Conference Procedures

Presenters: Intending presenters should ideally aim to provide papers in advance (by October 1 st - even in draft form) to be placed on our website for registrants to read in advance. Our time together is limited, and should be spent summarizing (briefly, for about five minutes), and then discussing the papers, rather than reading them.

There are no limits on the length of the online papers, but bear in mind that to encourage participants to read them in advance, they should be kept short and presented attractively.
