All presenters must be fully registered for HP2026 and must have paid the registration fee by the registration deadline.
Oral presentations will be projected from the conference room computer using the final PDF uploaded by the speaker to Indico. Speakers will not be able to use personal laptops. The aspect ratio of the projectors is 16:9. Please make sure to upload a PDF, not another format.
All presenters should upload their slides to Indico the day before their talk.
