Most presentations have an abstract (pdf file), presentation (pdf file of the presentation slides) and a podcast (mp3 file of the live audio recording of the presentation). Note that if you open the presentation and podcast in separate windows, you can listen to the speaker while following the slides: a very effective reproduction of the presentation.
