Speaker Information

Preconference Seminars
Preconference seminars are three-hour sessions in the face-to-face venue

General Sessions
General session speakers are invited by the program committee for their expertise on a variety of current topics. These sessions are professionally streamed live for online conference attendees and the public and are available on-demand for postsession access for face-to-face registrants. They will be published, along with the Mp3 and Mp4 files, in the EDUCAUSE public library and will be available for at least three years.

Interactive Presentations (45 minutes)
Share topics of community interest through an innovative, thought-provoking format that encourages attendee active learning and participation from theater-style seating. Example strategies include creating a best practices document, checklist for developmental work, or a framework for establishing workgroups to guide attendee participation.

Panel and Point/Counterpoint Discussions (45 minutes)
Multiple speakers, each offering a perspective on an issue or set of issues, with ample time for participant feedback. Examples include campus IT and end-user viewpoints on emerging systems or technologies, point/counterpoint debates on controversial legal or policy issues, and campus perspectives sessions where panelists discuss a specific challenge or issue and insights are gleaned from multi-campus or multi-institutional initiatives. Although session interaction primarily takes place between presenter role-play and active dialogue, participant feedback and response to issues is encouraged using polls and Q&A.

Idea and Innovation Showcases (generally 12 minutes @ for 3 presentations)
Intense, fast-paced multi-presentation sessions that include sharing new ideas and methodologies, exchanging success stories, and exposing challenges that would benefit from group discussion. The key is to present a transformative idea and solicit discussion amongst attendees. Examples include discussing a tool, technique, or methodology that shows potential for widespread adoption or bringing up an issue that will provoke questions and discussion. Make it creative, make it fun, or make it funny! These sessions will have a moderator to facilitate presentations and the discussions.

Discussion Sessions (45 minutes)
A facilitator or facilitators knowledgeable about an information security hot topic leading a discussion of interest to the Security Professionals Conference audience.

Preparing to Present Online
Although no advance preparation is required to stream your presentation, EDUCAUSE has assembled a few resources and tips.

1. Consider the presence of your virtual audience and invite their participation throughout the session.
2. See our Speaker Concierge page for Online Presentation Design Tips and Resources.
3. Avoid wearing busy patterns or distracting clothing to put the focus on your presentation and visual cues.
4. Plan to use the microphone in your room and take a few moments to ensure your audio is transmitting clearly before beginning.
5. Attendees will have an opportunity to submit questions. A volunteer facilitator in the room will monitor and ask questions on behalf of the online attendees during the Q&A periods.

As a speaker, you must register in order to present. Be sure to register by March 18 (for the face-to-face meeting) and April 10 (for the online meeting) to get the early-bird rate.

This is our third online conference. Held simultaneously with the face-to-face conference, it will include 10 generaland concurrent session webcasts as well as exclusive interactive online sessions. Last year, over 100 people registered, and we estimate that over 250 people participated in the online conference (groups consisting of two or more team members watched from single locations).

Adobe Connect Recordings: Presented in real time using an Adobe Connect virtual meeting room, these sessions are recorded. Recordings are available to exclusively to online participants for 90 days then posted in our public EDUCAUSE Library.
Here are two examples of exclusive online sessions so you can see the flexibility of the Adobe Connect layout for fostering participant engagement using chat and questions/polls.

• Real Places, Virtual Spaces: Cibola as a Hispanic and Portuguese Island
• The Truth Is Out There: Social Media for Teaching and Learning

If you're on-site: We'll have a studio room at the conference hotel. You don't need to bring anything but yourself! We'll use Adobe Connect webinar software and provide you with all necessary session equipment including a landline phone, headset, Ethernet connection, and laptop. By April 8, you will receive a final information sheet with all session details including a floor plan, virtual room setup, and session timeline.

If you're offsite: You will need a high-speed WIRED connection (wireless and/or dial-up are not recommended or reliable), a telephone landline, and a headset with a mute button to connect to your telephone; also make sure you've completed the Adobe Connect system checks. By April 8, you will receive a final information sheet with all session details including technology requirements as well as the virtual room name and call-in numbers.

Slides and Polls (DUE APRIL 8)

Slides: Submit your slides to Victoria Fanning. If you don't use the EDUCAUSE PowerPoint template, please use Arial as your font. See our Speaker Concierge website for Online Presentation Design Tips and Resources.

Polls: The answers are radio buttons, and people can select one or more than one answer (it does not allow for rankings). You can also have a poll with short answers. Create a slide within your presentation with the question and possible answers. We will create the poll within Adobe Connect based on your slide. The slide also acts as a prompt for EDUCAUSE staff to display the poll during your presentation.

Registration and Logins: Please register for EITHER the face-to-face OR online conference. All speakers will receive a final information sheet that will include the physical room number, virtual room name, and call-in codes.
