Speaker FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions

If you are the primary speaker (non-vendor), you will be given one complimentary registration (no other expenses are reimbursed by the conference). The system will automatically recognize you as a speaker and include the complimentary registration in the process. If the system does not recognize you as a speaker, please contact regional-support@heug.org for assistance. Do not pay the registration fee, you will not receive a refund. Please register here by 5 May, 2019.

All presenters of a exhibitor session do not receive complimentary or discounted registrations. Please click here select 'Register Now' then 'Register as a Exhibitor/Sponsor'. Use your exhibitor code to register for the conference. If you do not know your exhibitor code, please contact your company’s primary contact for the conference. Please register by 5 May, 2019.

The registration waiver is non-transferable. Please refer to the Presenter Policies.

If your registration is not completed prior to 5 May, 2019, your session may be canceled; or if not canceled, you will be responsible for the difference between the early-bird rate and the rate in effect at the time of registration for the waiver.

All presenters are asked to prepare a visual presentation using Microsoft's PowerPoint or other medium so that session materials can be made available to the attendees via the conference website. The official Alliance Down Under 2019 PowerPoint template can be downloaded here.

Having a copy of the PowerPoint or handouts to take notes is extremely helpful for attendees.  Speakers should upload the most current version of the presentation prior to the conference and upload any updates after the conference while the topic is fresh for everyone.

Only primary presenters will have the ability to upload a session.

1) Go to My Registration
2) Select “My Presentations”
3) Click “Manage Session” next to your session
4) Click the icon that has two papers, and upload each of your files.

Please contact Regional Support (regional-support@heug.org) if you need assistance.
