Please complete the Speaker Consent Form. This form is required for all speakers for this event. The event will be streamed to virtual participants, but will not be recorded.
Please prepare and upload your presentation by April 28. Note:
There will be a presentation laptop (i.e. not yours unless you are virtual), an advancer, and a laser pointer at the lectern. No thumb drives will be permitted due to security reasons.
Please remember to speak near the microphone so both in-person and virtual participants can hear your presentation.
For clarity to virtual participants, we would like to remind all speakers to please repeat questions so all can hear properly, and remember to please speak into the microphone at all times. Someone in the audience will share online questions if applicable.
Last minute changes will be difficult for the media team to accommodate. For example, a change in uploaded google slides may not translate as the tech team uploads them to the presentation laptop the day before. It is essential to have it local on the presentation laptop so there are less errors, this also means links in the presentation will not work. Thus the requirement to embed videos.
If you have any questions, check in with the tech team at the desk in the back on the break, lunch or morning of your talk. Please do not talk to them while they are producing another speakers presentation or when they are busy before the just before the production begins. Please give them plenty of time and try to not be last minute for the flow of the event.
A quick run through meeting is required to test all virtual presenters. We ask that all presenters please attend this meeting pre-event to test their equipment, sound and lighting to assure a smooth event flow. This will take 3 to 8 minutes per person.
During this meeting, audio/visual technical staff will help pre-trouble shoot any issues and make sure things are coming across ideally to event participants.
