Yes. In order to give our speakers and delegates the best possible experience, we organise a compulsory speaker rehearsal, often the day before the event starts.

This rehearsal enables speakers to see each other’s presentations, to think about the questions they would like to be asked during their session’s Q&A and to familiarise themselves with the audio-visual equipment (a technician will be present).

The event's Programme Manager will communicate the rehearsal schedule before the event so speakers can plan accordingly.

The meeting should last approximately 30 minutes and is focused on the technical side; the AV, choreography and Q&A will be discussed.

A pre-event conference call may also be organized with the speaker and the session chair to ensure the content direction of the final presentation.

Some ideas:

• Add the digital banner received from your project manager to your email signature and/or share alongside a quick note in an internal newsletter or on your website. Please be sure to hyperlink with the event page.

• Leverage your company's emails, newsletters, press releases, web calendars

• Record a video for us to include on the ESOMAR website, in email campaigns and/or for your own communications

• Reach out to contacts through any of your and/or your company’s social media channels…

Social media:

• Twitter – post the video you recorded, or a funny gif/photo, and tell everyone why you’re excited for the event. Be sure to @ESOMAR

• LinkedIn – share some headlines of your work, ask some questions, provoke people to reply. Remember to include @ESOMAR

• ESOMAR also uses:
  Instagram: @esomar_hq
  Facebook: @esomar
  YouTube: #esomar

Where applicable, follow ESOMAR and like/love/share/re-post/re-tweet our messages. The more contacts and networks reached, the more delegates and greater audience to connect with at the event!

BONUS: we’re happy to offer great discounts for groups of three (or more!) wanting to join AND/OR for those 30 and younger (YES!).

No. Parts, if not all of an event, will be recorded and in those recordings, the presentations shown.

All video recordings and conference papers are available in our digital library ANA for ESOMAR Members. For more information about Membership benefits please visit our membership pages or contact our membership team at member.relations@ esomar .org

If you're speaking at an event, you also have a great opportunity to showcase your organisation as a sponsor. Your organisation can sponsor an event and benefit from a wide range of business partnership opportunities to help you reach your goals. If you haven't been accepted as a speaker via a proposed outline and review by a programme committee, ESOMAR events almost always feature sponsored speaking slots to promote your expertise to a global audience. Reach out to business@esomar.org for more information.
