Session Logistics
Slides are not required, and we only encourage slides if a visual is needed to aid the discussion. For panel sessions, panelists will decide if they would like to submit slides during their planning call.
If speakers decide to submit slides, they should submit via their Speaker Portal by Friday, September 5.
For sessions with multiple speakers using slides, speakers should also visit the AV table at least 15 minutes prior to their session start time to inform the AV technician the order the slides should be show in.
It’s always a good idea to bring your slides on a USB drive as a back-up.
To make updates to slides after the deadline, bring updated slides pre-loaded onto a USB drive to the Speaker Ready Room at least two (2) hours prior to your session. Slides submitted by Friday, September 5 will be loaded into the conference app for attendees to be able to view during the event.
If your presentation includes videos, please let an RE+ Events Education team member know.
Yes, RE+ Events provides a way for audience members to submit questions digitally from their devices via a QR code displayed on the screen. This is standard for all sessions, across all shows. This allows for more accessibility and inclusivity of audience member engagement and is a time saver for most sessions.
You can find out more about this tool here.
Reach out to [email protected] as soon as possible to confirm the details of your session.
Our team will begin the process of scheduling one session planning call about one month prior to the event. This is when you’ll meet an RE+ Events Education team member, learn about event logistics, and discuss content with your moderator and/or other panelists and speakers. After this call, you’ll be put on an email thread with all other panelists so you all can share any session details and ask any questions to prepare for your session.
Additionally, panelists should plan to attend their invited breakfast/lunch in the Speaker Ready Room to be meet with their panel onsite prior to their session.
Due to time constraints, RE+ Events Education team members will only coordinate and participate in one planning call per session. Panels are welcome to schedule a second planning call, should they choose, on their own.
If you have confirmed speaking at an event, and have not yet heard from our team regarding scheduling a planning call, please wait until three (3) weeks prior to the event before inquiring about the call. It is likely our team is still firming up session details and will reach out when everything is finalized.
Our standard AV set-up includes an elevated stage, backdrop with event branding, screen/projector for display, lavalier microphone for each speaker, confidence monitor at the base of the stage, and a speaker timer. This may vary by session type and/or session location. You can find this information detailed in emails you receive prior to the event.
Please bring any updates to slides on a flash drive to the Speaker Ready Room and meet with the AV team there. Please do NOT email the RE+ team slides after the slide deadline. Slides sent via email likely will not make it to the proper location by the time of your session.
