Recording presentations

CEGA can record your live presentation to be included in the CEGA Digital Library. This increases the presentation’s shelf life and allows more geoscientists to view the content, which in turn increases the brand awareness of your organization and recognition of the presentation.

If you would like to add your presentation to the CEGA Digital Library, please ensure you complete the Recording Permission form and submit the completed form to your CEGA contact person prior to the event date.

CEGA reserves the right to apply minor edits to recorded presentations prior to posting content. The edits will not affect the technical information presented. Upon written request, presenters are entitled to receive a copy of their recorded presentation; the edited version of the recorded presentation will be released six months after the event date.

Option 1: No land acknowledgment included in presentation
Option 2: Use the land acknowledgment provided by the presenters company
