Your session is either on the Main Stage or in one of the two Classrooms. This information was emailed to you and can be confirmed on the online schedule.
Both the Main Stage and the Classrooms are located in The Great Hall.
We have created Google Drive folders for all sessions. There you can upload any images that you’d like included in the PowerPoint. You will also find talking points and questions that the Content Team has developed to help you prepare. Feel free to provide feedback or edits to the those.
Registration opening late summer.
All speakers will be able to pick up their pre-printed badges at the Show Management Desk in LobbyB1. Please have the QR code from your confirmation email available on a mobile device or printed.
IMPORTANT: All presentations MUST be on a USB drive and downloaded in PowerPoint 16:9 / wide screen format. The slide template can be downloaded within the Speaker Portal for you to use. Slides will also be uploaded to the Google Drive so that speakers can add assets as needed.
Our A/V system does not support any presentation that is stored on an online format like Google Slides. Speakers are responsible for bringing the correct format of presentation. Ensure your presentation is correct by using our slide template found on the speaker portal.
There will be an A/V desk at the Main Stage and at the Classrooms with a designated A/V technician. They will have a schedule and list of all presenters and sessions that are taking place within that area. Each presenter is responsible for delivering presentation materials (slide decks) directly to the A/V tech in the correct room at least 30 minutes prior to the session beginning. we ask that speakers, with or without presentation materials, plan to be in the room and available for mic/stage set up at least 20-25 minutes in advance of the session beginning.
The rooms include podiums (with microphones), hand held microphones for each speaker, bottled water (just off stage & on podium shelf). Those using slides will be given a slide advancer.
We will be using low chairs on the stage so please take this into consideration when planning clothing.
Thank you for participating in the 2024 International WorkBoat Show! This FAQ page should help better inform speakers of the stage set up onsite.
