Registration

As a presenter you must register to attend the conference to confirm your place on the agenda.  All presenters pay the registration fee. Travel and lodging must be booked separately and are not included in the registration fee. We understand your organization's travel plans may be in flux due to current industry challenges. But go ahead and register anyway. Our cancellation and refund policy remains the friendliest in the industry. Any attendee may change or cancel registration with full refund and no penalty fees if you notify us by Friday, Sept. 25 (i.e., the business day before the conference starts) and any sponsor may cancel their registration by Friday, Aug. 28.

Presenter Policy

By agreeing to present, you agree to abide by the RMUE Presenter Policy. A presenter orientation was held May 6.  You may view the recording at: https://vimeo.com/416109947.  Session co-chairs are assigned to each session on the agenda to assist and support you in preparation for the Exchange, and to ensure the delivery of top-quality, industry information presented by professionals engaged in the industry.  The Co-Chairs Roles will help you understand their requirements.

A separate orientation will be held for Sponsor Showcase Presenters.

General and Breakout Session Presenters

You and/or your co-presenters have been assigned a 30-minute time slot for PowerPoint slides or other presentation materials, including questions and answers. Make sure to plan at least 10 minutes for the Q&A discussion. Please help us stay on schedule by beginning and ending promptly. Plan to bring a copy of your presentation with you on a USB drive to upload to the conference laptop connected to the PowerPoint projector. We will keep a copy of your presentation on the conference laptop so we may upload it to the event website proceedings afterwards. Presentations must be approved by co-chairs no less than 24 hours prior to presentation. Modifications will NOT be accepted on site with co-chair approval.

Poster Presenters

You will be provided with a stand that will allow you to clip your mounted poster 24" wide x 36" tall in size onto the stand with a 12-inch square shelf for you to place business cards or a flyer. No electrical connections or other table area will be provided. You will be expected to set-up your Poster during lunch on Wednesday and take it down following the evening reception. You will be expected to stand near your poster the Networking Reception from 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm on Wednesday to describe your poster and answer questions. Remember to include a secret word for those who listen to your presentation, so they may enter the drawing and win prizes. We recommend you use FedEx to print, mount, and ship your poster for proper sizing, stiffness (there is no back to the stand, your poster hangs from a single center clip) and most economical use of packaging. Please, do not ship posters with wooden boards in the packages. Visit https://www.fedex.com/en-us/printing/posters/mounted.html#details to learn more.

To present your poster to the online audience, we will schedule a web recording session in early September so that each of the poster presenters may pre-record remarks for up to 10 minutes about their poster to accompany an online graphic of your poster.  This will allow the online registrants to learn from you even though they can’t be there in-person.  We will be back to you later this summer to schedule the recording session.
