PRESENTER INFORMATION
Thank you for hosting a Lunch and Learn or Coffee Talk during the 2026 DoDIIS Worldwide Conference. There will be four simultaneous theaters offering separate presentations during the daily lunch break. Please reference the frequently asked questions below to help you prepare for your presentation. As we get closer to the date, we will post your specific time slot and the other presenters that will be going before or after you. We will also announce which theater you will be presenting in, so you know where to go on the day of the event. Below is a required form that the presenter or coordinator must fill out prior to the event. This is due by June 22, 2026. This information is needed not only to market and promote your presentation, but also for printed and digital agenda purposes. Please let us know if you need any additional information.

Do I need to bring my presentation with me, or should I send it in advance?
- YES! Please bring your own computer and presentation pre-loaded on the computer.
- If you plan to have videos, music, or embedded sound, please make sure you rehearse at your specific theater prior to the presentation so that we can pre-set the appropriate audio for your presentation.
How long can my presentation be?
- Lunch and Learn presenters have up to 20 minutes, inclusive of time for Q&A if you wish to leave time.
- Coffee Talk presenters have up to 15 minutes, inclusive of time for Q&A.
What Audio/Visual is provided?
- NCSI will supply a projector, screen, and connection cables for your computer.
- There will also be a microphone and podium on a small stage.
- Please let us know in advance if your computer requires special connections outside of HDMI.
How many people should I expect to attend?
- Each of the theaters can hold up to 250 attendees, and have reached capacity each year.
- The theaters are located in the exhibit hall and attendees must pre-register to attend the lunches.
- The Coffee Talk presenters will go immediately following the Lunch and Learn, and we expect attendance to drop slightly, but based on years past, you can expect about 70% of the crowd. We try to make a very quick transition between speakers to not lose the crowd!
Will I get a contact list of people who attended the lunch?
- Advance lists will not be provided, but you will be provided with a list of people who attend the lunch. NCSI will scan badges as attendees enter the lunch theater.
- All contact information provided is subject to the “opt in” provisions during registration.
- This list will be sent after the conclusion of the conference.
