Presentation Time Allotment

Pre-recorded Presentations

All authors at DVCon U.S. should deliver the slides as pre-recorded sessions.

NOTE:

Please contact the chair of your session (i.e. technical program chair, tutorial chair, or poster chair) on the exact length of your recording and deadline for the submission.

Speaker Policy

All speakers are expected to present in person.

If the presenter can’t present in person, the speaker is responsible for finding an alternative speaker that can present in person (should be a co-author).

• If no co-authors can present in person and thus an alternative speaker can not be found, then it is up to the committee to determine if the presentation will remain in the program.

Pre-recorded videos will NOT be played onsite. The pre-recorded videos are for quality assurance purposes, for the Accellera archives, and/or in the case that DVCon U.S. moves virtual.

• Pre-recorded videos are required for all authors.
• Pre-recorded videos are optional for tutorials, workshops, and panel speakers.
