How it works: The Forum App

During the Alpine Adventure Forum, participants will use a dedicated Forum App to view presentation slides, if needed, on the mobile devices in an offline format (ie, no roaming or mobile data required). As part of this, you are required to upload your slides as a PDF in advance via the conference abstract portal. This will allow participants to view your slides directly on their mobile devices during the Alpine Adventure Forum hike.

Instructions for Uploading your Alpine Adventure Presentation:

• Save your presentation as a PDF.
• In PowerPoint: Go to File > Save As or File > Print > Save as PDF.
• Ensure your presentation is easy to read on mobile devices (e.g., use large fonts, clear visuals, and minimal text per slide).
• Upload your PDF to the abstract portal:
