DMA09 Speaker Resources
We are less than a month away from meeting up in San Diego! Thank you for the time you’ve already spent to prepare dynamic presentations and handouts—seasoned speakers and new educational content is the foundation of DMA09--we are pleased that you’re a part of it. There are two remaining speaker update emails: Thursday, September 24, and a final email with onsite information will be sent on October 6. SESSION ROOM LOCATIONS AND FLOOR PLAN
SESSION ROOM LOCATIONS AND FLOOR PLAN Please download the pdf of session room assignments here. Sessions are organized by day and time and listed by title/track. You may search the pdf using your session title. Sessions will take place on Level III of the San Diego Convention Center. If you’d like to familiarize yourself with your session room location, download the floor plan here. Please plan to arrive at the convention center at least 1.5 hours in advance of your session time. Credentials must be picked up on site and we encourage you to allow time to connect your laptop to the LCD projector, get connected to a microphone, and rehearse. SPEAKER RECORDING AUTHORIZATION Complete and return this form to Lori Ann Pope, lpope@the-dma.org.) DMA09 sessions are recorded and synced with PPT decks. The content is packaged and sold to attendees, who will be able to access it online through our Live Learning Center a few weeks after the conference. This form is most important if you do NOT want to be recorded. If we do not receive a form from your authorization by Friday, October 2, we will proceed with recording your session. Final Deadline: Friday, October 2 All speakers who will use a presentation must submit it to DMA for review and approval. Sessions should be created on the DMA09 PPT template [attach 09 Session template]. If you would like your PPT presentation to be available to attendees as a handout, we need the information immediately as it takes time to process and upload to the web site. Attendees will be able to access conference handouts the week of October 12. Please submit the PPT file to Lori Ann Pope, lpope@the-dma.org. If the file is too large to send by email (8MB or larger), please send a link to your FTP site and I will download it. Or, you may send the file on a CD by mail to my attention: Lori Ann Pope ASK-THE-EXPERTS ROUNDTABLE PRESENTERS All ATE Roundtables will take place Monday, October 19, 12:30 p.m. – 1:30 p.m. in the Front of Hall B2. Think of the Ask-the-Experts Roundtables as speed dating between conference attendees and presenters. Some attendees remain at the same roundtable the entire hour; others table hop and visit several presenters to get information. Each table has 10 chairs and is semi-private with pipe and drape. There is standing room—you may have up to 15 attendees at your roundtable at any given time. Please review the attached pdf of ATE Roundtables—there is a number assigned to your roundtable which will be noted on signage and the number will be on your table, along with a table tent of your roundtable title. If you would like to bring your laptop, you are more than welcome. Be sure your battery is charged—there may not be an electrical outlet near your table. Presenters are welcome to bring handouts to distribute to attendees. Join me to review conference information that will help you better prepare for your time at DMA09. I am also happy to take your questions, and encourage veterans to share best practices with those speakers new to DMA09.

We strongly encourage speakers to book hotels within the DMA block because it supports the show. Our travel partner is working diligently to ensure that prices are competitive (many hotels have reduced their rates already).
