Interop provides programs that deliver pure education, not product pitches. Our mission to be an independent and reliable source of advanced knowledge is compromised when speakers present marketing information. Pitching rather than teaching reflects poorly on both the speaker and his or her company.

Our conference attendees have repeatedly affirmed this principle when giving us post-event feedback. Provide conference attendees with what they want and benefit all of us.

If you are interested in marketing opportunities at Interop, please contact Kelly Stewart at .

Your Presentation
Due to the tight scheduling of sessions, your presentation will be pre-loaded onto a show management computer where your session will take place. As always, please bring an extra copy of your presentation to the room.

Remember, your presentation must be approved by your Track chair before it can be presented!

• 2 tabletop microphones
