Besides the information within the online submission form, the following information needs to be uploaded within a single PDF file with the following sections:

General Information
- Title of the tutorial
- Tutorial author(s) information
Abstract (Maximum words: 500)
A detailed description of the tutorial content (Maximum pages: three)
- Overview and goals of the tutorial (takeaways for the audience)
- Targeted audience
- Detailed outline of the tutorial (with time slots)
- Description of hands-on activities, if applicable
- Updates from previous presentations, if applicable
- Number of attendees from previous tutorials, if applicable
- URLs to sample slides and other material
Logistics

Review Process

A minimum of three reviewers will review each tutorial proposal.
The proposal’s review criteria include originality, significance, timeliness, impact, community interest, attendance in prior years (if applicable), quality, hands-on activity, and clarity.
Reviews will include actionable feedback related to the length of the tutorials and the organization of the content (for example, suggestions to add and remove some content).

Final Decision

The tutorial selection goal is to cover a wide variety of topics.
Allocation of the time slot
Notification of authors
The tutorial committee reserves the right to assign a shepherd to some accepted submissions to ensure quality standards.

TERMS & CONDITIONS

You agree to organize and conduct the tutorial in person in Hamburg by submitting a tutorial proposal.
Tutorial presenters need to be registered as tutorial attendees.
We will grant complimentary tutorial passes to a limited number of tutorial presenters:
- Full-day tutorials: at most, seven presenters
- Half-day tutorials: at most, four presenters
We will provide meeting room facilities and basic technical equipment for the tutorial sessions
Tutorial presenters will have to bring their laptops and adapters. Hands-on tutorials must be prepared to rely on laptops brought by the participants.
The tutorial organizers will have to align their program with the tutorial break schedule (morning sessions are from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.; afternoon sessions are from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., with coffee breaks and lunch in between). Catering will be available during the coffee and lunch breaks for all registered attendees of the tutorial.
Tutorial organizers are responsible for submitting the relevant material to attendees (working materials). This material includes, but is not limited to, slides, teaching materials, software installation guides, and usage guides for hands-on sessions. The tutorial organizers agree to release this material to the tutorial attendees.
Presentation slides and working materials will be available on the event platform for registered attendees.
