The Collections & Vulnerability Summit featuring the CDSP and U&T Conferences will be held on October 14 at the Midland Hotel in Manchester. Please click here to see the venue details and directions.
Presentation information and logistics
N.B: Please be advised that if you are taking part in the conference as part of a panel, you will not be required to submit a presentation.
PowerPoint slides are there to complement your talk. Make sure that you clearly define the message that you are trying to convey to your audience before you even consider writing any slides.
You will need to ensure you produce your presentation slides in a format of 16:9 for PowerPoint and make sure they are compatible with Microsoft Office.
VIDEO & SOUND
If you plan to play a video during your presentation, please do not rely on streaming straight from the internet. Please save the video file and send it to the event manager at least two weeks prior to the event. Please let us know if your presentation requires sound so we can ensure we can accommodate this.
NO SALES PITCHES
We greatly value the knowledge that our speakers bring to our conference, and stress that these sessions are in-depth educational sessions, not opportunities for sales presentations. We will review the presentations once they are sent to us and contact you if we feel your presentation is too sales heavy.
PRESENTATION TIMINGS
Please ensure you have allocated enough time for your presentation and a small Q&A after. This may seem like an obvious task but time can fly when you are on the flow of a presentation! If you need any help or tips for your presentation, please get in touch with Saul.
SUBMITTING YOUR SLIDES
Please submit your presentation slides in advance via e-mail to Saul no later than the deadline of Wednesday, 7 October to check over your presentation and to ensure there are no technical issues with our AV team.
Please be advised that your presentation slides will be made available to the registered delegates post conference in PDF format only. If you have confidential information within the presentation, please provide us with an alternative one to send.
AUDIO VISUAL
Credit Strategy will provide the standard equipment for your session. If you require any special equipment, please let Jazzmin know by Wednesday, 7 October.
PANELLIST INFORMATION:
Please be advised that if you are attending the conference as part of a panel, you will NOT be required to submit a presentation as detailed above and we ask that you arrive to the conference room at least 30 minutes before your panel session.

Please arrive at the conference room at least 30 minutes before the start of your session, or by the break before your session. This is important for us to be able to introduce you to the conference room host, the AV representative and, if you are on a panel, your fellow panellists as well as the conference chair.
