Speaker brief: notes from the Chair

• The majority of the presentations at our events are designed to be short and impactful. Sales pitches, company introductions and project overviews should be mainly reserved for the Expo zone. The talks are designed for each presenter to give his or her ideas and opinions on the theme (based on working experience) and to provide food for thought for the facilitated discussion to follow

• Please stick to your allocated time slot. The Chair for your session will ensure that no-one overruns so that there is sufficient time for debate. Timings will be very strict, as discussion is the  important aim for these sessions

• You have been invited to present new concepts, successful implementations, challenging questions. For speakers from commercial organisations - the exhibition is where you can promote your products; in the presentation sessions, please focus on general methods. You will find the audience quite unforgiving in this respect

• Please don't overcomplicate your message, and leave space for discussion. We are happy to review any presentations beforehand=

• We would be grateful if you stick to the title of your presentation, and refer to the theme of the session, to ensure as coherent a programme delivery as possible. Please let me know if you would like to discuss how you could best achieve that. I would be happy to put you in touch with other speakers in your session, so that you can fine-tune your presentations and avoid duplication

Using slides in your presentation

Please create slides in powerpoint 16.9 format 

Landor LINKS can manage the slides being used on the day to ensure no technical problems, or you can share your own screen.

If  Landor LINKS is managing slides, they must be sent 48 hours in advnace using the free, quick and easy We Transfer service to the email address 

Please avoid complext step-by-step transitions and bear in mind the sldies will be displayed in a window, so large font sizes are recommended.

Interaction with the delegates

During the event there will be a column on the right hand column there will be a “chat/poll/people” tab.

Every session has its own dedicated chat, where the session chair will encourage audience members to pose questions to you. 

Speakers are also able to interact with attendees through polling. If you are going to use polls in your session, prepare your questions or prompts 48 hours in advance and send through to us.

If you have any queries or questions, please email Juliana on juliana.orourke@landor.co.uk or call me on 07901 664058.

Exhibiting and presenting from your booth

For an optimised experience using Hopin, make sure you are using Google Chrome

Utilise all of the exhibition profile options, including:

• embedded video content 

• background image

• company logo and profile text 

• plus ways in which delegates can contact you 

• Make the most of the platform 'chat function located on the right hand side of the platform. 

Promote the fact that you are at the event and use the exhibition booth URL in any chat messages so delegates can quickly navigate to your booth.

• Exhibitors can also send direct messages and requests for Video Chat meetings with any other delegate via the chat function on the right hand panel

• Exhibitors are also encouraged to make the most of the video presentation mode on the booth. At any moment during the event an exhibitor can launch a presentation from their booth, as if you were at a live event, and delegates can gather around your physical booth. You can present and interact with them, also screen sharing slides or video content whilst you present. 

• If an attendee has a question they can post it in the chat or you can even ask them to join you by video chat

• Keep an eye on your booth traffic in the 'People' tab. You can see who is currently on your booth in real time and ask if they want to have a chat 

• As Hopin is a web-based platform you can post hyperlinks to reports, documents or web pages at any point during the event.  This is a great way to promote your company, services and products 

• Think about different ways to engage your audience in a virtual setting. Rather than a product pitch or demo, why not invite delegates to your booth for a social event - drinks, a quiz or a competition?
