  • Submit your document in PDF format to ensure that all fonts, symbols, and equations appear the way they were originally typed.

Final papers should be uploaded to Conference Maker using the following naming convention: X_PAPER_Y.PDF, where X is your session number and Y is the last name of the presenter.   If you have a problem uploading the paper, please send it to NEUDC2019@northwestern.edu using the same naming convention.

Submit your paper online at the NEUDC Conference Maker website.

Presentations and Discussions 

  • Each paper presentation will be 15 minutes long, with 5 minutes for discussants and 5 minutes for Q&A from the audience.
  • Presenters and discussants are expected to bring their presentations on a USB stick to the conference.  Each room has a resident computer where you will upload your slide deck; you should arrive early at the session in order to do this.
