If you wish to make a session suggestion or submit a speaker, please email Victor Harwood (vharwood@digitalhollywood.com) a speaker bio, a backgrounder on your company and indicate the session topic/panel, day and time or new topic with 150 word description that you would like to be considered.

Rules of Thumb:
• Deadlines - there are no deadlines. Speaker selection begins when the agenda is posted. You will be notified via email as your speaker is selected. Speaker evaluation continues year-round. Your speaker may be placed on a wait-list for a session that is full - so that submissions for completed sessions are encouraged - the process of introducing your speaker to us has to start somewhere
• All sessions will have five or six speakers and a moderator
• If you wish to make a speaker submission for a session that appears to be full, please submit and your speaker will be considered for the wait list.
• Even if you have submitted before - or even if you have spoken at a prior event, when you receive the agenda for an event, you must resubmit your speakers with session preference - bio is not necessary.

Speaker Kits Mailed Prior to the Conference All speaker and moderators will receive, via email, a Speakers Kit about 5 weeks prior to the event. It will include helpful speaker hints, telephone numbers of all moderators and other information intended to help facilitate pre-event discussion among speakers. If you have a question about a particular session, the direction it will take, please discuss it with your moderator at that time or email us with your questions. Speaker badges will be good for attending the whole event and will be held for pick-up onsite at the event registration desk. For information on speaker presentations, A/V and more, scroll down this page.

All seminars or workshops at the Media Summit will be either 75 or 120 minutes in length. Each session will have at least five speakers in addition to a moderator. The general rule of thumb is ten minutes for each presentation with the time remaining left for questions from the floor.

For Session Content, please refer to the descriptions included on the session description pages on this website. Shortly, there will be a page for each session which includes names of speakers, their bios and a session description. Please keep your presentation targeted toward the topic description in the program and refrain from a lengthy company description and/or sales pitch.

Audio/Video presentations: It is expected that speakers will bring portable computers if they wish to make computer presentations. Those computer images will be projected onto a large screen through a RGB switcher then to a Sony, Panasonic or similar projector. Internet access will be available, however due to anticipated connection problems that many speakers have, we recommend that you put your website demonstration on your portable computer. Please email us with any questions. Please note which panel you are on, including name of panel, time and date.

Moderators
Session Moderators will have the task of providing a brief session overview, introduction of speakers, time management of the session as well as management of the Q&A. All speakers and moderators will be provided with speaker contact information, telephone numbers etc. to assist in communication, AV needs etc. prior to the event. Speaker information kits will be sent to all speakers one month prior to the event.
