3) Presentation Data

  • Please save your data on a USB flash memory stick (or CD-R) and check that it works on another computer before bringing it to the meeting. Please name the file in the format of “Presentation Number_Presenter’s Name.” Please also bring a backup of your presentation data in case of unexpected circumstances. Please save only your presentation data on your memory device. Any data handed over to us will be destroyed after the end of your presentation.
  • If you wish to use video or audio materials, please bring your own computer with you and inform the person at the PC center of this fact. Video files must be produced so that they are playable with the codec included in the Windows Media Player 11 initial state. (WMV format is recommended for file production.)
  • D-Sub 15-pin (mini) cables are available at the PC center. Some Macintoshes and other computers are only fitted with HDMI output, and these cannot be used for image output without the use of an adaptor. If you are bringing this type of computer, please bring your own external output connector together with your computer. Please also be sure to bring a mains power cable in case the battery in your computer runs out.
  • Please be sure to scan for viruses.
  • If you are bringing your own computer, please turn off any screensaver or energy-conservation settings in advance.
  • To ensure that your presentation proceeds smoothly, please do not use presenter tools.
  • Please unlock any password required by your computer when it wakes up from sleep mode or is restarted.

  • If you are bringing your own computer, please give it yourself to the operator on the computer operator’s desk in the presentation venue (at the front left of the room) 30 minutes before your presentation is due to start, so that the operator can display your presentation data.

5) Devices for Use During Presentations

  • Please use the keyboard and mouse that are set up on the podium during your presentation.
  • The monitor screen on the podium will be set on standby with your presentation data already open in PowerPoint.

6) Conflicts of Interest

Research carried out in collaboration with industry may not only benefit society at large (public interest) by means of the results obtained from fulfilling academic and ethical responsibilities; benefits such as money, status, and rights (private interests) may also arise as a result of industrial collaboration. A situation in which these two interests both arise in an individual researcher is known as a conflict of interest (COI).
The Japanese Society of Pathology requires that all authors of presentations given at the Annual Meeting disclose any conflicts of interest they may have.
All presenters are requested to include a slide on conflicts of interest (see example below) as the second of their presentation slides (immediately following the title page), or to include it at the bottom in the case of a poster presentation. Please see the links to the Japanese Society of Pathology below for further details.
