Presentation materials are an important element of Cal Cities educational programs. By Tuesday, September 5, it is requested that all presenters submit, at minimum, a session outline and/or presentation in either a Microsoft-friendly format such as PowerPoint (.ppt), or as a .pdf file.

Presenters are reminded that the material contained in their presentations should represent valuable, balanced information related to their session topic. Presentations should not be used as a vehicle to promote a specific commercial application and company logos are not permitted on session materials.

• When naming your session materials, please use your session title and your last name. For example: "YourSessionTitle - Smith"
• Changes can be made to your presentation by re-submitting your materials before Tuesday, September 5 using the following naming pattern: Your session title, your last name and the revision number. For example: "YourSessionTitle - Smith - revision1"
• When submitting your session materials, please combine everything into one document.

• You are expected to bring your presentation and all related support files with you to the session room, including anything embedded in your presentation such as video or audio files.
• The preferred media for presentations is on a portable memory device such as a flash or USB drive.
• If you are planning to use your own computer to present, please bring your own adaptor.
• Make a back-up copy of your presentation for easy remote access. Examples include: an additional portable memory device such as a flash or USB drive, cloud-based file storage, etc.
• If flying, we encourage you to store your presentation in carry-on luggage.

We will be offering an on-site speaker ready room for editing and reviewing your presentation. Prior to arriving at the Annual Conference and, once again in the on-site speaker ready room, please review your presentation to ensure all images, animations, sounds, transitions, graphs, and special characters transferred successfully to your portable memory device, i.e. a flash or USB drive.
