Speaker Guidelines

Adhering to the guidelines and deadlines in this agreement is extremely important and will allow us to provide attendees with the most complete information, while representing your company in the best manner. If you have any questions, please contact Jon Osing immediately.

For the VoiceCon Orlando 2008 Conference we will require that all presenters use PowerPoint to create a computer-based presentation. Our experience has shown that this method offers the highest quality, the smoothest transitions, and is the most effective presentation for both attendees and speakers. Also, at the request of conference attendees, we will reproduce the conference proceedings on a secured web site. Please review the presentation guidelines prior to developing your presentation.

By asking you to adhere to the guidelines below, our purpose is to meet the conference attendees’ demand for information that is consistent among the spoken, visual, and printed elements of the presentation. Therefore, the file you provide containing your presentation will be considered final—no changes or updates will be allowed after the January 25, 2008, deadline. Further, no changes or updates will be allowed on-site at the VoiceCon Orlando 2008 conference.

All presentations will be pre-loaded onto conference computers before the conference begins. Each session room computer will contain all speakers’ presentations in the proper sequence. The playlist for each session will be complete, and no outside computer equipment will be necessary. This process will ensure the smoothest transitions between speakers and between sessions for the entire conference. Do not plan to use your laptop computer at any of the sessions.

Please upload the file containing your presentation to the Speaker Resource Center to arrive on or before Wednesday, January 25, 2008.

PLEASE NOTE:

  1. No changes or updates will be allowed after the January 25, 2008, deadline or on-site at the conference.
  2. Please be sure to number your slides.
  3. TechWeb Networks will provide the following a/v equipment: microphone, a PC with your presentation already loaded, projection screens, sound system, and projector.
  4. If you have any additional a/v request(s), contact Jon Osing at TechWeb Networks immediately.
  5. Any live phone lines required for your presentation must be ordered through Jon Osing with your billing information.
  6. Please avoid sales pitches and commercial presentations. Long experience shows that you will represent your company best by giving an educational, informative presentation.
  7. No sales/promotional handouts are to be distributed in the conference areas (including meeting rooms). Sales literature distribution is limited to exhibitor booths only.
