Technical Division, Technical Webinar and Technical Luncheon programs
The CSPG maintains high technical standards. Presentations should be prepared for the interest and benefit of the CSPG membership, which is made up of geoscientists, managers, executives, consultants, students, and academia. Technical presentations should not be prepared to promote a particular product or company.

Recording presentations
CSPG can record your live presentation to be included in the CSPG 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 CSPG Digital Library, please ensure you complete the Recording Permission form and submit the completed form to your CSPG contact person prior to the event date.

CSPG 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.
