Symposium Presenter Information

The following guidance is for Symposium presenters. Note, it is expected that presentations will be given in person at IEEE S&P. If no authors will be able to attend the conference, please contact the Local Site chairs to arrange for a remote presentation. For all Symposium presenters, these are the mandatory steps requiring your action:

1. Submit a teaser video (May 1).
2. Submit your presentation slides (May 15).
3. Provide permission to share a recording of your presentation to the ieee-security.org website and YouTube (May 15).

When you arrive at the conference, we require all presenters to go to the Speaker Ready Room to check in the day before their presentation. The Speaker Ready Room is in Regency A (on the same floor as the Ballroom). Its hours are below:

On the day of your talk, arrive 15 minutes before the session start time and check in at the AV booth in the back of the session room.

Teaser Video Requirements (Due by May 1)

Teaser videos are 60-second summaries of your publication, acting as an “elevator pitch” for your presentation. Only authors of accepted papers are invited to submit a teaser video. These videos are available for Symposium attendees to help them plan their agenda. With your consent, we will also post these videos to the ieee-security.org website,YouTube, and the Whova conference platform

Content requirements

1. Duration: Videos must be 60 seconds or less.
2. Title slide: The first 3 seconds of the video must include a title slide, detailing (i) the title of your paper and (ii) the author list including affiliations and contact information. This title slide should last 3–4 seconds at most.
3. Body: The rest of the video should communicate the topic and the main results of your work. It does not need to have a voice-over track but should have an audio track. There is a variety of Creative Commons licensed music appropriate for background audio here: Legal Music for Videos.
4. Closed captioning: Closed-captioned audio is preferred. We encourage all videos with spoken dialog to include a closed-captioning file (.scc, .srt, or .webvtt format) submitted with the video. You can use YouTube to generate subtitles for you, which can then be hand-tweaked and downloaded, to accompany your submission. These subtitles will appear on the lower part of the screen, so be careful about the placement of other text in your video that the audience needs to read.
5. 3rd party material: Permission must be obtained for all copyrighted and 3rd party material. It is very important that you have the right to use all the material that is contained in your submission, including music, video, images, etc. Attaining permission to use video, audio, or pictures of identifiable people or proprietary content rests with the author, not with the S&P conference. You are encouraged to use Creative Commons content.

Technical requirements

1. Resolution: Video resolution must be 1920x1080.
2. File size: Video size must be no more than 1GB.
3. File format: Videos must be a .mp4 file.

Presentation requirements (Due by May 15)

Each presentation has a 15-minute slot. Your talk is expected to take 10-12 minutes, with the 3-5 remaining minutes for questions. Because the schedule is so dense, session chairs will be relatively strict at enforcing these constraints.

You will present your presentation using a computer operated by the Symposium’s A/V staff. Your slides will be queued up and ready to go when you walk on the stage, and you control the presentation using an on-stage remote. Details for preparing and submitting your slides for your presentation on the Symposium’s computer are found below.

Below are the technical requirements for slides and instructions for submitting your slides to the symposium. You will need to complete these steps by May 15th.
