Speaker Preparation

A speaker preparation area will be available at the symposium. 

All presenters must check-in at the speaker preparation area to confirm they are present and to upload their presentation onto the server.  Please bring your presentation with you on a memory stick.  If you do have embedded audio and video files these should also be saved separately on a memory stick so that they can be re-embedded if required.

Presentations should be uploaded at least 2 hours before your scheduled presentation time. 

Presenters will have an opportunity to go through their presentation once uploaded at the speaker preparation centre where an experienced technician will be available to assist you with uploading onto the server.

Presenters may email their presentations to Kerryf@turnersconferences.co.za however they are still required to check in at the speaker preparation area to check that all is in order with their received presentation.
