Pre Conference Registration and Drinks
If you are in Klagenfurt on the Wednesday evening, we invite you to join us in the bar at the Seepark Hotel, for a
complimentary drink, where you can register for the conference and receive your conference pack. We will have a
registration desk open between 1830 and 1930.
Conference Dinner
The conference dinner on Thursday evening is at Schloss Maria Loretto. Dress is smart casual. This is included in your
conference registration fee, but we have to give the caterers the numbers by Thursday 7 th of November, so if you do not
confirm to me that you are attending there may not be a place for you. The conference Dinner venue is a 5-minute walk
from the university or a 10-minute walk from the Hotel.
Please let us know if you have special dietary requirements and we will try to accommodate them.
Lunches and refreshments will be provided on both days of the conference.
Your Presentation
If you are presenting a paper at the conference, you should look at the updated timetable, which is on the website at
http://academic-conferences.org/ecmlg/ecmlg2013/ecmlg13-timetable.htm Also check with the conference desk when you
register, as we might have had to make last minute changes to the timings. There will be Microsoft PowerPoint 2007
projection facilities available in each room. If you send me your presentation I will upload it onto the conference
computers in advance for you. If you do not do this by Monday 11 th of November you should bring it with you on a
data stick. You can either run your presentation from your USB stick – or you can upload it onto the computer
ahead of your presentation. If you are not planning to attend the full conference it is essential that you tell us when you
will be arriving in preparation for your presentation. If you are not present at the break before your session stream the
Chair may assume you are not coming. Each session is allotted 30 minutes. This means a 20 minute presentation and 5
minutes for questions, leaving 5 minutes to change over from session to session.
PhD Presentations
The PhD sessions will be grouped into 4 or 5 papers. Each presenter is given 10 minutes to present their work. There will
be 5 minutes for questions between presentations, and after all the presentations have been made there will then be a 15-
20 minute discussion period for the session chairs and all those present to provide feedback. You are expected to stay for
at least the full session in which your own presentation is scheduled.
Posters
Please bring your poster on Thursday morning to the registration desk and we will display it for you. The presentation of
posters will be on Friday morning during the morning coffee break.
