PRE-RECORDING & PRESENTATION PACK
Once you have recorded it please check the below specifications:
File type: MP4
File size: No larger than 1GB
Please note that should you choose to record at home, this will be the final file that is uploaded into the platform. We will not be able to make any changes to files sent so please ensure they are good quality and you adhere to our technical requirements.
A kind reminder that we do request you include your video in your presentation, rather than a voice-over where possible.
A NOTE TO ALL: A kind reminder that all pre-recorded sessions will need to be completed and submitted no later than Friday 20th November 2020.
PRE-RECORDING PANEL & AGENDA
PRE-RECORDING PANEL & AGENDA
Panels will be scheduled by your speaker manager, we will aim to find a suitable time for all panellists where possible.
Panel sessions should not have slides included where possible, as we have seen a higher engagement with viewing multiple video feeds.
Moderators: Should you be a panel moderator, it is essential to connect with your panellists regarding the content of the recording prior to the recording meeting.
A NOTE TO ALL: We are aiming to schedule all the panel recordings by the Wednesday 18th November 2020.
Q&A's
Q&A's
Different types of sessions and tracks will have different types of Q&A's - your speaker manager will send more information on which type of Q&A your session has.
Further information will be sent to you closer to the time of the event in the form of a calendar invite and a link to join (depending on which type of Q&A you have for your session), this will be roughly 2 weeks out from the show. Should you not have received a calendar invite by the Wednesday 25th November 2020, please email your dedicated speaker manager.
