Session rooms are equipped with the following:

• Cabling
• Screen
• Microphone at table and podium
• Tent cards with names of speakers on them placed at speaker seating
• Riser with Head table for all speakers at the front of the room

Please note: laptop computers are not provided in the rooms

We encourage the session chairperson and speakers to hold a conference call to discuss session format and time sequence as well as discuss presentation overview as to avoid any content overlap.

A special speaker preparation room will be available to all speakers at the McCormick place. Location is on Level 4, South Building. See signage on-site for exact location. Speakers are welcome to use the speaker preparation room for on-site preparation meetings.

Presentation deadline: All speaker Power Point presentations are due by Friday, May 13

Please note: This is a firm deadline due to production time lines. Presentations that are not sent in by May 13, will not be included on the CD-ROM.

Presentations should be sent to Maureen Metzger, at mmetzger@iec.org in PowerPoint format.

• Presentations are to be non-commercial
• We do not have a PowerPoint template; feel free to use your own
• Avoid too much content on one slide, as attendee feedback has voiced negative comments with regard to this

• Bring your laptop computer, as laptops are not provided in the session rooms. We suggest loading all presentations on one laptop for easy transition from one speaker to the next.

• Chairperson to give introductory comments for approximately 5-10 minutes
• Speakers presentations should be around 10-15 minutes depending on the amount of speakers
• Reserve 10-15 minutes for Q&A at end of session, as strong feedback has shown this provides great value to attendees
