Presenter Guidelines

Technical Division, Technical Webinar and Technical Luncheon programs
CEGA maintains high technical standards. Presentations should be prepared for the interest and benefit of the CEGA membership, which is made up of geoscientists, managers, executives, consultants, students, and academia. Technical presentations should not be prepared to promote a particular product or company.

These submission guidelines apply to confirmed presenters.

Recording presentations 

CEGA can record your live presentation to be included in the CEGA Digital Library. This increases the presentation's shelf life and allows more geoscientists to view the content, which in turn increases the brand awareness of your organization and recognition of the presentation. 

If you would like to add your presentation to the CEGA Digital Library, please ensure you complete the Recording Permission form and submit the completed form to your CEGA contact person prior to the event date.

CEGA reserves the right to apply minor edits to recorded presentations prior to posting content. The edits will not affect the technical information presented. Upon written request, presenters are entitled to receive a copy of their recorded presentation; the edited version of the recorded presentation will be released six months after the event date.
