Send Your Presentation Draft to Other Session Participants.  To facilitate a smooth flow of information and to avoid repetition during your session, we suggest that presenters circulate copies of their presentations to each other well in advance of the meeting.  All presenters should review the presentations they receive and discuss conflicts or overlap with others in the session.

Update Your Conference Profile. The interactive online schedule and mobile app are hosted by Sched.org. Please update your profile – it makes the schedule better for everyone! Sessions with completed speaker data are likely to receive better attendance during the event. Attendees have already begun creating their customized schedules, so please take a moment now to update your information. Add or review your profile picture, bio, website, and social media links. Forgot your login information? Email Matt Black at mblack@archivists.org with your name and session number.

Advance Registration Deadline.  If you missed the Early-Bird deadline above, register by Thursday, July 13, to save at least $60 off the onsite registration rate. After July 13, you must register onsite at the Oregon Convention Center. All speakers must register in order to have a name badge for admission to meeting rooms. 

If You’re a Panelist, Participate in a Conference Call.  Good planning pays off!  Talk with your co-presenters in advance to ensure a smooth presentation.

Upload an Electronic Copy of Your Presentation to the Online Schedule Meeting attendees may view presentations before and after the conference on the conference website (http://www2.archivists.org/am2017). Click here for instructions on uploading your presentation files.
