Deadlines and Timelines (General)

Please prioritize meeting all deadlines communicated via email. While some may feel early, they are essential, as many teams rely on these assets after Programming hands them off.

Speaker Preparation/Onboarding

A. We see our speakers as valued team members in delivering a “Level 10” experience to all attendees. We’ll ensure you’re well-informed, prepared, and equipped to perform at your very best. 

On stage, you represent the EOS Worldwide Community. You are an integral part of everyone’s collective goal of an attendee satisfaction rating of 8.75 or higher. Attention to detail in every aspect of your presentation is crucial for our shared success.

Many speakers share that the experience of preparing for and speaking at this event elevated their speaking abilities to the next level and led to many further opportunities. We want to help you achieve that! 

A. We want your participation in the EOS Conference to be a phenomenal success for you and the audience. To achieve that aim, the following is required to be a speaker at the EOS Conference: 

  1. Sign your contract and send in all required documents and deliverables (title, description, PPT, handout, headshot, bio, and payment information) on time. (coming soon)
  2. Read our Speaker Training e-book (coming soon). 
  3. Watch our speaker training videos (coming soon). 
  4. Attend a Speaker Value call (coming soon).
  5. Rehearse your presentation in advance, preferably in front of a similar audience or a peer group you trust.
  6. Attend your scheduled onsite AV check and run through.

Regardless of your degree of speaking experience, we appreciate all speakers fully participating in these steps, to ensure the highest quality experience for all attendees. 

A. A Speaker Value Call is a discussion about your presentation with our Programming Manager. In this call, someone from our team will help you highlight key points for attendees and ensure a diversity of content across all sessions. Even if you frequently present or speak, this call is intended to support your success.

A. Attendees view content presented at the conference as “the standard” of EOS: the model, process, and the correct identification of IP. You are asked to share your materials with our team in advance of your speech to guarantee these standards. Find our trademark and IP guidelines here. 

Do not use, combine, blend or alter any of the EOS names, drawings, models, logos, illustrations, proven processes. For example, don’t title a talk or slide “The Six Key Components of Profit.” Make sure there is clear delineation and accurate citation of any EOS content you happen to reference. 

A.When using your own model, give attribution in the slide. When using illustrations, drawing, models, photos from third parties, also please make a citation on the slide. Please do not present any materials, photos, or images you do not have permission to share.  

A. This conference has an impressive return rate of 80%, year over year, because of the exceptional content our speakers provide. (Thank you, in advance!)

  •     Bring your “A-Game.” Prepare well and practice your content. If you are using any engagement tools like polls or videos, you must be well-rehearsed in their use. If you have concerns or need to talk through your presentation, our team can help. 
  •     Selling your services in your session or soliciting attendees is not permitted on-premise or in the app. It’s also extremely ineffective and generates ill-will with your audience.  
  •     Do follow up directly with individuals who ask to be contacted.
  •     To hold the value of the conference, we do not provide attendee lists to any vendor, sponsor, speaker, or attendee.
  •     We come from a mindset of abundance. When you deliver your content in that spirit, attendees will seek you out as a trusted resource.

A. Absolutely! Part of your compensation is a complimentary registration for the entire conference, which allows you full access to both days. We hope you will take full advantage of this learning opportunity. 

 

A. Yes, complimentary Wi-Fi and log-in information will be provided on-site in all meeting spaces. However, we ask that your presentation be capable of delivery without Wi-Fi, just to be safe. 

A. Please dress “business professional” unless your presentation format is enhanced by wearing a uniform or other professional gear. 

A. Yes. We will use an app at the event. You may submit additional materials to be loaded into the app. The app is a great way to connect with attendees in advance of your session! 

 

A. We “sell out” at 1500 attendees.

Entrepreneurs, business owners and leadership team members of companies running on EOS. In past years, attendee roles broke down as: 30% Visionary, 30% Integrator and 30% Other Leadership Team members or staff. Many have come back year after year. While attendees are at all stages in their knowledge and experience, we have observed that more than half have a strong working knowledge of EOS.

A. The Session Tracks are defined below. Tracks guide attendees to sessions suited to their stage in the EOS Journey. Below, you’ll find the tracks and learner levels. You’ll be informed of your track—please tailor your content to match the learner level.

Presentation Deck & Handouts

A. Yes, a PPT template will be provided. If your presentation is specifically branded and formatted to support your presentation, you may use your branded deck upon review and approval by the programming team. We require you to use PPT only and not a different program such as Prezi, Google slides, or Canva, to ensure clean formatting and delivery. If you are building your own slides, be sure to use the “Widescreen 16:9” slide size. 

A. Yes. EVERY presentation will have an opening title slide and a closing survey slide. These slides include our introduction EOS conference branded slides and a QR code to access a feedback survey. These slides are added to the final presentation you submit, and a final copy will also be sent to you.

A. See timeline and deadlines above.

A. Each room will have its own computer and projector. The presentation you provide in advance will be pre-loaded on the computer. All content is deleted from the computer after the conference, for IP protection. A clicker will be provided. You may not use your own computer to share your presentation. 

Please note that making last-minute changes to your presentation is not possible. The presentation you share with us in February is what will be shown to the room so please do your creative work well in advance!  

A. Yes, but please embed the video file into your presentation whenever possible. There is Wi-Fi; it is not as reliable when 3,000+ people are using it. When you arrive for your A/V check, inform your production tech that you are using a video and test it fully. 

A. Handouts are optional and not a requirement for speaking. Sharing a copy of your presentation deck is discouraged; it’s not helpful for attendees. DO format your handout with key models, exercises, key takeaways, and action items. A template is available here.

A. All handouts will be loaded into the app and distributed in  your room. EOS will print up to 2 pages, double sided, black and white. If your presentation calls for a different format, please plan to bring your own copies.

Your Session: Room, Duration, Recording, Evaluation

 We will reach out to you several weeks in advance to schedule your rehearsal time. You will have the opportunity to see your room, run through your presentation, and make sure all components of your session are ready to ‘WOW’ your audience! 

A. Breakout presenters will be introduced by your Session Host from the conference team. You will have the opportunity to connect with your Session Host at rehearsal to review your introduction. Our goal is to have engaging and interesting introductions that set an energetic tone! 

A. The EOS Conference team will not be distributing presentations or materials for individual sessions. If you would like to share your presentation, please provide a copy to be uploaded into the app by February 3. We suggest creating a simplified PDF of your slide deck with the most relevant information for sharing, versus sharing all slides. 

A. Yes. Attendee surveys will be offered (electronically) for every breakout and keynote. Please remind attendees of this at the end of your presentation. You can expect to receive your feedback within 10 days.  Our goal as a team is a feedback rating of 8.75 or higher, and we’re counting on all our speakers to help achieve this. 

Attendees score in the areas of Content value, Speaker Delivery and Overall Session Satisfaction. When the final Feedback Survey is ready, we will share the questions with you.

As you plan out your conference agenda, this is a great time to take the Organizational Check-Up. What key components are weaker than others? Even if you’ve been running on EOS for more than 3 years, we all need to get back to the basics sometimes. If you find scores at 3 or lower on some key components, we recommend looking at the Foundational (0-1.5 years) track sessions related to that issue.

AFTER THE CONFERENCE

Enjoy the 2024 EOS Conference all over again whenever you’d like! The 2024 EOS Conference On-Demand package comes with your ticket and features every conference session, from the first sessions of the pre-conference to our closing keynote speaker.  Nothing you need to do right now; we’ll email you when it’s ready.

Access is available from April 22 – July 22.
