Speaker FAQ

Practical information for speakers at DotNetDay Switzerland, based on the existing conference FAQ.

I need to change my hotel dates.

Please update the dates in the shared Google Sheet and let the organizers know afterward. If you do not have the link anymore, they can resend it.

Should speakers follow the general schedule strictly, or is it okay to arrive after registration?

You can arrive when you like and your speaker badge will be ready. Please be on time for your session and make sure you start and end on schedule. Also note your attendance for the speaker dinner in the shared Google Sheet.

Do speakers receive any additional passes for guests?

If you would like to bring a guest, send the organizers the names so badges can be printed. If your guest should join the speaker dinner, let the team know as early as possible. They will try to accommodate this depending on venue, insurance, and restaurant capacity.

Should the presentation be uploaded somewhere in advance?

No advance upload is required. Please email your slides after your talk to the organizers.

Is it possible to connect directly from a MacBook to the screen?

Yes. Connections are via HDMI, so please bring any adapters you need, such as USB-C to HDMI. An HDMI cable is provided on site.

Who should I contact on site if questions come up?

Message Fabian or Manu using the phone numbers provided in the Sessionize emails.

Why is the keynote shown as 70 minutes?

The schedule includes a 10-minute intro and outro. The keynote itself should be planned for up to 60 minutes.

What is the length of the talks?

Keynotes are up to 60 minutes. Regular sessions are 45 minutes.

Is there a slide template we should use?

No template is required. Speakers are simply asked to follow the conference Code of Conduct.

Will there be a prompter for notes?

There is no teleprompter. Each room has a confidence monitor in front of you, your own laptop for notes, and the main screen behind you.
