Workshop Details

Format

Welcome Reception & Dinner followed by two and a half days of informal discussions prompted by selected keynote presentations and discussions. Attendees will be assigned to discussion groups on a random basis for the breakout session on the second day to maximise the opportunity to interact with other participants.

Poster Sessions

The Steering Committee encourages registrations from professionals who are able to prepare and present a poster on a relevant project. Details of the poster size and facilities will be provided in the joining instructions.

Attendance

Registrations will be accepted on a first-come first-served basis. The Steering Committee encourages attendance from those who can contribute to the workshop most effectively either in discussions or with posters. A mix of attendees in terms of geographic origin, companies and discipline will be encouraged.

Documentation

  • Proceedings will not be published; therefore, formal papers and handouts are not expected from speakers
  • Work in progress, new ideas, and interesting projects are sought
  • Professionally-prepared visual aids are not required; handwritten view graphs are entirely acceptable
  • Note-taking by participants is encouraged. However, to ensure free and open discussions, no formal records will be kept

Workshop Deliverables

  • The Steering Committee will appoint a “scribe” to record the discussions and to produce the full Workshop Report for SPE
  • This report will be circulated to all attendees as the Workshop deliverable within 4-6 weeks following the Workshop. The copyright of the report is with SPE.
  • PowerPoint presentation materials will be posted on a specific SPE URL address after the Workshop. Provision of the materials by the discussion leaders will signify their permission for SPE to do so.

Commercialism

In keeping with ATW objectives and the SPE mission, excessive commercialism in posters or presentations will not be permitted. Company logos must be limited to the title slide and used only to indicate the affiliation of the presenter and others involved in the work.

Attendance Certificate

All attendees will receive an attendance certificate attesting to their participation in the workshop. This certificate will be provided in exchange for a completed Workshop Questionnaire.

Continuing Education Units

This workshop qualifies for SPE Continuing Education Units (CEU) at the rate of 0.1 CEU per hour of the Workshop.
