Speaker Guidelines
What Do the Speakers Get?
- Global visibility and branding. The Speaker's biography will be published on
the conference website. The conference website will be promoted through
worldwide press-releases, direct email, fax, and magazine advertising to tens of thousands of Fortune 1000
executives, managers and consultants
- Mention of the Speakers and their companies on the conference's
promotional material
- Receive complimentary access to all of the conference sessions,
including other Speakers,
networking events and media sessions.
- The Speaker's session video will be posted on the IIM website.
Do You Pay the Speakers?
- IIM does not pay for the Speaking engagements. The conferences and
its pre-event global marketing campaign provide a valuable platform to develop
the Speakers' brand, credibility, increase their visibility and promote their businesses. IIM events
are also a great opportunity to get access to potential high-profile clients.
Speaker's Presentation Format:
- All presentations must be submitted for review
- Each session will consist of a 30 minutes presentation and a 15 minutes
Q&A
- Although there is no exact format, we ask that you keep your presentations to a maximum of
30 slides
- All presentations should be in Microsoft Power Point 2003 or earlier format
- Less text is more when it comes to text on slides
- For better visibility the font should not be less than 24 point

- The use of humor, anecdotes, quotes, charts, graphics, examples, video,
and research data will enhance your presentation

management. While you
are encouraged to give practical examples from your experience, the language
should not be sales or
self-promotion oriented.
- Email your presentation to us in advance and bring an electronic copy of your presentation on a USB drive. You may use your personal laptop,
however, if you plan to do this please
arrive early so that your laptop can be tested and connected
