A. Based on feedback from prior conferences, some presenters create such a buzz that attendees felt they ‘missed out.’ Those who are scheduled on Thursday have an opportunity to be voted as “Best of” by attendees. The top 3 speakers from Thursday will be asked to present their presentation again on Friday. We will help you get additional handouts printed. There is no additional honorarium offered for the second presentation, but you can claim bragging rights. If your presentation is scheduled on Friday, it is due to scheduling requirements only, and no reflection on your ability to participate.

Q. Can I offer or promote my book(s)?
A. You may offer your book for sale in the back of their session room before and after your breakout only. Inventory, payment method, and follow-up are your responsibility. Book availability is for attendees’ convenience, as ‘selling’ and promoting outside services is not permitted.
Q. Can I bring my own videographer?
A. No. Another technical person in the room may interfere with the attendee experience. We will not stop anyone from using their phone/device to create videos onsite. We do ask that everyone be aware and not obstruct the view of anyone.

A. The EOS Conference team will not be distributing presentations or materials for individual sessions. Please provide your contact information and follow up directly with these requests.
