For Solo and Dual Presenters

For Panel Participants

​

​

Once all panelists are confirmed, WIA will introduce the full group via email. WIA will also coordinate one to two preparatory calls in August to help each panel align on the discussion focus and key questions. Moderators will be asked to lead these calls, guiding the group toward consensus on the topics to cover.

​

By September 8, moderators should submit a finalized list of panel questions to WIA staff and their panelists. In preparation, moderators are expected to gather background information on each panelist and create a structured plan for the session—outlining the question flow, assigning questions to individual panelists, and determining the overall order of discussion.


Presentation Formatting

Powerpoint presentations are due on Monday, September 8, 2026.

Please send via email to: ssynkovska@womeninag.com

​

  • ​Slide Ratio: Please format your presentation in 16:9 ratio.

  • File Type: Submit your slides as .ppt or .pptx file. We've experienced compatibility issues with other formats (including PDF, Keynote, and Google Slides), so please avoid using those.

  • Fonts: Use standard Microsoft Office fonts when possible. If you choose custom fonts, please include the font files when you submit your presentation.

  • Minimum Font Size: Use a minimum font size of 36 to ensure readability on large screens.

  • WIA Logo: Please use the WIA logo on your opening presentation slide. Find our horizontal or stacked logos here. 

  • Video/Audio: If your presentation includes any media, send those files separately in addition to embedding them in your slides. Our A/V team will have them ready to play independently in case of any playback issues. 

  • Additional Tools: If you're using any interactive or non-standard tools (like live polling, animations, or custom plugins), notify us by the presentation deadline so we can ensure full compatibility.


Day-of Session Logistics

  • Check-In: Please check in at the registration desk at least 1 hour before your session begins.

  • Room Arrival: Arrive at your assigned room 15 minutes before your session start time.

  • A/V Check-In: When you arrive, check in with the A/V table. They'll be expecting you and will assist in getting you prepped for stage.​
