Instructions for Presenters

The instructions for the individual presentation types are given below. Should you have any special requests regarding your presentation, please email us at program-chairs@sigdial.org.

Instructions for Oral Session Presenters

Oral presentations are 25 minutes in length including questions. Please limit your presentation to 20 minutes and allow 5 minutes for questions.

Important note: all oral presentations will be made from the conference computers. Speakers must bring their presentation on a USB stick in either PPTX or PDF format, including all necessary audio and video files. Speakers must copy their talk to the conference computers during a break before their oral session, and test to make sure that their slides and any audio/video elements play correctly before their session begins.

In the NLG special session, there will also be two short talks that are 5 minutes in length with no questions.

Instructions for Poster Presenters

Poster presenters should prepare a poster that is size A0 (841 x 1,189 mm / 33.11 x 46.81 in) and in portrait orientation.

Pushpins for mounting the posters will be provided.

Please note that there will not be a poster madness session at SIGDIAL this year.

Instructions for Demo Presenters
