4/1/24 NASTT 2024 No-Dig Show Author/Track Leader Update: This is your final reminder email!
• Make sure you register: All speakers must register. Preregister here so your badge is ready to go when you get onsite.
• Book your hotel room: Stay with other No-Dig Show guests by booking at our host hotels.
• Download the app: Keep a look out for communications these next few weeks on how to download and use the app.
• Found a typo in your final PPT? We can fix that! You can check your PowerPoint slide deck on Sunday, April 14 from 12:00-2:00 PM in the Speaker Ready Room, which is room 557. After 2:00 PM on Sunday the slides will be loaded to the session laptops and no changes can be made. The pre-loaded presentations will be used and updated presentations on thumb drives will not be allowed. If you have videos in your presentation that were not sent to your track leader with your final slide deck please send them to me this week so I can make sure the video files are loaded onto the session laptops.
• Come to your presentation prepared: Please check in with the moderator 30 minutes before the session start time. In most cases your moderator is the track leader you have been working with throughout this process. Monday morning (MM)= 9:30 am; Monday afternoon (MA)= 3:00 pm; Tuesday morning (TM)= 7:30 am; Tuesday afternoon (TA)= 3:00 pm; Wednesday morning (WM)= 7:30 am.
• Let them know! You’ve worked hard to get here, so let everyone know that you are a presenter at this year’s No-Dig Show! You can add a signature line image promoting your involvement by downloading it here.

Remember, if your PowerPoint presentation includes a video, please send the video file as well so it can be uploaded to the session laptop.
