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 at UBM immediately.

For the VoiceCon San Francisco 2008 Conference we will require that all speakers 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 presentations deadline. Further, no changes or updates will be allowed on-site at the VoiceCon San Francisco 2008 conference.

All presentations will be pre-loaded onto conference computers before the conference begins. Each session room computer will contain all speakers’ presentations. 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 the presentations deadline: June 21, 2008.

PLEASE NOTE:

1. No changes or updates will be allowed after the presentations deadline or on-site at the conference.
