Project:Politics Online Conference/Speaker instructions

Hello speakers! Here you'll find useful information for the Politics Online Conference.

Post links, notes and more on your panel page
Each panel has been set up with a special wiki page containing speaker bios, an audience feedback survey, embedded video of the panel (posted later) and a section for each speaker to post notes or links relevant to their talk.

Please find your panel on the agenda and post anything you like under your name in the "Notes and links" section. You can also take this opportunity to revise or embed links in your bio. Please note that you'll need to briefly register a wiki account to edit. You can email [mailto:ckenny@sunlightfoundation.com Conor Kenny] for immediate technical assistance.

Speaker's lounge
A speaker lounge is located within the Atrium Ballroom. We can point you in the right direction when you register at the conference. We recommend that you and your fellow panelists meet there a half hour before the start of your session to talk, think, and brainstorm. A volunteer can help escort you to your room about 15 minutes before show time.
