#PSG2019 Oral Presentation Guidelines

For all those presenting talks at the PSG Conference, please click for details on the timing and loading of presentations.

PSG 2019 Oral Presentation Instructions:

All talks will be limited to a 15-min TOTAL time period. This does not mean that you can talk the full 15 minutes. Please plan on a 12-min presentation, allowing for 3 minutes for questions. Allowing time for questions helps with the networking aspect of this meeting and invites further discussions after the talk (among other benefits!). Session chairs will be instructed to stick to a very strict schedule, so please make sure your talk is 12 minutes long.

It is the responsibility of all presenters to make sure their Powerpoint or PDF works properly. If your presentation is saved on a Mac, please test that it is functioning properly in Windows ahead of time. If in doubt, save the .pptx as a .pdf file. If your presentation requires audio or video, we strongly recommend that you test this ahead of time as well.

Loading presentations: please look for announcements inviting you to submit your talks to a cloud-based shared file system.  You will be able to load your talk days in advance.  The shortest acceptable delivery of a talk to the local organizers is at least two breaks ahead of your presentation session. If you are speaking after the morning break, this means loading your talk before the plenaries or award presentations.  There will be a computer at the registration desk to allow for transfer of talk files from memory sticks onto the local network.
