Full Program – September 11, 2023 (Prague time / CEST / GMT+2)
Talks (in-person and virtual): each talk is 20 minutes including Q&A (remote presenters will join via Zoom.)
Physical posters: poster boards at the venue are A0 portrait size.
Virtual posters: hosted on a Discord server. Each poster will have its own Discord channel with a pdf of the poster to upload and discussions of the poster in text chat. We encourage authors of poster papers to check their channel occasionally for the duration of DSTC11 and SIGdial and respond to questions. Optionally, authors of poster papers can also present their poster live at 17:40-18:40 local time on September 11 (using video and screen sharing). Note: authors of physical posters are welcome to use the Discord server to present their work to remote attendees.
Accessing Zoom and Discord links for virtual presentation: to access links to Zoom (talks) and Discord (virtual posters), please visit the conference's online participation page. As this page prompts you to create an account, please use the email address associated with your Eventbrite registration.
Please email Michel Galley (mgalley@acm.org) for any questions.
