this is why it's a good idea to record presentations.
If the organizers aren't able to set this up (and for many settings they cannot), it's still a good idea to set a voice recorder on the stand. It's not going to be nearly as good as a more professional setup, but it can be surprisingly good and incredibly useful for recreating a talk (and especially for recreating the Q&A session)

Transcribing this recording is still quite some work. If the author is willing to help there, that's great.

agreed, but it's _far_ easier even with the presenter than recreating the presentation without a recording.

See the audio person in advance, and carry a 1/8in.-2RCA patch cable and two RCA-1/4 in. adapters, and you can plug your recorder into "aux out" (usually 1/4 in.) or "tape out" (usually RCA) connectors on the mixer. Ask nicely and don't dork with anything.
