Watch this page for upload instructions.

Tips for recording your presentation:

If you’re presenting on a panel, set a date and time to record your presentation together; otherwise, set a date and time to record your presentation.

Face a window so daylight falls on your face.

Avoid sitting with a bright window or lamp behind you. It turns you into a silhouette.

Overhead lights alone can cast shadows. A lamp in front of you helps.

Choose a quiet room. Rooms with carpet, curtains, or furniture sound better than kitchens or hallways.

Turn off fans, air conditioning, and computer and cell phone notifications if you can.

Stay within about an arm’s length of the camera. If you have wired earbuds with a microphone, use them.

Frame yourself from mid-chest up, with a little space above your head.

A simple, uncluttered background works best. Check that nothing overly personal or confidential is visible.

Name your file with your last name and broad topic area, for example: Garcia_Culture.mp4

Please be alert to fraudulent emails and calls

Scammers may impersonate the Foundation Support Team and include details such as your booth number, our logo, or familiar signature blocks to make their messages appear legitimate. Having those details does not mean the message came from us. Please keep these reminders in mind:

We do not call you to book hotel rooms or register you.
iaedp does not sell its attendee list. We provide it to all exhibitors, excluding attendees who opt out, shortly after the early bird deadline and again after the Symposium. Offers to sell you our attendee list are not from or authorized by iaedp. Plain and simple, they are fraudulent – don’t be taken in.
If you receive an email asking you to change payment information or use new payment instructions, please call us directly at 800-800-8126 x4 to confirm. Do not reply to that email to verify the request.
