26TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTING IN HIGH ENERGY & NUCLEAR PHYSICS (CHEP2023)

Instructions to Speakers

Instructions to speakers

We encourage all speakers to take note of the following guidelines when preparing their slides and getting them to use before their presentations.

At the conference there will be a dedicated speaker support desk where presenters can ensure their material is uploaded and will be correctly displayed in the rooms.

Abstract guidelines

Selection of talks and posters will be made on the basis of submitted abstracts. Parallel talks and posters will be organized in twelve tracks, as indicated in the table below. The Program Committee will decide which contributions will become oral presentations, and which become posters. Exceptional contributions may be proposed for promotion to a plenary talk by the Program Committee.

• The recommended length of your abstract is 150-250 words, but there is no hard limit.
• Submitters of abstracts are required to select an appropriate track; optionally a second choice of track can be indicated; an abstract will be assigned by the reviewers to only one track.
• Consider carefully the track to which you wish to submit your paper - submitting to the wrong track will slow down the process.
• If you would like your abstract to be considered for promotion to a plenary talk, please indicate that.
• If you have difficulty selecting a track from the list, please send an email to chep2023-pc-chairs@jlab.org explaining the problem.

Submitters are also asked to make sure that their email addresses and those of the proposed presenters are their primary email addresses.

Uploading materials

• We will be using INDICO to run the meeting -- please make sure you have found your talk at: https://indico.jlab.org/event/459/ and that we have linked your correct (Jefferson Lab based) INDICO account to your presentation. This will allow you to upload your presentation materials (PDF or PPT) prior to the meeting. We will download the slides from there prior to your session and have them available on the presentation computer in the conference hall.
• Please make your slides available on INDICO at least 48 hours before your talk. We will upload all materials to a room computer prior to the session. We plan to do this the evening prior to each session to avoid any INDICO or network outages that might slow down or completely stall the meeting.
• There is a Speaker Ready Room near Registration that has computers and staff to support getting your talks uploaded from a USB stick if you have issues.
• Please do not bring a memory stick to the presentation room just prior to your talk.

Oral presentations

• All plenary session talks are 25 minutes + 5 minutes for questions. Chairs will keep time.
• All parallel session talks are 12 minutes + 3 minutes for questions. Chairs will keep time.
• Slides must be prepared for projection in 16:9 format (longer side along the horizontal direction).
• Presentations will use the computers provided.
• Speakers will be provided with a laser pointer/clicker, in addition to a keyboard + touchpad/mouse.
• Expect to use a microphone as we are in a large hall and even the loudest speakers won't be heard at the back without one.
• Audio is also enabled for presentations that need it.

Poster presentations

• Posters are requested to be in A0 portrait format (841 mm W x 1189 mm H).
• We suggest that your poster should include a small photo of the presenter in order to facilitate discussions outside of the designated poster sessions.
• Each poster will be assigned a location in the Hampton Roads Ballroom V and IV. Locations will be marked with the contribution number, speaker, and poster session.
• Posters will be on display the day before and during their scheduled poster session. Posters should be removed after their scheduled poster session or they will will be recycled.
  • Tuesday Poster Session should be prepared to bring their poster on Monday and find their assigned positions.
  • Thursday Poster Session may begin setting up their posters on Tuesday evening.
• Poster presenters will be provided with velcro dots to attach their posters to the display boards.
• If you wish to print your poster in Norfolk, you can use a vendor very close to the main hotel
  • Copy Connection 
    240 E Main St. Norfolk VA 23510 
    +1-757-627-4701
  • A0 size prints will be $52.50 + tax
    • Lead time is a minimum of 2-3 days! We suggest contacting the company via email at least 1 week before you travel. Include the date you will need to pick up the poster, and provide a link (Google Drive, OneDrive, or similar) to a PDF version for printing (to avoid email size issues/limits).
