No More USB Sticks: Seamless Presentation Management for Global Events

Why Presentations Are the Heart of Every Scientific Conference

When researchers step onto the stage, they carry years of innovation, data, and insight with them. Their presentation is more than a slideshow — it’s the centerpiece of a scientific or medical conference.

Everything else — from signage and catering to registration software — exists to support that one moment: the delivery of knowledge.

Yet many organizations forget the most essential part of speaker support — making sure their presentation actually runs.

One Technical Error Can Undermine the Entire Event

Let’s be honest. A beautiful venue and smooth check-in process won’t save a keynote that fails on stage.

Here’s what often still happens at events today:

• Slides are delivered on USB sticks

• Videos freeze because they weren’t tested

• The wrong presentation appears on screen

• Technicians rush to troubleshoot in real-time

• The audience disengages

It’s chaotic. It’s avoidable. And it’s not how modern conferences should operate.

The Hidden Complexity of Presentation Management

Organizers face enormous logistical challenges, especially at global events:

• Dozens of concurrent sessions over multiple days

• Thousands of presentations needing technical checks

• Last-minute updates, COI disclosures, and program changes

• Online + onsite audiences expecting smooth delivery

• Speakers with varying tech experience levels

Without a unified system, the risk of disruption grows — and so does the workload for event teams.
