LIVE EXHIBITOR PRESENTATIONS

You will present from a Microsoft Teams Meeting that we are calling the “Green Room” Your voice and video feeds will be pulled using our production team and sent live to the audience. You will not see the audience while you are presenting. We will have a practice meeting to allow you the time to get familiar with sharing your screen, Teams audio settings, and other aspects of Teams. You must attend the practice session so that we can make sure you are set for the live presentation. Please read below to prepare you for the event. Please read all of these details.

  • How long can my presentation be?
    • Up to five minutes. You will be cut off at exactly five minutes in order for us to keep to the posted agenda.
  • Will there be time for Q&A?
    • Attendees can ask questions through the chat within the live event. You can answer via the chat and direct them to your contact info online. There will not be time for live Q&A.

  • What link will I use to present?
    • We will send you a Microsoft Teams Meeting link for presentations. Your audio will be live, so you must enter on mute and wait for your queue from the event emcee to present. Once you are finished presenting, you will leave the green room and you can continue to watch the event or any presentations using a separate LIVE EVENT link provided for registered attendees.

    • You may use slides as part of your presentation, but you must provide them in advance (January 19). You are not required to use slides as part of your presentation. You can speak directly to the audience, share a booth you have built, or show a corporate video as well. We must get any media in advance so that we can queue it for you.

    • Yes, please provide the recording by Tuesday, January 19.

  • Can we set up a private virtual meeting room through our online exhibit profile?
