mail to andrea.kutnarova@aip.cz (please use WinZip to compress the file, do not forget to save fonts in case you use some more special ones). This will allow us to check it and pre-install it to the presentation server. However, please do not forget to take also a backup copy on floppy (we recommend to make two copies) or on a CD-R disc or USB flash disc with you … just in case.

Guidelines for presentations

The actual time of your session will be confirmed, but we recommend that you prepare a 20 minute presentation, which will allow for a further 5-10 minutes of Q & A at the end of your allocated time.

During the break before your speech please do not forget to check your pre-installed presentation in the auditorium and get in touch with your session chairman. Conference session timing is always crucial. Therefore you are kindly asked to arrive well before your session begins and especially to strictly adhere to the timeframe of your speech and any instructions given by the session chair.

Room set up

The conference will provide presentation rooms with a data projector, screen, computer with mouse (PC with CD-ROM drive, Windows, Office 2000 (incl. PowerPoint), MS Internet Explorer – your presentation will be preinstalled there and tested jointly with you), wired microphone and presenter’s table. Live Internet connection will be available during all sessions. Diplomat Hotel Prague has a good connectivity. On-site technicians will be available to troubleshoot any equipment problems you may have.

It is also possible to use your own notebook, however, there may always be a compatibility problem with the datashow and it would also need much more time for installation, checking and interconnection during the conference session. Therefore we do not prefer this option.

Your exhibition space

Each space in the Vienna I and II rooms and in the foyer will be provided with one table (140x80 cm - if you did not order an expanded space) and two chairs (please let us know by January 7th if you need more chairs) and an electrical current outlet (220-230 V / 50 Hz). Your location will be published at the INSOURCE website.

In case you ordered Internet connection at your ministand, the usernames and passwords for access to the Wi-Fi network will be provided. Your laptop must be equipped with a WiFi card.
