ContentTECH Summit 2022 Speaker Resource Center

This web page is designed to help speakers plan for their participation at the ContentTECH Summit 2022 in San Diego, CA on March 22-24, 2022.

Congratulations on being selected to speak at the ContentTECH Summit! We are excited to be providing a resource for marketers to learn how new technologies and innovative processes are fundamentally changing what our work will look like in the next two to five years. You are part of this special group!

We know you are an expert, but we’ve included a few speaker guidelines to keep in mind as you prepare for the event. We’ve learned about our audience preferences through surveys and conference evaluations. These suggestions should help you provide a strong presentation. Here are a few tips:

1. We’ve pivoted and re-pivoted and re-re-pivoted in some cases. Let’s retire the word PIVOT from presentations now that the pandemic is part of our daily lives. Let’s be forward thinking and not focus on all things COVID-related.
2. Research statistics – please don’t cite anything that is more than one year or so old. Trends change quickly and anything more than a year or two old will look like a velour track suit!
3. Please join us on our diversity and inclusion efforts by ensuring that your presentation photos and graphics reflect our diverse community.
4. Your slides – for all presenters, please use more pictures and fewer words on your slides. Tell stories around the pictures. If you have more than 30 words on your slide, attendees will try to read that and tune you out. Be the focus of the presentation and use slides to support your major points.
5. Please tell us your pronouns so that we can ensure that your moderator introduces you properly.

As you work through your presentations, please keep these five points in mind. In reviewing thousands of evaluations over the years, we know these five aspects are critical for creating a valuable event experience.

Thanks for offering your time and insight. We are honored to have you as part of this special event.
