Please make a note of the following important submission deadlines and file preparation guidance. Please note this information is only applicable if you will be supporting your speaking opportunity with a PowerPoint file:
What is content review? We will check your slides to make sure they address the topics/ points previously agreed
What is technical review? We will check your slides to make sure they display/ navigate correctly and that any video/ audio/ animations you have included work
Your attention to these deadlines will help us create a seamless programme which will be launched and navigated from a single master laptop in the conference theatre. Use of your own laptop will therefore not be permitted – thank you in advance for your understanding
If you are using non-standard fonts (e.g. a corporate font), you MUST embed them into your presentation to make sure the fonts, layout, and styling of your file don’t change when viewed on a different device. Here’s how:
Click the File tab and then click Options
In the left column, select the Save tab
At the bottom, under Preserve fidelity when sharing this presentation, select the Embed fonts in the file check box
Also select Embed all characters (best for editing by other people) in this section
Select OK and save your file
Presentations must be submitted in Microsoft Power Point. PDF’s will only be accepted during the review process alongside the PPT file (to check for corporate/ non-standard font use), and cannot be used on the day
Your presentation should be created and saved in On-screen Show format (16:9)/ widescreen
Please ensure the number of slides submitted is suitable for your speaking time – we have a busy schedule, therefore overrunning will not be possible
Extensive corporate profiling is discouraged – please include no more than 2 x slides that give an overview of your company
If you are using any corporate fonts please also supply these along with any movie/music file codec
Please ensure you have written permission for the use of any music/photos or film used in your presentation
If you plan to show video(s) during your presentation, please do not embed them into your PowerPoint file. Instead, submit them as separate/ stand-alone files, hyperlinked into your presentation file. We will be happy to link the videos in for you, if the appropriate set-up instructions are also provided
If you would like to incorporate any of our logo into your presentation file, please click HERE
To submit your file:
Smaller presentation files can be submitted by email
Larger files can be transferred via file transfer services like WeTransfer or DropBox
