Referenced Data: Semico is happy
to provide you with data to reference in your presentation.
Please send us your presentation via email in PowerPoint format by April

Cox server allows us to receive up to 5MBs, if larger please break apart
and send in pieces or mail by deadline on a CD. Our mailing address is

FAQ: What if I have edits after I turn in my presentation on April 20,
2011? The version of your presentation shown the day of the event can be turned in
(ideally) via email as late as May 1, 2011 or handed to Jim Feldhan on a memory stick the day of your
presentation!
FAQ: Can I bring my own laptop to hook up the day of the event to run
my presentation? There is a tight schedule to maintain and in
order to avoid any A/V hiccups we prefer to set-up and test prior on our
own laptop which will be hooked up to a video splitter thereby
projecting your presentation onto two screens. Should you have
last minute edits to your presentation please bring it with you on a memory
stick as noted above. If you have additional questions regarding
A/V set up, please contact Jim Feldhan at 602-997-0337 or
jimf@semico.com.
FAQ: I am a keynote speaker, what
can I expect and how will I be introduced?
You will be introduced by Jim Feldhan, President of Semico. There
is one hour scheduled for your keynote, and you will have roughly 45
minutes to present. Afterward there will be a 10-15 minute open Q&A
session. This is flexible depending if you would like to present for
let’s say, 35 minutes with a 25 minute Q&A session. The stage, podium
and microphone attached will be yours for this hour with two screens
projecting your presentation on either side. Semico will provide a
laptop at the podium with your presentation preloaded and ready to go,
and Mr. Feldhan will launch it for you after the introduction. Mr.
Feldhan can be reached to discuss presentation content in greater
detail at
602-997-0337 or jimf@semico.com. We request your presence at the A/V table located in the back of
the room at 8:00am (in order to be given a wireless lavaliere, if you
would rather use a lavaliere) and to run through any last minute
instructions.
Event Dress
Code:
Business casual, no suits necessary! The weather in Scottsdale, AZ in May averages 90 degrees and aglow with
