Every member of CMS has the right to present CMS results at conferences, workshops and meetings. Basically there are only two rules you have to obey:

Only approved material may be presented.
The procedure within our conference system CINCO has to be followed. In particular all talks and posters with CMS specific content and presented to non-CMS people need to be recorded in CINCO and approved by the committee and/or the relevant conveners. The only exceptions are university seminars.

Here is a short guide how you can become a speaker or a poster presenter at a conference:

Bookmark the CINCO web page https://cms-mgt-conferences.web.cern.ch/cms-mgt-conferences/Default.aspx and regularly update your profile (in My Info)
List the announced conferences (in Conferences)
Choose your favorite subject or meeting place and click on the conference title
Check if a talk and an abstract of your interest is already defined
- If yes, you can nominate yourself through the system (don't be shy, self nomination is the standard procedure). Even if there are already other candidates for this presentation add your name (the committee likes to have choices). You may ask your supervisor or the working group convener to support your nomination (again through CINCO).
- If there is no appropriate talk or poster, create a presentation yourself by adding an abstract and nominate yourself or somebody else (in Presentations). To speed up the process you should ask the appropriate working group convener to approve your abstract (remember rule 1).
Starting from CINCO the CMS Conference Committee will decide on the presenter taking into account profile, experience, recommendations, and the previous history.
Depending on the type of the conference
- the approved abstracts are sent by the committee to the conference and the speaker selection is completed after the talks have been accepted (typical for physics conferences) or alternatively
- the speaker selection is carried out first and the selected speaker is asked to submit the abstract himself (typical for instrumentation conferences).
