TERMS & CONDITIONS
To make sure everything runs smoothly and everyone gets the most out of the experience, here’s what we kindly ask of our speakers:
Commitment to Participation:
- Please send a headshot, bio and company logo to confirm your participation for the agreed date and time. These will be used on your speaker profile on the website, as well as in banners for social media.
Backup Speakers:
- Things don’t always go to plan—we get it! If you can’t make the session, please make sure that you have a backup speaker prepared and let us know as soon as possible so we can adjust.
Content Approval:
- Workshop presenters will be asked to send their title and a brief abstract of their session ahead of confirmation, to ensure that it aligns with the rest of the agenda. Presentations and workshops prioritise industry insights and education, avoiding sales pitches.
Spreading the Word:
- Speakers will be sent several different banners for social media in the run-up to the event, to promote the session and their participation. We’d love it if you could post these to share your involvement with your network and help drum up excitement for your session.
Complimentary Speaking Slots:
- As per company policy, complimentary speaking slots can only be offered to end-user organisations or industry bodies/associations.
Data Capture:
- CPD is our event partner and accredits our training workshops and conference sessions. CPD stands for continuing professional development. People are free to attend each of the sessions and will get scanned into each session by a member of staff. We are unable to share this data with speakers; the only organisations that receive the scanned data outside of CPD are sponsors, who have paid for the data to be included as a part of their sponsorship package.
PANEL DISCUSSION FORMAT
All our panel discussions are 50 minutes long - 40 minutes of discussion, followed by a 10-minute Q and A with the audience.
Each panel will have a moderator and 4-5 other speakers in the discussion. This is an informal panel discussion and there are no slides needed. Each speaker will submit 2 talking points/questions for the moderator to raise during the discussion.
You will be introduced to your panel via an individual email thread. When panels are introduced, you will be asked to share your speaking points and these can be formatted as statements, questions, bullet points, and case studies - whichever format you would prefer.
Your moderator will set up a prep call ahead of the event in order to prepare for the session. You'll also have access to the VIP lounge at the event, so please feel free to meet up there with your panel beforehand, to grab refreshments and relax before your session.
WORKSHOP FORMAT
The workshop sessions are 50 minutes long. We recommend planning the session to be around 35-40 minutes, to allow for an audience Q and A at the end.
Each workshop will have 2-3 presenters and has an educational focus. Whilst the title will need to be signed off by the conference team, the topic and content are up to the speakers.
The deadline for slides to be sent across is Wednesday, April 30th 2025. Each presenter will also be asked to bring a spare copy on a USB on the day of the event, as backup.
A copy of all workshop slides are sent to our VIP ticket holders after the show, so we would recommend including your contact details so they can follow up with you afterwards.
