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 require that ALL speakers submit, at a minimum, an outline of their presentation. If multimedia presentations are used, we request an electronic version of the presentation so that we can load it in advance on our conference computer and produce hard copies for our documentation book.

NOTE: If you're unable to provide your presentation or outline by the deadline, it is your responsibility to reproduce and provide copies, and it is also at your expense.

Presentations should be emailed to Usha James. If your presentation file is too large to send via email, you can either:

a. Transfer it to our ftp site at: ftpfiles.sourcemedia.com, Username: mcentee, Password: red34rum (Please save the file with your first and last name and send email notification of your file upload to usha.james@sourcemedia.com). You may also send your presentation via yousendit.com.
Or
b. Overnight a CD-ROM or memory stick to the attention of Usha James at One State Street Plaza, 27th fl., New York, NY 10004
