​HOW IT WORKS​​

​

• 1 month before: I (Michael) should have received your final Title of Presentation + 2/3 bullet points

​​

• 2-3 weeks before the event: We should receive your presentation. No specific format is required.                      You can use a 16:9 format Power Point or PDF. 

       Remember: basic presentation is 25min. + 5min. Q&A.                    

       Send to Michael by email or www.wetransfer.com . It will be

        very important to let us know about videos and demo's,                        if you have included them in the presentation.

​

• On D-day, we will welcome you at the A-V desk               (back of the room) 30min. BEFORE YOUR SESSION: we'll hook your microphone on + explain how the PowerPoint switcher works.

 ​

• The presentation will be run from OUR PC!! 

​

• You will be introduced by the Moderators.​

​

Panel Discussions:

• They consist of 3-4 speakers (+moderator), lasts for 30min. and no preparation is needed.

• Each speaker is asked to introduce themselves by the moderator and         give their opinion/ angle (3-5min.) on the main theme.

• Questions will come from the audience & moderator. 

​

As always, I will keep you updated regularly and ready to answer your questions & doubts, Michael
