Uploading Presentation Materials for APS Meetings

Home › Meetings & Events › Meeting Presentations › Uploading Presentation Materials

Presenters at selected APS meetings, such as Section meetings, are strongly encouraged to supplement their abstract with presentation materials. Links to uploaded materials will appear in the online meeting program next to your abstract listing. Providing your presentation materials in advance will allow attendees to view them in advance and better engage with your presentation.
