Marketing Materials: By confirming a speaking position in the Smartphone Summit speakers agree to Smartphone Summit's use of speaker's name and company name in promotional materials including print mailer, websites, and e-newsletters as well as use of any publicly known/released product names/models offered by speaking company. Speakers may include additional product and service information/materials in separate PowerPoint presentation versions that are to be distributed by Smartphone Summit to attendees after the show has concluded. 11. Sales Demos During Presentations: The Smart Phone Summit strongly discourages speakers from exploiting their presentation time to make commercial sales presentations, sales oriented product or service demonstrations, or brand-awareness campaigns. Please allow the last few minutes of your presentation, before Question and Answer (Q&A), to introduce conference attendees to your company and your products and services. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in you and your company's disqualification from being considered for speaking opportunities during the Smart Phone Summit conference in the future. If you wish to disseminate marketing materials to attendees please prepare an expanded version of your electronic presentation materials and submit it directly to Smartphone Summit for distribution to attendees following the show (see #10 above). 12. Speaking in a Public Forum: Speakers acknowledge that they will be speaking in a public forum in front of a public audience and that they may be photographed and that their presentations and representations may be recorded via audio and/or video. 14. Speaker Replacements: The Smart Phone Summit does not allow speaker replacements except under emergency conditions. All speaker replacements are subject to approval by the Smart Phone Summit prior to the commencement of the conference. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in you and your company's disqualification from being considered for speaking opportunities during the Smart Phone Summit conference in the future. The Smart Phone Summit reserves the right to allow other speakers or companies to "fill in" in the event that speaker replacements do not meet the Smart Phone Summit Conference Speaker Requirements and Guidelines. 15. Honorarium: The Smart Phone Summit does not provide for honorarium or travel repayments to speakers, however we do our best to pass along all travel and accomodation discounts available to us at each event, and at most event provide compensation in return for the above by means of a complimentary conference pass in the speaker's name. These terms and guidelines may be modified by Smartphone Summit without notice.
