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 typically 25 minutes + 5 minutes for questions. The Wednesday plenary schedule is an exception, with most talks at 20+5 minutes. 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
1. Poster Printing:
- Poster printing is the presenters responsibility.
- Poster size: A0 portrait format (841 mm W x 1189 mm H).
- (optional) Include a small photo of the presenter on the poster to facilitate discussions outside of the designated poster sessions.
- Local printing see Poster Printing for details.
- Contact them 7 days prior to the conference to ensure timely printing.
2. Poster Session Logistics:
- We have two afternoon poster sessions, one on Tuesday and one on Thursday.
- All students will present on Tuesday, see Student Competition below for details.
- Optionally sign up to indicate your preferred session by May 3rd:
- The organizers will try to honor these selections.
- Session Signup (optional) by Thursday May 4th:
https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70A0C4FADAA22A7FD0-chep
3. Poster Session Logistics:
- Session location: Hampton Roads Ballroom (IV - VI)
- Session 1: Tuesday 15:30 - 16:30
- Assigned presenters should post their posters as early as Monday before the first plenary, but no later than the afternoon coffee break.
- Session 2: Thursday 15:30 - 16:30
- Assigned presenters should poster their posters as early as Tuesday evening, but no later than the Wednesday morning coffee break.
- Please remove your poster at the end of your assigned poster session and take it with you.
- Poster board locations will be numbered from 1 to 100. The following google spreadsheet will be populated prior to the Sunday before the conference which maps a presenter to a poster board location:
- Poster presenters will be provided with fasteners to attach their posters to the display boards.
4. Student Poster Competition:
There will be a student competition with voting via QR codes attached to the posters. We would like all students to present in the same session on Tuesday to facilitate voting with results presented on Thursday.
- Conference attendees will vote for as many posters as they like, but not more than once per poster.
- Please scan your QR code once to verify that it takes you to the indico page for your conference contribution.
Questions regarding the Poster Sessions can be emailed to Taylor Childers: jchilders@anl.gov
If you have any other questions, or can't access the INDICO account we've associated with your talk, please contact chep2023-secretariat@jlab.org.
