In November (or December) of the preceding year, the PC meets to establish the general program (emphasis, scope) and draw up a list of possible invited speakers. Previous to the meeting, there may have been a period in which EPS members could have presented (anonymous) suggestions for invited speakers ('open forum' web interface, provided by the LOC). The precise dates of the various phases (see time line above) will also be established.

It is important to have preparation work of the PC ahead of the meeting, so that an overall opinion of the PC members on the various proposed talks is already in place before discussion at the meeting. This work can take place within each PC subgroup for regular invited, with coordination by the sub-Chairs, but it should be across groups for the choice of plenaries, and therefore coordinated by the Chair. Also the discussion about the plenaries at the meeting should take place within the whole PC, whilst for regular invited it takes place within each sub-group separately.


As a rule, a specific speaker cannot be invited if he has already been an invited speaker in the preceding two conferences. This rule is meant to give up-and-coming talents a fair chance at being invited.

The LOC provides a website with information for conference participants. It should contain, at least:
 
The LOC provides a website with information for conference participants. Ideally an initial web page will be ready at the end of the preceding conference, so people can know where and when the next conference will be.
 
Also, in the period from July (end of previous conference) to October there should be a link in the conference page to a webpage for people to submit proposals for invited speakers. It would be extremely helpful to the PC if the LOC can automatically generate a database (confidential, only visible to PC members) of all proposals received, with entries for proposed speaker, affiliation, proponent, title of proposed talk, rationale and abstract.
 
Eventually, the web site should contain, at least:
* The list of Committee Members
* The list of Committee Members
* The list of Invited Speakers
* The list of Invited Speakers (after winter PC and Board meeting, usually December)
* The Conference program (after the PC March meeting). It is strongly recommended to maintain an up-to-date "master copy" of the program, which is edited and used by the PC, OCS, LOC webmaster and eventually in the printed program leaflets.

Invited and Oral speakers are '''not''' allowed presenting a poster as well (in line with the rule of one contribution per main author).
The reason for this rule is not to draw attention away from poster contributions that are presented only in the poster session, considering that oral presentations already receive much attention.
