    PRESENTATION TIPS

    We know that presenting directly to attendees is extremely valuable for you and your company. Please understand that our attendees are eager for education, practical guidance, and thought leadership vs a sales pitch. That doesn’t mean you can’t/shouldn’t mention your company or product, but please stay focused on industry challenges and solutions if you want to please these prospects. To help, we have included some of our best presentation tips below.

    One of our top-rated sponsored speakers at CMWorld 2022 was Ryan Brock from DemandJump. Check out his video below for an example of how to present sponsored content in a way that feels organic, useful, and interesting to attendees.
