Each presenter has five minutes to present. The presenter
must be lined up and ready to present immediately
after the previous presenter has finished. The order
will be determined alphabetically. The presenter MUST
finish in the allotted time and must stick to relevant
facts such as: company profile, capitalization, market
potential, revenue and earnings, etc. Self-promotion
is not permitted.
* Three of the four panelists will rate your presentation
on a scale of 1-10. Each judge has one minute for
followup. Presenters and judges will be notifed by
a timer when their time is up.
* All presenters will be automatically entered in
iHollywood Forum's "Best of Show" awards.
This will be awarded to the presenter with the most
points from judges. Currently, we have room for 6-7
presenters. However, we are considering expanding
our demo session to two conference session periods.
In the event of a tie, it will be broken by iHollywood
Forum's CEO, the judges or the audience, at our discretion.
* All presenters must give us any Powerpoints or videos
they wish to use as part of their presentation at
least one week in advance, so they may be loaded on
our laptop.
* Presenters must meet for 10 minutes with iHollywood
Forum's CEO or another iHollywood staff member to
ensure their presentations are appropriate.
* All "Best of Show" presenters will be
included in a pre-conference press release on BusinessWire.
The winner will be announced during the show, and
will receive a trophy. The winner will also be featured
in a post-show release over BusinessWire.
* Deviation from the rules disqualifies a company
from the "Best of Show" contest.
* Panelists, exhibitors and sponsoring companies are
eligible to participate in iHollywood demos, and our
sales people are permitted to solicit potential participants.
However, decisions about who participates on the demo
sessions will be made as much as possible on the merits
of the presenter. The judges will be instructed to
disregard completely whether a company sponsors or
not.
* The fee for speaking is $2500. This covers our staff
costs and helps us make a reasonable profit from the
conference. It also ensures that only serious companies
with adequate funding compete. We may consider partial
payment of the fee in exceptional circumstances, but
the presenting company must give a written explanation
of why a partial payment should be awarded. There
will be no full scholarships. Payment is due at time
of acceptance. Non-payment disqualifies a company
from presenting.
* Presenting companies may also be exhibitors for
an additional fee. That fee is not a requirement of
presenting, and has no bearing on the judges' decision
making. Some presenting companies may also be selected
independently for speaking on panels in other sessions.
