# How should I plan my session?

**Session Planning Meeting**

Appoint a session leader, hold a planning call, and align on content, engagement, and Q&A. Our audience is advanced—go deep. Encourage questions and have a few backups ready.

**What Do I Need to Bring As a Speaker?**

Bring your laptop with your presentation preloaded, plus an HDMI or Apple adapter. Backup adapters available onsite. Rooms include Wi-Fi, projectors, and microphones.

**What Materials Do Speakers Have to Submit?**

Please **[upload your PowerPoint presentation](https://www.privacysecurityacademy.com/psa-file-upload/)**at least 3 days before the conference. You may use our **[PPT template](https://www.privacysecurityacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/PPT-Privacy-Security-Forum-2026.pptx) **or use your own. Access to PPTs will be made available to participants only after the event. If you are not using a PPT, please provide reading materials **authored by a panelist** (e.g., articles, papers, or citations) to satisfy CLE requirements.

**Who Will Run My PowerPoint Presentation?**

Speakers run their own presentations on their devices. Bring the necessary adapter. You may use our**[PPT template](https://www.privacysecurityacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/PPT-Privacy-Security-Forum-2026.pptx).** Sessions are not recorded; slides will be shared three days after the conference.

**What is the Meeting Room Layout**

Rooms are set in a podium-style layout and accommodate 50–70 attendees. Each room includes Wi-Fi, a projector, and tabletop microphones.

**Arrive At Your Session**

Arrive 15 minutes early to connect and test your setup. Bring an HDMI-compatible adapter if needed.
