Notification of Acceptance

You will be notified of your acceptance into the technical program in late December 2017 to early January 2018.
You will have two (2) weeks from when the acceptance e-mail is sent to confirm your participation.
If we do not receive your confirmation after a follow-up e-mail, we will assume you are no longer interested in participating in the program



Technical Program Format

Upon final approval of the technical program, each accepted speaker will be contacted. Full speaker guidelines will be provided at that time. Please see below for initial information.

Majority of technical program is run in two, simultaneous tracks
Each speaker is given 15-20 minutes to speak (presentations are to be limited to 15-20 slides).
Time for Q&A with audience is not included in the 15-20 minutes and should not be considered additional available time to speak.
Proceedings (Adobe PDF Files) are gathered about one month prior to the event and distributed at the event.
No technical paper is required
Rough drafts of presentations are required and vetted by session chair people to ascertain guidelines have been adhered to.
An Audience Response System is utilized in track one and requires multiple choice/true, false/agree, disagree questions to be submitted by speakers with answer options (these are to elicit options, not quiz the audience on a presentation).

Cancellation Policy

While we understand circumstances arise that may prohibit you from presenting after confirmation, we appreciate that speakers who much cancel, find a suitable replacement for the speaker.

Again, we would like to thank you for your interest in being part of our high-value technical programs. The growing success of the MCE Deepwater Development Conference and Exhibition is due, in large part, to the high-caliber expertise brought to the event by our presenters. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us at +1 (281) 491-5900.

We look forward to seeing you in
Italy, 9-11 April 2018!
