I believe there was a formal presentation about copyright at Palo Alto in 2008.  We had a Power Point presentation about Lonely Planet wiki stuff at 2011 in Canberra that was basically a repeat of something presented at wikiSym.  Totally different audience so it was new for us. :)  If you have a formal presentation, bring it along.  I don't know if they will have screen projectors but it can always be shown on your laptop if you want to show it to people.


Yes, I have seen many "presentation style" sessions at different RCCs, and did one myself in Montreal last year. I'd advise leaving room for discussion, but I suspect people would be very interested in hearing about your research, Joseph. I know I would -- wish I could be in Boston!
