Presentation/Handout Materials

The most common complaint we receive from attendees is that speakers don't include handouts for their presentations in the conference workbook. Therefore, we request that all speakers who will use an electronic version of the presentation for their session please provide in advance so that we can load it in advance on our conference computer, as well as reproduce hard copies in our conference workbook.

Electronic presentation slides can be emailed as a Powerpoint file or PDF document to presentations@sourcemedia.com.

Note: If you're unable to provide a version of your electrictronic presentation or initial outline document by the APRIL 25 deadline for the conference workbook, we then ask that you bring copies for all attendees of your session to the conference.
