Your speaker pass will come through our registration system called Tito. If you haven’t received the email, please reach out to Ivana at ivana@inspired-minds.co.uk.

AV presentation Guidelines:

• If you plan to use any videos, please ensure they are embedded in the presentation.
• Presentations should also be brought with you on a USB as a backup.
• We strongly recommend using our provided laptop to minimise technical issues.
•  If you prefer your own, please let us know in advance so we can confirm compatibility with AV.

Presentation rehearsals

We will offer speaker rehearsals so that you can check through your slides/videos with the AV team. Please note this is ONLY if you’re giving a presentation – rehearsals are not for panel discussions or fireside chats.  We’ll share more information on how to book a rehearsal and exact time slots closer to the Summit.
