Workshop Guidelines

Format

Workshops maximize the exchange of ideas among attendees and presenters through brief technical
presentations followed by extended Q&A periods. Focused topics attract an informed audience eager to discuss issues critical to advancing both technology and best practices. The majority of the presentations are in the form of case studies, highlighting engineering achievements and lessons learned. In order to stimulate frank discussion, no proceedings are published and the press is not invited to attend.

Documentation

Proceedings from this SPE workshop will NOT be published. Therefore, formal papers and handouts are not requested from speakers or panel members. Note taking by individual attendees is encouraged, but should be limited to ensure participation in the open discussion. A CD or URL containing released copies of the workshop presentations will be available to attendees after the
workshop. A workshop summary will be prepared by the technical program committee for public release, but no other information (e.g., presentations, posters, etc.) will be publicly released.

Commercialism

SPE guidelines prohibit excessive commercialism in presentations. Company logos must be limited to the title slide and used only to indicate the affi liation of the presenter and others involved in the work.
