Information needed for a talk

When approached by somebody who wants to give a talk, ask for the following:

• Title of the talk, abstract and bibliography in English
• Biography and a photo for the about page

Additional considerations:

• Suggest a date to the speaker and make sure the date works for them. Normally we organize the talks with two weeks of antelation.
• Anticipate that while we will do the poster design, they will be in charge of printing and distribution of those. We do not reimburse printings.
• We will announce the talk through our webpage, twitter and WhatsApp group
• If they want to give a talk but are unsure about the topic, ask them about their interests and favorite classes
• Check with them if they will need slides
• Ask them if they want their talk to be recorded
• After the talk, they are welcome to give us supplementary materials. Supplementary materials are hosted in our GDrive and linked in the webpage.
