Meet with your producer to prepare your content and session room
Work with your producer:
  • Schedule your one-on-one prep time with your producer to prepare for your online session.
  • Your technical set-up is crucial and will require a wired internet connection, a good quality microphone, and a quiet place from which to present.
  • Review presentation materials, create polls, test audio and video in the event platform.
  • Because speakers have varying skills and needs, the amount of prep time will vary.
  • Leverage Guild publications, research reports, and other curated content that you might find helpful for your presentation.
Most speakers, even seasoned professionals, may require two to three 30 – 60 minute sessions to finalize the session and technical details.
