Paper Presentation

“SpeD 2021” will feature live oral presentations using the Microsoft Teams platform. The registered participants will receive an e-mail message with the Microsoft Teams Session ID and must join using the e-mail address used for registration. The live oral presentation will consist of a 15 minute presentation of the problem, the background, the innovative approach, the new results and the comparative evaluation. An additional 5 minutes are available for discussions with the attendees. The presenter should prepare slides using Microsoft Powerpoint or similar tools. Each paper presentation will take place in its dedicated time slot according to the conference program. All participants should carefully read the guide on how to access and use Microsoft Teams for “SpeD 2021” which can be found here.

Technical Requirements:

  • Setup Microsoft Teams Client: All participants must download and install Microsoft Teams for Desktop from here. We strongly encourage you to use the desktop application of Microsoft Teams instead of the web browser version.
  • Check Access by e-mail: Make sure you can login in the Microsoft Teams platform using the e-mail address used for registration.

No-show policy
No-show papers are defined as papers submitted by authors who subsequently did not perform the live presentation of the paper in the conference sessions. Presentations by proxies are not allowed, unless explicitly approved before the conference by the technical co-chairs. No-shows will not be available on IEEE Xplore or other public access IEEE forums. No refund of the paid fees can be claimed by the no-show author. Exceptions to this policy will be made by the Technical Program Chair of the conference only if there is evidence that the no-show occurred because of unanticipated events beyond the control of the authors, and every option available to the authors to present the paper was exhausted.
