Draft slides for both tutorials and conference sessions MUST be provided
with CfP submissions otherwise the submission will be rejected
immediately. For work in progress, the most current information
available at the time of submission is acceptable.

All draft and complete slides must be submitted in PDF format only.
Slides must be of original work, with all company confidential marks
removed.

Any marketing, sales and vendor proprietary content in a presentation is
against the spirit of APRICOT and it is strictly prohibited.

Note that proper credit must be given for all content taken from other
sources. Evidence of plagiarism is grounds for rejection.

Final slides are to be provided by the specified deadline for
publication on the APRICOT website.

Prospective presenters should note that the majority of speaking slots
will be filled well before the final submission deadline. The PC may, at
their discretion, retain a limited number of slots up to the final
submission deadline for presentations that are exceptionally timely,
important, or of critical operational importance. Every year we turn
away submissions, due to filling up all available programme slots before
the deadline. Presenters should endeavour to get material to the PC
sooner rather than later.

Any questions or concerns should be addressed to the Programme Committee
Chairs by e-mail at:

         pc-chairs at apricot.net

We look forward to receiving your presentation proposals.
