SPONSOR SPEAKER FAQS

  • Getting session information to us promptly allows delegates to add your session into their plans for the day. There are eight theatres of concurrent sessions running across the day, and 70+ sessions in total, which is why it is so important to have your session information confirmed and on the website early. 

    Bringing a speaker from one of your clients, and customer success stories, resonate more strongly with the audience and showcase what you do. 

    Panels perform better than presentations (72 audience members on average for panels versus 51 on average for presentations). 

    If in doubt, the content team is more than happy to make suggestions to any ideas you have for your session. 

  • The deadline for finalising all your session content with our team is close of play Monday 17 March, to ensure it is uploaded onto the website. 

    On 20 March, delegates receive access to our event platform and start planning their day from the information available. If your session content is not online by this time, 90% of our audience will not know it is even taking place. 

    If you have your session title and synopsis ready before your speakers, please send this through – any information delegates can see about your session is better than none. Amends and additions can be made very quickly by our team. 

  • Yes. Generally, our sessions are made up of either 3 bullet points or a brief introductory sentence and a couple of bullet points. We therefore recommend your session information follows the below template: 

    Tackling Disadvantage to Improve Educational Outcomes, Behaviour and Attendance  

    Panel  

    • Exploring how supporting the most disadvantaged in your setting can promote better educational outcomes for all   

    • Using evidence-informed practice to improve outcomes for students from disadvantaged backgrounds  

    • Identifying how early intervention can support disadvantaged pupils and contribute improved attainment, behaviour, and other outcomes in later life  

  • We will register your session speakers for the event. In order to do so, we will need their full names, job titles, organisation name, and contact e-mail address. Please also ensure you send over speaker biographies (100-250 words) and photos for the website. 

  • To build out master decks and double check slides for 80+ sessions, our AV team requires all presentations to be sent through by close of play on Friday 2 May. After this point, we cannot guarantee any submissions or amendments will be accounted for. 

  • Your presentation: 

    • Must be in .pptx format 

    • Must be in 16:9 ratio 

    • Any embedded media must be sent through as a separate file (ideally in 1080p as an MP4 file) 

     Any files too large to attach to an e-mail should be sent to the content team directly via WeTransfer, and the WeTransfer link also shared in an e-mail to the team as a back up.
