All tutorials are 90-minute sessions, including Q&A. The submitter is responsible to organize the tutorial with one or more speakers, delivering the presentation material, and selecting one of the above-mentioned formats.

Please submit your tutorial abstract by April 22nd. A tutorial abstract should contain a maximum of 3 pages.
 

Tutorial Selection

The Tutorial Chair, assisted by the Technical Program Committee, selects tutorials for inclusion in the DVCon Europe program. Tutorials are selected based on:

• Breadth of interest in the area and the timeliness of the topic
• Technical depth and breadth of the proposal
• Differentiation from other tutorials and special sessions
• Multiple viewpoints on the topic
• How well the topic fits within the overall content of the conference

DVCon Europe is dedicated to the success of the tutorial day! Once the selection is final, you will be sent detailed guidelines and deadlines to assist you with your planning.
