Presentation Tips

Keep in mind that attendees are looking for tangible takeaways they can implement when they return to the office. People attend Augmented Enterprise to learn about the opportunities/applications and challenges of XR and related technologies in the workplace.

Focus on the How, not the Why: Don’t spend your time talking about why your session topic is important but rather how you did what you did as an end user. Ex. How did you get the funding, find a partner, develop content for the application, work with IT and other departments, overcome specific challenges, train employees on the tech, etc.

Remember that Augmented Enterprise caters to a wide range of industries and business areas. Make sure your presentation includes enough background material and helpful information to be understood/valuable to professionals even outside your specialty/sector.

Attire
We recommend business casual. Parts of the event are being recorded so we suggest wearing bright colors to stand out against the backdrop. If you are planning on wearing a dress or skirt, we recommend wearing tights since speakers will be on a raised stage and wearing a belt for the mic pack.

Create a personal agenda, message other attendees, browse exhibitor profiles, create/join meetups, and more.
