Preparing your presentation for the Digital Forum

Present your research

Presenting on the Advanced Lithography Digital Forum

As we transition to an online format, please review the information below to better prepare your presentation and manuscript. Specifically review the Prepare to Present section for further details regarding the creation and uploading of either your poster or oral presentation, since we have recently made revisions to these requirements.

Here's why submitting a presentation to the digital forum puts a spotlight on your work:

- the Digital Forum brings you international visibility
- your research becomes a part of the world's permanent scientific record
- your work will be indexed in all relevant scientific databases

Make sure that your research gets timely publication in the SPIE Digital Library.

Do you have questions? Please reference the FAQs at the bottom of this page.
