Speaker Guidelines

The following guidelines are designed to help you prepare a successful WSTS 2023 presentation.

Biography and Picture
A picture and brief biography of each presenter will be posted on the 2023 WSTS agenda. If your profile does not already include your bio and photo, please submit a recent photograph and a one-paragraph biography as soon as possible. We will introduce you by name and affiliation, referring attendees to the online bio. Pronunciation of difficult names is requested.

PowerPoint Submission
Please submit a near-final draft of your presentation using your Aventri/STOVA log-in no later than Monday, February 20, 2023.  A near-final draft will enable the co-chairs to better assess the overall session and offer suggestions.  For example, if there is duplication of material between speakers, session chairs will flag this situation and ask speakers to update presentations accordingly. A final version of your presentation should be submitted no later than Monday, March 6, 2023.
