Speaker Guidelines

Speaker's Presentation Format:

• All presentations must be submitted for review
• Each session will consist of a 30 minutes presentation and a 15 minutes Q&A
• Although there is no exact format, we ask that you keep your presentations to a maximum of 15 slides
  • All presentations should be in Microsoft PowerPoint format
  • For better visibility the font should not be less than 24 point
  • The first slide should include the talking agenda
  • The use of humor, anecdotes, quotes, charts, graphics, examples, video, and research data will enhance your presentation
  • The last slide slides should include lesson summaries
  • You should have full copyright or permission to the presented content
  • Please submit a one-page bio with links to your company's website in PDF format
• Presentations should cover best practices and be oriented towards senior management. While you are encouraged to give practical examples from your experience, the language should not be sales or self-promotion oriented.
• Email your presentation to us in advance and bring an electronic copy of your presentation on a USB drive. You may use your personal laptop, however, if you plan to do this please arrive one day early so that your laptop can be tested and connected
