PEPR '22 Instructions for Presenters

Welcome to all PEPR '22 speakers! We're so glad that you'll be joining us either in Santa Clara, CA, USA, or on Zoom on June 23–24, 2022.

Contact

If you have questions, please contact conference@usenix.org or your Program Co-Chairs, Divya Sharma and Blase Ur, pepr22chairs@usenix.org.

To-Do List

  1. Sign your Consent to Publish form.
    USENIX requires a signed consent form from all presenters, which allows us to publish the audio, slides, and/or video of your talk. USENIX makes these freely available to the public as part of our commitment to open access. Please review and e-sign the PEPR '22 Consent Form for Talks and Panels. If your company requires that you sign its speaker release form instead, please send the completed version to consent@usenix.org.
  2. Register for the conference.
    The USENIX Conference Department will contact you with instructions for registering online. More information about our health and safety plan is available on the Coronavirus/COVID-19 and USENIX Conferences page.
  3. Get your visa.
    If you need an invitation letter to apply for a United States visa to attend the conference in person, please contact the Conference Department as soon as possible. Visa applications are reportedly taking more than two months to process. Please identify yourself as a presenter or an author, and include your mailing address in your email request.
  4. Read the USENIX Code of Conduct.
    Please ensure your talk follows the guidelines outlined in the USENIX Code of Conduct.
  5. Use of Images, Audio, and Video in your Materials.
    It is very important that you secure permission to use copyright-protected materials in your slide deck, video, or other materials used at a conference or submitted for publication. Even when an item has a Creative Commons license, you must read and comply with the terms of the license.

    USENIX receives copyright infringement notices from time to time, resulting from authors or speakers using copyright-protected materials without proper licensing or attribution. When this happens, we have to unpublish the work in question until/unless the issue is resolved. Licensing fees may be incurred, even when the work is unpublished, and USENIX will bill the author or speaker for any costs incurred. When possible, USENIX will refer the complainant directly to the author or speaker, who will be solely responsible for resolving the complaint.
  6. A/V and Technical Setup.
    Speakers are expected to use their own laptops and presentation clickers for their talks. USENIX will provide the following equipment:
    • Projection screen and projector.
    • Wireless microphone(s).
    • Connectivity for laptops with HDMI and USB-C ports. If your laptop uses a different video standard (e.g. Mini DisplayPort or mini-HDMI), please make sure to bring any adapters you might need to connect to the projection system.
