REGARDING THE CONFERENCE 

Where and how can I register?
Presenters, co-authors, pre-conference chairs, panel chairs, and/or invited guests have received an email with a registration link (let us know if you haven’t at pmrc2023@uu.nl). To make sure we don’t exceed the capacity of the conference and our venues, we currently only process registrations from presenters, co-authors and/or pre-conference/panel chairs. Space permitting, we’ll open up the registration for other participants as well. Further information about the registration process, conference fees, deadlines and the cancellation policy can be found here. 

Will I be required to submit a paper?

Depending on the number of papers in your panel, each paper will have about 20 minutes including Q&A. The presentation itself should take about 10-15 minutes. A beamer for PowerPoint presentations is available in all rooms and locations. 

When will I have to present exactly? 
We currently have a provisional program (see here), specifying the timeslots for the panel sessions. Exact times and dates of presentations will be made available when we finalize the program, which we can only do after registration is complete. In scheduling the presentations, we expect conference attendees to be available for all days of the conference.
