Things You Need To Know:
- Presentation Guidelines – This event is designed as an educational forum where government leaders and industry pioneers come to gain insights, frameworks, and real-world implementation strategies. As a professional association that supports industry and government collaboration, GBA encourages value-driven presentations. Speakers are welcome to reference their organization, product, or service as a real-world example to illustrate best practices, lessons learned, and implementation strategies.
- Slides – Please use the presentation template (to be provided later) for all slides. Once you have put your content on the slides upload your slides by attaching it to the form at the bottom of this page.
- Videos – If you intend to display a presentation, please remove any music from the presentation. Potential copyright violations are very problematic and at this point, we cannot allow music in videos.
- Recordings – Please be advised that your session will be recorded posted on public websites sometime in the future. For copyright reasons, please do not include any music in your presentation. We cannot guarantee that your session will be posted because sometimes technical or other issues preclude it from being posted.
- Dress Code – This event is not a typical crypto event. Business dress is expected of all speakers. Speakers should dress as if they were testifying before a congressional hearing or legislature. No jeans, T-shirts, polo shirts, short skirts, revealing/offensive clothing or informal attire are permitted on stage. Inappropriate dress may result in removal from the event.
