UPLOADING YOUR PRESENTATION

Speakers can upload their presentations at any time from the beginning of the Summit and do not need to wait until the day of presentation.

Speakers in morning sessions are strongly advised to pre-load their presentation the day before.

Modification of the presentation is possible at any time prior to the session at the Speakers’ Ready Desk, until 30 minutes before the session starts.
