You only *need* the slides for when you can watch the talk. Having the 
slides beforehand may be confusing and unhelpful. This means there is no 
reason to provide the slides until the talk actually happens.

I almost want to say, if you need to see the presentation live, attend 
the conference :) In some past conferences, there were no live streams, 
and people survived. It's nice to have, but it somewhat removes the 
incentive to support the conference by attending.

But then the slides provided online don't match the slides you are 
showing. That is not good.
