360|iDev What’s being a speaker all about?
Posted on | December 29, 2008 | No Comments
It occured to me, that those not familiar with 360|Flex, don’t know what being a speaker means for an event we organize. So here’s a quick primer on what being a speaker is all about the 360|Conferences way.
What’s your session like?
80 minutes. yes that’s longer than most, we’ve had more good than bad feedback on this. We think it allows for better discussion, most agree. You DO NOT have to talk for 80 minutes. for all we care, talk for 10 and have 70 minutes of discussion with the audience. They’re your 80 minutes, use them as you like.
Slide deck or code?
Most of our attendees prefer code. write it live or at least show some canned stuff. Slides are totally cool if your preso isn’t about code (duh). Feel free to mix it up, get multimedia on it, whatever you like. We try to provide a slide template, if you’re gonna have slides we like you to use it, but it’s not a requirement.
Deliver your preso.
Get it to us ASAP! It’s that simple. Attendees want it. You’re welcome to put it on your blog, but we tend to give out a USB drive to every attendee, and they like it when the preso and/or code is on the drive ahead of the preso.
Hotel:
We cover your hotel. We cover Sunday night, through Tuesday night.
Speaker Sponsor Dinner:
As a token of our appreciation for your being a speaker, we have a dinner for our awesome speakers and sponsors on Sunday night.
We like to say that being a speaker at a 360|Conferences, inc event is like being an attendee with a little more responsbility. We don’t want people who come only to speak, we want speakers who come to learn and enrich the community.
