Depending on the number of submissions, each presenter will have approximately 5 minutes per topic. If your presentation finishes early, you can use the remaining time to engage with participants. Please ensure your presentation concludes on time (or before time), as any delays can affect the schedule for other presenters.

In previous years, we faced challenges due to frequent switching of projectors, adapters, and laptops, causing disruptions. To ensure a smooth session, all presentations will be projected from a single computer (the MC’s laptop). Please submit your presentation by 30 April 2025, in PowerPoint (.pptx) format or as Google Slides. Limit your presentation to 3–4 slides and use a 16:9 aspect ratio.

Additionally, you may submit a brief write-up (ideally under 500 words) for inclusion on this New Gadgets webpage. Feel free to provide supplementary materials such as a publicly viewable/embeddable YouTube or Vimeo link, images (logo or small infographic, under 1MB, maximum 640×360 pixels—please avoid full-page flyers/posters), and relevant URLs for your submission.

If your gadget or product is sensitive in nature and you prefer not to have your name, product, or related details listed on this webpage, please inform us, and we’ll be glad to remove that information from this listing.

Please be prepared to respond to follow-up emails in the days or weeks following EMDC.

On behalf of the hundreds of participants attending EMDC, we sincerely appreciate your willingness to share your expertise. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me.

We are praying that all your preparations go smoothly and that you’ll be able to join us at the EMDC conference in May.
