Promote Your Session: Speaker Graphic Banners and Social Media

Share your information with your client lists and on social media! We will be using InGo this year for our social media banners. Please follow the instructions below to easily create & customize your post and share it with all your networks.

Use the InGo Link and select “next” for either LinkedIn or Facebook and log in with your credentials.

You will see 3 post options to choose from that all include the conference details. Select which post you prefer:

  • The default option includes your headshot, name, title, and company (as it appears on LinkedIn).

  • The second option includes your headshot and name only.

  • The third option does not include your headshot or personal information

  • For LinkedIn posts, the text box will include standard conference messaging, but you can edit it as needed. For Facebook posts, you will need to add your own message.

  • Then click on “Post & Continue."


New in 2026 – Pre-event Content Creation!

To build-up the momentum and to highlight upcoming sessions, we will be working closely with the speakers to create content for our audience prior to the event. This will include written and video interviews, blogs and insights, upcoming session promotions, social media activities and much more!

We will reach out to selected speakers by mid-December, but if you have a compelling story to share, a unique view on where the industry is heading, groundbreaking case study or innovative solution – contact our content marketing specialist, Noor Kaur Virdi (noorkaur.virdi@informa.com) or conference director, George Pirchalaishvili (george.p@informa.com)

Session Planning

If you are part of a 60-minute panel session, we will schedule a planning call about 4 weeks prior to the event. Panels that were organized by a moderator prior to acceptance in the program may plan their own calls.

All sessions include this standard AV set:

  • Laptop (Windows 11) at podium with your slides already loaded via the presentation management software.
  • Projector and Audio connection via HDMI and USB-C. We will have additional adaptors available should they be needed.
  • Projector screen for any slides
  • Wireless lavaliere microphone and handheld microphone
  • Presenter table
  • Podium with podium microphone

Speaker Benefits at IWCE

Registration

You will be pre-registered by IWCE event management. Speakers will receive a complimentary Speaker Pass, which provides access to all panel discussions, power sessions, sponsored sessions, keynotes, networking opportunities, special events, and the exhibit hall.

  • Please note: ETA training is not accessible with your Speaker Pass. If you would like to add an ETA training to your speaker registration, reach out to caitlyn.dardich2@informa.com
  • Closer to the event, you will receive a registration confirmation email containing your personal QR code. Please bring this with you to pick up your badge at the registration desk on site.

Complimentary Lunch

You will receive complimentary lunch tickets for each day that you present.

Book Your Hotel

Book with IWCE’s hotel partner, Convention Housing Partners (CHP). They are the ONLY housing partner endorsed by IWCE. If you are contacted by other third-party companies offering hotel assistance, please be aware they are not endorsed by our event. Entering into financial agreements with these companies can have costly consequences and is not protected by event management. Click the link below to see the housing options and rates.

Speaker Commitment

As a speaker at IWCE, you have committed to present this session, and all the preparation that it entails. In return, IWCE agrees to promote you, your company and your presentation to its attendees through a vast promotional campaign. Both you and IWCE have made a promise to our attendees to deliver the session as published, including the topic and the speaker.

By presenting, you acknowledge and agree that IWCE shall have the non-exclusive worldwide right, in perpetuity, to record, copy, reproduce, display, sell, distribute and otherwise use, for IWCE’s account, all or any portion of the content of your presentation (the “Licensed Material”), in audio, video, written and/or any other format or medium, whether now existing or hereafter developed. In conjunction with any such use by IWCE, both agree to make commercially reasonable efforts to provide an attribution of your ownership of the underlying Licensed Material, and, in any event, none of the foregoing shall limit your ability to use your own copies of the underlying Licensed Material for your own purposes, whether commercial or otherwise.

It is imperative that your presentation is not a sales pitch for you or your company. No speaker may use a conference session for commercial sales pitches, self-promotion or unfair criticism of a competitor. If it is determined that a speaker presented a sales pitch or criticism, that company and speaker will be excluded from future events.

ADA (Americans with Disabilities) Assistance

If you require special assistance, auxiliary aids, interpreters or other reasonable accommodations while at IWCE, please send your requests to caitlyn.dardich2@informa.com and we will do our absolute best to accommodate them.

Exhibits

If your company is not already exhibiting, having a booth on the IWCE exhibit floor provides access to a much greater audience than just your session, and gives conference attendees a place to get further information about you, your company and your products after you present.  Remember, your presentation MUST NOT be about your products and services, so make sure you have a booth on the exhibit floor to demonstrate your company’s hottest products.
