FAQs

Q: Why am I required to upload my presentation in advance when I am presenting in person?

A: CogSci 2025 is a fully hybrid event, where it is expected that all presentations will be accessible to both virtual and in-person attendees. With 1000+ submissions accepted to present, it takes time to collect and compile this information. We therefore require all presentations by end of day July 15, to ensure the Conference runs smoothly, and all presenters and attendees are given equal access and opportunity. Thank you for helping make this work.

Q: Will I be able to see my slides at the lectern when I present my talk?

A: Yes, all presenters will be able to view their slides and any corresponding notes using the comfort monitor at the lectern. You may visit your meeting room in advance of your talk to familiarise yourself with the equipment ahead of time (if the room is not in use).
