To ensure the smooth execution of the SayPro Masterclass, it’s critical to have all speakers submit their presentations and related materials well in advance. This allows the team to review the content, make necessary adjustments, and ensure technical compatibility. Below is a comprehensive outline of the documents and materials required from employees, particularly speakers, for the masterclass:

1. Speaker Materials Submission Process

Step 1: Set Clear Deadlines for Submission

Submission Deadline: Establish a clear and realistic deadline for speakers to submit their materials. Typically, submissions should be made at least 1-2 weeks before the event.
Reminder Emails: Send regular reminders leading up to the deadline, ensuring speakers are aware of their responsibilities.
Confirmation of Receipt: Once the materials are submitted, confirm receipt with the speaker to avoid any misunderstandings.

Step 2: Standardize the Format and Content

To ensure consistency and smooth integration of materials into the event, set expectations around the format and structure of the presentations. Here’s what should be included:

2. Required Materials from Speakers

A. Presentation Slides

Format: Slides should be submitted in PowerPoint (.pptx), Google Slides, or PDF format. Ensure they are compatible with the event platform and easily shareable.
Slide Design Guidelines: Provide any necessary design guidelines (e.g., logo placement, font styles, color schemes) to ensure consistency with the event’s branding.
Slide Content:
- Main Content: A clear outline of the speaker’s main points, with visuals (charts, images, diagrams) to support the information.
- Key Takeaways: Each session should have a slide that outlines key takeaways or actionable insights.
- Session Timing: A rough estimate of how long each section of the presentation will take to help the event organizers manage time.

B. Speaker Notes

Detailed Notes or Script: If available, ask speakers to submit any speaker notes or a script that they’ll be using during their presentation. This helps moderators and tech teams anticipate the flow of the session and offer assistance when needed.
Q&A Preparation: Any potential questions and answers the speaker expects, to assist with the Q&A portion or guide discussions.

C. Additional Resources

Supplementary Materials: Any additional resources that the speaker plans to share, such as:
- Handouts or workbooks for participants.
- Links to research papers, articles, or websites they mention in their presentation.
- Case studies, examples, or templates that enhance their content.
Video Clips: If relevant, speakers can submit short video clips they plan to use during the session (in MP4 format or other compatible formats).

D. Interactive Materials

Polls/Quizzes: If the speaker intends to use polls, quizzes, or other interactive features, the questions and possible answers should be submitted in advance for the technology team to set up.
Audience Engagement Tools: Details on how the speaker intends to engage the audience (e.g., discussion prompts, live Q&A, interactive exercises) so the team can prepare accordingly.

E. Bio and Headshot

Speaker Bio: A brief bio (100-150 words) that outlines the speaker’s professional background, expertise, and relevant experience.
High-Resolution Headshot: A professional-quality headshot that can be used for the event website, email marketing, or promotional materials.
Social Media Links: Any social media handles, professional websites, or links speakers would like to include for promotional purposes.

3. Technical Requirements

Preferred Format for Presentations: Ensure the speaker understands the format that works best for your event platform (e.g., PowerPoint is usually the best for most platforms).
File Size Limits: Set clear expectations about the maximum file size for presentations and other materials.
Testing Equipment: Request that speakers test their presentation with the tech team in advance to ensure compatibility with the event platform and smooth transitions during the live session.
Video and Audio Requirements: If speakers will be using videos or sound clips, ensure they are tested for proper audio-visual quality in advance.

Visual Quality: Ensure that the presentation slides are clear, concise, and free from visual clutter.
Spelling and Grammar: Review slides and documents for typos, grammatical errors, and inconsistencies.

Check Compatibility: Test the files on the event platform to ensure they display correctly and that all multimedia content (videos, images) works as expected.
Prepare for Live Session: Ensure that any interactive features (polls, quizzes) or live video elements are set up in advance for smooth integration during the event.

C. Provide Feedback and Final Edits

If necessary, send feedback to the speakers regarding minor edits, formatting, or clarifications. Ensure these changes are made well before the event.

6. Final Materials Preparation

Upload to Event Platform: Once everything is reviewed and finalized, upload the speaker presentations, bio, and supplementary materials to the event platform or file-sharing system (e.g., Google Drive, Dropbox).
Prepare for Distribution: Make the materials ready for distribution to attendees post-event (e.g., recording links, downloadable slides, etc.).

7. Ongoing Communication with Speakers

Keep Speakers Informed: Regularly update speakers on any changes, technical requirements, or last-minute adjustments leading up to the event.
Tech Check Reminder: Schedule a final technical run-through (ideally the day before the event) to ensure the speaker is comfortable with the event platform and their materials work as expected.
