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:
Important Deadline 26th June 2026 (applicable to speakers using a presentation file only)
We will check your slides to ensure they address the topics/ points previously agreed (N.B. sales/ product pitches are not permitted)
Please submit your presentation file in both PPT and PDF formats (to allow us to check for corporate/ non-standard font use)
We will also check your slides to ensure they display/navigate correctly and that any video/ audio/ animations you have included works as intended
N.B. As stated, sales/ product pitches are not permitted – we want to make this a constructive and enlightening conversation around shared challenges and developments and in our experience, those sharing thought leadership will garner the best response from the audience.
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
Presentations must be submitted in Microsoft PowerPoint. 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 as opposed to 4:3 ratio
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:
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 logos into your presentation file, please let us know
To submit your presentation file:
Smaller presentation files can be submitted by email
Larger files can be transferred via file transfer services like WeTransfer or Dropbox
