Use the GreenBiz 26 template here
Make a copy of the slide deck. Pull speaker headshots from your session link into a single title slide.
Tip: You’ll want the title slide with headshots even if you don’t use other slides because otherwise the screens behind the speakers will be empty.
Confirm speakers have the calendar hold.
Session dates, times and rooms get confirmed by early January and sent out by the GreenBiz 26 team. Please confirm speakers (and any of their needed comms team members) have this information.
