This page was created to provide more information for our scheduled or potential virtual presenters.

Overview:

1. Platform: We use Zoom Webinar for our virtual meetings and Zoom Meeting for mastermind groups, etc. Zoom Webinar offers 3 roles (host, panelist, attendee), you will be assigned as a “panelist.” You will be sharing your screen during your presentation.
   
2. Rehearsal & Meeting Prep: (a) We would like to conduct a brief rehearsal at least 2 days prior to your presentation to practice screen sharing, test sound/video, etc. (b) We ask that you log in 15 mins early (usually 10:45am) in order to resolve any potential tech issues.
3. Presentation Duration: Presentations will be limited to 30 mins and will include an additional Q & A time up to 10 mins (see format/schedule below). Between the two segments, we ask that your total time be at least 25 mins minimum & no more that 40 mins maximum.
4. Bio/Presentation Title: Please email us a brief bio that includes your name, title & company name. Please also email us the official title of your presentation along with a link to your company’s website.
5. Selling Prohibited: The Ohio BWC (our funder) and our bylaws prohibit any type of selling during the presentations. With that being said, we’d happy to place a link to your website in our meeting notices as well any other media that results from your presentation (see below). A slide with your company/contact information is certainly acceptable.
