SHOW STOPPERS

I will not present at a panel or a conference line-up with an obvious lack of diversity, or if the conference organizers have expressed a dislike for diversity.
I expect the conference to have and enforce a code of conduct.
I don’t “pay to play”. As a presenter, I expect full access to the event.
I am not interested in sponsored speaking slots.

MY DELIVERABLES

A fitting talk to the outlined duration and time
Available to conference attendees
Available for promotional parts of the event (unless significantly conflicting with setup or preparation)
Promote my presence at your event
Publish my slides and materials after the talk

MY SETUP

I’d like to use my own computer and clicker
My slides are 16:9 format
I only send my slides in advance if there is live translation or signing.
My presentations may require sound – please check with me

MY EXPECTATIONS

Prime speaking slot for the talk
Professional stage setup
Recorded and published talks will be properly edited and promoted

COST AND PAYMENT

I do not expect to be paid for my presentations – If you have funds for speaker payment, please use this for diversity tickets instead.
If possible, I’d like the conference to cover my hotel and travel – If you cannot provide accommodations and travel, I would like my employer to receive sponsorship for picking up the bill. Additionally, if I’m traveling trans-Atlantic, I would like to add an extra day for jetlag, to assure the best possible presentation for your event.
