Each session room will have: screen, projector, PC laptop, wireless remote, Wi-Fi, wireless lavalieres, and sound (for videos). Note: speakers using their own Mac will need to bring their own adapter cable to connect to the projector.

Sessions will be 60 minutes each. To avoid disrupting other sessions, you're expected to stay within your allocated time slot. You should arrive at the conference venue at least 30 minutes before your session.

Due to the limited time of each session, please allow no more than five minutes to introduce yourself, your co-speakers and your backgrounds. The attendees are there to hear the content and key applications. Please also allow at least five minutes at the end of your session for questions. Be sure to direct attendees to complete the session survey that's located in the conference mobile app.

WorldatWork does not allow outside vendors hired by speakers to record (audio or video) or photograph any sessions or events including, but not limited to, sessions selected via the call for proposals process, receptions, prize drawings, general sessions or activities in the Exhibit Hall or public areas. Only WorldatWork or an accredited news organization can record these sessions and activities.

Please note: WorldatWork may take photos and videos during the conference for use in promotional campaigns or communications.

The conference mobile app will be announced approximately three to four weeks prior to the conference via email and on the conference website. Install the free app on your smartphone to access the most up-to-date conference information including schedules, session details, speaker biographies, attendee networking opportunities and much more.

Business or business casual dress is recommended for your speaking engagement. Please note, when presenting you will be using a wireless lavaliere mic, so avoid jewelry or garments that could interfere with the sound or make it difficult to wear the mic. Also, some sessions will have barstools or club chairs without a table in front so please plan accordingly.
