Speaker Resources Center

As a speaker you should have received a speaker confirmation email along with a speaker kit detailing information we will need from you for Scrap Expo. If you have not received this kit, please email Emily Kriss at EKriss@gie.net.

The Speaker Resources Center provides guidance on the various items Scrap Expo needs from you to properly market and promote your session, information about what to expect during the session and suggestions for preparing a professional presentation. Please read through this information carefully.
