We firmly believe that a speaker should be chosen on merit and not the size of the sponsorship budget. All No Drama Media events including Search Engine Boot-Camp’s have speakers who are selected to speak based on the knowledge and experience they provide to conference attendees.
We do think sponsors and partners have valuable information for our attendees, of course. So if a speaker is also sponsoring the event they are always well briefed that we do not tolerate sales pitches.
No Drama Media doesn’t just invite speakers to a session and leave to chance what happens next. Each session is carefully prepped by Barry Smyth. Barry reviews a range of potential speakers and selects a panel or speaker based on who he feels can deliver the most relevant and informative presentation.
We work to ensure each speaker has an agreed amount of time to talk and in the case of a panel session that the presentations are complementary, rather than overlapping.
Sessions that just seem to that deliver on the promises in our agendas and magically flow together for attendees.
One of the greatest issues for speakers is getting the delivery of the message correct, speakers generally do not know what the skill levels of the audience is and can sometimes deliver a presentation that is highly technical to an audience that does not understand the core techie side of search.
No Drama Media employs and audience participation system that allows the speakers to ask a series of questions related to the session in order for them to gain an insight of who is sitting in the audience. The system allows for multiple-choice questions to be answered in an anonymous manner via electronic handsets.
This information is dynamically collated and displayed via the AV Screen. No Drama Media also uses this data to form the basis of ongoing market research into the market we are holding the conference in.
A Fun and Enjoyable Experience Conferences are more than just sitting in a room and watching PowerPoint presentations.
At Search Engine Boot-Camp , we believe the surrounding experience to presentations is a key part of the show and among other things, this means offering classroom style seating.
