Industry speakers may also be considered by the AMWC Scientific Board to speak or chair in other scientific sessions, which are not restricted to sponsored sessions.

Regardless of the type, all speakers will automatically receive a "Speaker" badge, granting them access to all the congress sessions and the exhibition hall.

Session chairs are selected by the Scientific Committee to moderate one or several sessions at the conference.

The responsibilities of a session chair include:

• Ensuring all lectures end on time and having the authority to stop speakers if necessary.
• Maintaining unbiased content within the scientific sessions.
• Facilitating transitions between lectures and moderating panel discussions.

Additionally, after the congress, session chairs will be asked to rate each presentation they chaired based on criteria such as presentation clarity, content quality, and level of English.

If biased content is presented, chairs should ask the speaker to move on to another part of the presentation or provide a comparative perspective.

AMWC places great emphasis on transparency in all scientific courses. Therefore, every speaker is required to disclose any commercial bias or financial support received in their presentations.

The conflict of interest (COI) policy applies to all speakers during the congress, including members of the Scientific Board, Faculty members, contributing speakers, and industry speakers.

If you are a Board member, you are kindly requested to fill in and update your COI declaration every year.

You can find the COI form in your speaker account. Fill out the form and submit it accordingly.

When preparing your presentations, prioritize readability over style by keeping it simple and clear.

• Language: Presentations must be written and presented in English.
• Format: We support Keynote (.key) or PowerPoint (.pptx) formats (don’t use any PDF files!) The recommended aspect ratio is widescreen (16:9), but standard (4:3) ratio is also acceptable. 
• Font: It is advisable to use Arial or Calibri fonts instead of Times New Roman. Avoid using narrow fonts.
• Font Size: The minimum font size should be 28. 
• Color: Choose colors that are easily readable.
• Bullet Points: We recommend using bullet points to convey your message. If charts are necessary, make them as clear as possible.
• Patient Privacy: Ensure the confidentiality of patients appearing in any and all of your materials.
• Video: please use high-definition files (1920x1080 @ 25 or 30 fps). MP4, MPEG2 or AVI.

Preferably, you are requested to upload your presentation materials to the congress server.
Direct plug-in of a USB drive or laptop is not permitted in the conference rooms.
