Guidelines for Speakers
-----------------------

1) Limit yourself to 5 powerpoint slides or less.  Use of the whiteboard 
is strongly encouraged.

2) Make sure that your presentation is no longer than 10-12 minutes
(uninterrupted) so there will be time for discussion. (Total speaking +
discussion time is ~25 min/speaker.)

3) If possible, present work which is unpublished and still under
development.  Interesting ideas are more important than absolute
answers.

4) Pose questions to the audience to help initiate discussion.  One
idea would be to begin your talk with slide of 3-5 questions/problems
for the audience to think about.  Avoid questions like "How do
galaxies form?"  and focus on things that will get your audience
engaged, for example, "What do I need to do to convince people that
these galaxies really are dusty?"  You can also use this as a way to
get ~30 smart people thinking about your problems, for example you
might ask "What statistical test should I use on this data?"

5) Have fun.  Choose a wacky title.  Bring some props to demonstrate a
concept.  Do whatever it takes to prevent powerpoint poisoning!
