Here is briefly listed the next steps to get to the event in presence which will then be broadcast online. You will find below the communications you expect from us and the related timing.
Towards the conference
Proposal accepted! Confirm your availability
From the day the CFP closes, we are committed to selecting the talks within 3 weeks and sending a communication regarding the outcome.
If your talk has been accepted you will receive an email with the request for confirmation of your participation and the request for special needs regarding the schedule.
Remember to answer by the date indicated with your availability, we will do our best to meet the needs of each speaker.
We will also send:
- what is included in your speaker pack;
- how the event works.
Remember to add the conference email to the address book to prevent it from going into SPAM.
Get on board, you are officially a speaker!
Once we have received your availability and time requirements we will send you:
- an image that you can start sharing on your social channels to communicate that your talk has been selected for the conference, or to put on the cover of your slides;
- the conference media kit to promote your participation in the best possible way;
- a discount code to share with your contacts;
- useful info to prepare your talk.
Free bronze sponsorship
As a speaker, your company is entitled to a free Bronze sponsorship, or a discount of the same value on a higher level sponsorship if it funds your hotel stay.
We will ask you to give us the contact details of those who deal with this type of activity if you are interested in order to request all the data necessary to be able to add you among our sponsors.
GrUSP Season Pass
To thank you for your availability, in addition to the bronze sponsorship, if you wish, you can request a code to receive your GrUSP Season Pass. You can redeem it directly on the Eventbrite of each conference.
