Info for speakers

Thank you for speaking at BSPS2026! Some information for you:

• If you would like a handout, or to make your Powerpoint (etc.) available, please email it to us (bsps26@leeds.ac.uk) by Monday 20 July. Word and Powerpoint are best for accessibility purposes, but pdfs are also OK if necessary. After Monday you can upload it yourself here; please make the title JUST YOUR SURNAME so people can find it easily. Talk materials will appear here.

• Please make sure you stick to time! This is especially important in the contributed- sessions, where you have 20 minutes; the chair may cut you off if you go on too long.

Symposium and contributed-paper session speakers, please:

• arrive early, and with your presentation (if you have one) on a memory stick or Dropbox or similar; and ensure that it's downloaded onto the PC before the session starts;

• read the Chairing Policy page;

• For contributed-paper sessions, attend the whole session that you're part of. This guarantees an audience for all the speakers and will generally make for a smooth-running session.

• For symposia, note that the symposiasts are collectively responsible for deciding how to divide up the allotted time between talks and Q&A, and for managing this in the session (or delegating this task to the chair).
