Program and Presenter Information

Detailed information about the agenda is available by viewing the program and abstracts. Authors will not receive notification letters and should check the author index to see where their presentations have been scheduled.

Oral Presentations

A PC laptop, LCD projector, and speaker remote will be available for presentations during the oral sessions. In order to facilitate a smooth transition between speakers, all presentations will be preloaded and tested in advance. To aid the preloading process, create a folder on your flash drive called “planetarydata2019” and place your PowerPoint presentation in that folder. Please include your last name in the naming of your presentation file. An IT technician will be available each morning from 7:30 to 8:15 a.m. and during lunch breaks to assist with loading your talk.

Regardless of the number of talks you have given, speakers are encouraged to read the excellent blog written by Emily Lakdawalla:  Speak Your Science:  How to Give a Better Conference Talk
