Please note that the deadline to withdraw your presentation without consequences is 1 August 2025, 23:59 CEST.

Withdrawal after deadline

If you withdraw your presentation after 1 August 2025 (23:59 CEST), you will be listed as no-show and you risk being banned as a speaker at World CCUS Conference events for 3 years after the conference.

After this deadline, it is still possible to list a co-author as a replacement presenter. Kindly use the online response form form to inform EAGE about the replacement presenter.

If you have any questions about the technical programme, please contact us.

Confirm the name of the presenter

In order to be able to present in any session, all speakers in the technical programme must be registered for the conference.

Submit the online response form as soon as possible to:

  • Confirm the name of the presenter;
  • Inform us of the replacement presenter (also to be used if the submitting co-author is not the presenting co-author);
  • Withdraw your presentation (deadline 1 August 2025, 23:59 CEST).

Please keep in mind that the paper numbers of the presentations are listed in the acceptance email.

Use the form to:

1. Confirm the name of the presenter
When the name of the presenter is confirmed, they will be listed as a ‘Confirmed speaker’. In the registration process, this is checked to calculate the correct registration fee for presenters.
As soon as the form has been processed, you will receive an automated notification to confirm that the system will then recognise you as a ‘Confirmed speaker’.

2. Inform us of the co-author who will replace you as the presenter
If a co-author will give the presentation, the submission needs to be moved to their account. To do so, we need the name and email address of the co-author. Please keep in mind that the email address that you mention and the login name used by the co-author to access the EAGE website need to be the same.
If the co-author does not have an account yet, they need to create one on the EAGE website.

3. Withdraw your presentation
If you have to withdraw your presentation, please keep in mind to do so by 1 August 2025 (23:59 CEST) at the latest. If you have to withdraw your presentation after this date, you risk being banned as a speaker for EAGE events for 3 years (see also the ‘Presentation cancellation policy’ at the ‘General Information’ tab).

Presentation upload

Accepted speakers will be contacted by speakers@wccus.org separately with the upload link. 
 
For presentations, a lectern, microphone, a wireless remote with laser pointer, a laptop computer (with Windows 10 operating system), and a digital projector will be provided in each room. Speakers are required to use the computer provided, as there will not be sufficient time to switch computers between speakers. Because of the time needed to download and organise presentations on these computers, we ask that you upload your presentation files as soon as possible in order for the team to do the needful for a quality check of the uploaded file. Please note that the presentations are formatted for widescreen (16:9) and all presentations must be in a PowerPoint file (media and special fonts must be embedded).
 
For those presenting PowerPoints with media, we recommend you take a look at this page: ‘Tips for improving audio and video playback and compatibility’.
 
All presentation files must be uploaded to the presentations upload repository no later than one full day (24h) ahead of your talk. To upload your files, please click on the “Upload your presentation” link in the mentioned email.  
 

Oral presentations

Oral presenters will each have 20 minutes for their presentation:

  • 15 minutes for the presentation
  • 5 minutes for Q&A


Please download the mandatory PowerPoint Presentation Template for your presentation.

Guidelines for speakers

A good oral presentation has a clear objective, a well-defined structure, and uses clear and simple illustrations.

Objective and structure

Your objective defines what you wish to achieve with your presentation. To achieve a realistic objective, you must consider the characteristics of your audience: their motives for attending your presentation, their interests, their knowledge level, and their intentions.

The structure of a good presentation is as follows:

  • Define the subject, give a general outline, and state the goals of your presentation in your introduction.
  • Work out your presentation in more detail.
  • Summarise and draw conclusions, which refer back to your introduction.

Please be very careful that your presentation is scientific and not commercial. In addition, the company logo or trademarks are allowed only on the first and last pages of the PowerPoint slides.

We recommend that you make an overview of the estimated timing of your presentation and prepare yourself for questions from the audience. Rehearsal of your presentation is strongly recommended! Please note that presenting to a live audience can take a little longer than during a rehearsal.

It is important to adhere to the time schedule: 20 minutes in total per presentation (for example, 15 minutes speaking time and 5 minutes question time).

Poster presentations

The poster sessions will focus on interaction and informal exchange of ideas and discussions between participants. All on-site poster presenters have in total 60 minutes to present their work during the poster session, including time for questions. However, posters will be on display during all day of presenting. This should be mounted between 08:00 hrs and 09:00 hrs (TBC).

IMPORTANT: The presenter MUST be available on site during the poster session to present your poster abstract. Simply hanging your poster without a presenter during the poster session will be considered a no-show.

What to prepare?

A0 poster (printed) using the mandatory Poster Template (pdf) or Poster Template (ppt).

In order to obtain a design for your poster which aims to generate active discussion, it is recommended to:

  • Include the paper number and presentation title on your poster;
  • Place the highlights at eye level (i.e., the upper half of the wall element);
  • Divide each poster into at least three equal columns for readability of text. Illustrations may extend over 2 or 3 columns;
  • Text and character size:
    • Word-process all text (including captions) and print on a plain light coloured background.
    • Use a minimum font size of 18 points. Text should be readable from 2 meters away.
  • Illustrations:
    • Should have a resolution of 300 dpi to be suitable for printing on A0.
    • Should be placed large enough on the poster so it is readable from five feet away.
  • Poster format:
    • The maximum allowed paper size is A0.
    • There is one (1) poster board available per presentation; you are required to use ‘Portrait’ layout for your poster.
    • You will be provided with the necessary materials onsite to hang your poster.

Please be very careful that your presentation is scientific and not commercial. In addition, the company logo or trademarks are allowed only in a small size on the poster.
