Faculty Information

Please ensure you read the “HRC Chair and Speaker Guidance Notes” before attending the congress.

Media Suite

All presentations must be uploaded to the venue network via the Media Suite on Level 4, located a short walk from registration.

Presentations must be uploaded:

At least 2 hours before your session begins; or
The day before if your session starts at 08:30.

Please note: If you are speaking on Sunday 11 October, the Media Suite will open at 10:00 for HRC2026.

Presentations received after these deadlines may not receive guaranteed audiovisual support.

Peak times in the Media Suite are during tea/coffee and lunch breaks. To ensure sufficient support time with technicians, we recommend visiting during session hours where possible.

Media Suite Opening Hours

Sunday 11 October: 10:00–17:30
Monday 12 October: 07:30–17:30
Tuesday 13 October: 07:30–17:30

Speakers are welcome to work on presentations in the Media Suite throughout HRC2026. The computers in the Media Suite are identical to those used in the session rooms, allowing you to preview presentations accurately.

Technicians will be available in the Media Suite throughout the day, with additional support staff available in the session halls for troubleshooting.

Presentation Restrictions

Only comfort monitors will be provided in the session halls. Speakers will not be able to load presentations directly in the lecture room.

Use of personal laptops for presentations is not permitted. However, if you wish to use a Mac, iPad, or other personal device, please:

Inform the organisers in advance; and
Bring the appropriate HDMI adaptor.

Important:
