2. BIOS & PHOTOS
All presenters biographies will appear on our website. Bios should be a short paragraph highlighting your experience and how it relates to your expertise in the subject you are presenting. Speakers are required to submit a photo which will also appear on the website as well. Photo should be headshots and either an .eps or high resolution .jpg sent via email to [email protected]. Bios and photos must be submitted once you confirm your participation in order to appear on the website. Please note we will not be including speaker’s bios & photos in the onsite printed guide.

5. AV REQUIREMENTS
Please design your presentation delivery using the standard package of AV equipment provided by Plant Based World Expo.
Standard Set:
- LCD Projector & Screen (16:9)
- Windows PC notebook computer
- Podium with wireless microphone (can be used hand-held or in microphone stand)
- DI Box to for audio or video in presentation.
- Head table with seating for each speaker.
- Tabletop microphones (one will be provided for every two speakers)
Things to Keep in Mind:
- You are responsible for bringing your presentation to the session room. This ensures you will have the latest and greatest version of the presentation at the time of your session. We recommend bringing your slides on a flash drive.
- PBW does not provide internet access in the session rooms.
- Personal Computers including MACs. We strongly recommend presenters use the computer provided with the room. The A/V team configures house computer to work with the projector and audio outputs. Using the house computer will allow for a fast reset between sessions and ensures we can provide the support needed. Our A/V set is not prepared for a MAC computer. If you are considering bringing your own computer, please email [email protected].
- Remotes/Laser pointers/Slide Advancers. We do our best to provide a remote in each room but find they often disappear. If it is instrumental to your presentation then you should plan to bring your own as we cannot guarantee one will be available.
6. PRESENTATION GUIDELINES AND DEADLINE
Please take a moment to review all of the presentation guidelines. It is your responsibility to coordinate with your fellow presenters as to who submits the final information. You can also download a presentation template and/or the PBW logo for use in your presentation.
