Dear confirmed SciPy talk or poster presenter,

SciPy 2013 is nearly upon us!

Have you registered?

All speakers and poster presenters need to register (https://conference.scipy.org/scipy2013/registration.php). We are a community conference and can’t waive these fees as they are essential to keeping the conference at the high quality it is. Those of you whom have not yet registered may receive a reminder email soon.

Once you’ve registered, you’ll be able to suggest BoFs https://conference.scipy.org/scipy2013/bofs.php and Sprints https://conference.scipy.org/scipy2013/sprints.php . So, don’t hesitate to start participating!

When are you presenting?

Poster presenters will be presenting during the poster session, 10:35 AM - 11:35 AM on June 27th. Your poster will remain on display through the entirety of the conference. Please check the online program to ensure that your poster is confirmed https://conference.scipy.org/scipy2013/posters.php .

Speakers will find their scheduled talk at https://conference.scipy.org/scipy2013/conference_talks_schedule.php .

What is the format ?

Poster presenters should be aware that the poster stands are made up of 2 upright poles, 2 horizontal bars and 2 bases (no wheels.) These will accommodate posters 36 or 42 inches tall and up to 72 inches wide. Posters that are taller can hang below the bottom horizontal bar. The stands will have a foam core board in case someone needs to pin something to the background. Large metal clips will be provided to fasten posters to the metal bars if needed, but please bring your own thumbtacks or pins to fasten items to the foam core boards.

Talks in the general, machine learning, and tools for reproducibility tracks are scheduled for 30 minutes each. Please plan your talk to allow time for questions and transitions during those 30 minutes.

Talks within the minisymposia may be of different lengths, specific to each mini-symposium. If your talk is part of a mini-symposium and you would like more information, please contact the chair for further details about the format of those symposia. Their contact information is :
