Subsequent Publishing of Papers

• Publication or distribution does not occur before the presentation at Metering, Billing/CRM Europe 2007;
• Mention is given to the Metering, Billing/CRM Europe 2007 conference & exhibition in subsequent reprints.

Audiovisual Equipment
All conference rooms have been equipped with a laptop, beamer and screen. If you need any additional audiovisual equipment please contact the conference management.

Timekeeping
Each speaker has 25 minutes for his/her presentation, with 5 minutes being allocated to questions from the audience. When you are preparing your talk we suggest you plan for a presentation time of 20 minutes; this will give the chairman enough time to introduce you. Please ensure that your presentation does not run over the time allocated.

Speaker Ready Room
The speaker ready room in the conference area is the place for speakers to check their presentation and to make last minute changes. A computer and printer are available to enable speakers to prepare themselves.
