Your Presentation

Rough drafts are due Friday, May 7th

Final presentation slides are due Thursday, May 20th.

Please make sure your presentation is original content and non-promotional (no affiliate links or opt-ins). We encourage you to use highly visual content when possible (“show rather than tell”), and prefer screenshots over live-demos, which can be unreliable. The goal is to provide leading-edge insights and highly actionable tactics and tools. There will not be live Q&A, please bake your most frequently asked questions into your presentation.

What to Include

These guidelines will help you present a great session that is consistent with our attendees’ expectations. Here are the components we’re looking for in your slides:

Summit Title Slide

What are we covering – “We’re going to do these things”
Main content
How the content helps address the problem mentioned in the overview slide
Action Items
How to get in touch (with picture)

Slide Template & Format

Advance Preparation

Pre-conference Call

We ask all Summit presenters to schedule a pre-conference call with Phil and Lori in the weeks prior to their presentation. During this call, we will go through the general overview/flow of your session and of the Summit. This is a relaxed process and is intended to help you feel prepared for the live event, understand what to expect from us, and get your questions answered. It will last up to 30 minutes.

Technical Info

All sessions use the online platform Streamyard.

Live Session Day

Please plan on logging in for your presentation 15 minutes before your scheduled session time.

Speed Test

Please complete a speed test on the computer you will use for your live training session. If you encounter less-than-optimal results, please contact Lori: [email protected]
