That's a "tricky
one". Our view, indeed our policy (up until September 2006) was always
"NO". We took pride in that...
Believe it or
not, it is the practice of most conference companies to do just that... "charge
thousands and thousands of Pounds/Dollars to speakers to speak" under the guise
of sponsorship. Here at Transatlantic Events Limited, we find that to be an
appalling unprofessional practice that would only damage the integrity of the
events we produce.
Our view is that
we would rather have conference content and a speaker faculty that is "second
to none" (on every event), and not have that compromised in any shape or form
just to slightly increase our profit margins.
Yes, it is the
"name of the game" (why most speakers speak) is to generate awareness and
new business. But ask any successful event speaker and they will tell you,
simply, ... be the authority over the topic and you WILL generate new
business. Easy! Push your product or company into a delegate's face, and you
will do more harm than good... and that can be costly. Simple as that and
it is a fact.
With that being said and because it has still happened
too many times to mention ...
TRANSATLANTIC EVENTS have simple House
Rules: Under NO circumstances will we allow speakers to present pure/total
commercial presentations solely designed to sell their product(s), goods or
services to the delegates (and completely abandoning their assigned talk
topic). Delegates have paid to attend the event and have a vested interest in
the topics provided on the day. Delegates are not there to be "sold to" during
speaker presentations, by the speaker. We offer a full range of
exhibition & sponsorship packages, which will enable you to sell/display
& generate awareness for your product(s), goods or services to the
delegates apart from the academic setting of the conference. If a speaker
decides to deviate from their scheduled talk topic, and engage in what appears
to be a pure/total commercial presentation, the speaker will be immediately
interrupted, all audio-visual equipment turned off and the session concluded.
The event Chairperson, on the day, will act with full authority on this matter,
and their decision is final. The speaker will then be asked to leave the venue
for the duration of the event.
In the event
that a speaker (who is asked to leave the venue) also participates as an
exhibitor with an exhibition stand/display equipment: all stand staff relating
to the said exhibition/company will also be asked to leave the venue for the
duration of the event, and will only be allowed to return to the venue to
collect their display material once the last delegate has left the venue at the
end of the event. Any money paid to Transatlantic Events Limited (the
organisers) for exhibiting will NOT be refunded. If there is any doubt if your
presentation might viewed as a commercial presentation, please consult us
immediately to avoid any possible and potential conflict.
These rules
has be set up to ensure the integrity of the every event produced by
Transatlantic Events, and is part of our guarantee to delegates of the quality
of event content.
