How we’ll support you
We’re a small and friendly Events Team, and we’re here to help you shine in front of our audience. We’ll support you every step of the way:
Before
- We’ll give you a full briefing ahead of the event to help you prepare your presentation.
- If you’re speaking at one of our conferences or seminars, we’ll support you with best practice on how to film a back-up presentation.
- We’ll work with you to make sure that your slides and presentation are as accessible and inclusive as possible.
- We’ll remind you of key deadlines.
- If you’re speaking at one of our conferences, we’ll prepare social media cards that you can use to promote your involvement with the event.
On the day
- You’ll be invited to a short screentest just before the event. This is so we can check your mic, video, lighting and screen sharing if you’re using slides. You can also ask any last minute questions that you might have.
- Our home team will keep an eye out in the chat for questions and comments from the audience and share these with our moderator/host. This frees you up to completely focus on delivering your presentation.
After
We’ll share some feedback from the event so you can bask in the warm glow of a job well done! Who doesn’t love getting great feedback?
- We’ll let you know when the event you spoke at becomes available on demand.
