Frequently Asked Questions

The most commonly asked questions are addressed below. If you are unable to find the answer you are looking for, please get in touch.

Accommodation

The Sheraton Airport Hotel offers a special room rate to speakers, sponsors and delegates alike. Please keep checking the event website (see the ‘VENUE’ tab). A special room rate link will appear when the offer starts. We have no control over the number of rooms the hotel can make available at the discounted rate. Rooms do get booked up rather quickly, so we advise taking advantage sooner rather than later. The same tab will also list other hotels nearby, though these are on an untried and unchecked basis.

General Information

agenda,view

We spend many months crafting our agendas in order to provide the best possible experience for all, and this involves making many swaps and changes to get everything looking just right. Our agendas will be made available to view online around three months out from the AngelTech event. Keep checking the event website.
cell phone, mobile

In the unlikely event of last-minute changes to the agenda, it’s possible we may need to contact you at very short-notice on the day. Such instances are rare, but we would be grateful to have your number to hand for such an emergency.

The speaker portal is a hive of information! You’ll find custom images which you can post on your social media. These bespoke images contain your picture, company logo and details of your presentation.

Yes, your attendance allows you to wander freely across all 3x events.

You are invited to join us for the pre-conference networking drinks reception on Monday 15th April 2024. Included also are the Networking drinks and buffet dinner that place on Tuesday 16th April, immediately following the close of the presentations.

Refreshments and lunches will be provided on both event days. Wi-fi will be available, allowing you to continue with your day-to-day business.

Presentations

There are no set deadlines, but it is in your interest to submit this information as early as possible to gain maximum exposure on the agenda and speaker website for you and your company. It also means our marketing team can start to promote early via social media.

Yes, animation can be embedded within your slide deck.

Please advise as soon as possible and we shall ensure this is not made available.
Please note you are more than welcome to submit a ‘modified’ PDF version to share.

Please return to the AV desk to have your microphone removed. The 'clicker' should be placed back on the podium.

For a 20-minute slot, we recommend speaking for 15 minutes or so, leaving a few minutes at the end for Q&A’s. For a 15-minute slot, it’s your choice whether you use the full 15 minutes for speaking, or cut it short by a few minutes. Sometimes there are no questions from the audience.

Yes, there will be a ‘comfort’ monitor for you to see your notes.

Please make your way to the Audio Visual desk about 10 minutes before you are due to speak. This will enable the team to set you up with a microphone and ‘clicker’. Your cue to go onto the stage will be announced by the chairperson.

Please hand directly (and in plenty of time) to a member of the Audio/Visual team in the relevant speaking room. They will download and check.

Whilst not ideal, we ask you upload your presentation to a USB stick and bring it with you on the day.

There are a few ways to send depending on file size and company protocol.
You may email direct to jane.bunclark@angelbc.com, or to jane.bunclark@angelbc.com via WeTransfer.
If your organisation prohibits the use of WeTransfer, please send a secure link to jane.bunclark@angelbc.com
change, make changes

We understand modifications are necessary and unavoidable, so we ask that you consider delaying sending your slide deck until as close as possible to the submission date. This provides you with the maximum time to review internally, avoiding the need to submit multiple files leading up to the event.

Your slide deck can be a PowerPoint or PDF file with an aspect ratio of 16:9.

No, we don’t take videos of any presentations, but you are more than welcome to have a colleague record it on your behalf, providing they bring the required equipment to do so. Please inform us if you plan to do this.

If you find yourself in this situation, it would help enormously if someone else were to step in to make the presentation on your behalf. If this is not possible, please notify jane.bunclark@angelbc.com as soon as possible.

No one can be in two places at once! We will ensure that your talks are at completely different and manageable times.

This is not always possible. As some themes can be more speaker-subscribed than others, ensuring the days presentations finish at respectable times is crucial and can mean theme orders may need to be swapped around many times before being finalised.
length, speech, talk

Presentations are allocated either 15 or 20 minutes. We won't be able to confirm the length of your talk until nearer the event when all agendas are published online. As there may be questions from the audience at the end, how much time you wish dedicate to speaking in your time allocation, will need to be a consideration.

A couple of days after the event, an email will be sent to all sponsors, speakers and delegates alike with a link to the presentations. Access to these will be via a very short feedback form. Once completed, you are free to download most of the presentation slide decks (in PDF format) across all 3x conferences. Please note that a handful of speakers/companies will have chosen not to share post-event.
