Bios & Headshot/Attire/Audiovisual:
- Bio & Headshot — Send a 40–100 word bio in sentence form (no bullets or resumes) and a high-resolution headshot in .jpg/.jpeg format to Monica Cordova at your earliest convenience.
- Room Set-up & Audiovisual — Speakers and moderators will be sitting on chairs that are spread out across the stage. Each panelist will receive a sanitized lavalier mic. Wearing a mask is optional while on stage. Moderators are required to use their own device to monitor the Q&A, please visit your "app store” to download the NLT 2025 app or go to nlt.cnf.io, and select your session to view the questions submitted by your audience.
Moderator Responsibilities & Best Practices:
As the moderator, you will serve as a discussion facilitator. You will introduce speakers, keep time, and facilitate the audience Q&A portion of the presentation.
- Arrive at the session room at least 15 minutes before the start of the presentation. This will allow you to greet the speakers at the front of the room and connect with the audiovisual technicians.
- If you plan to use PowerPoint, the presentations will be loaded onto the laptop located in the session room and saved as “session ID_ All Speakers/Speaker last name.” When you arrive in the room, please open the PowerPoint, if it’s not opened already, and verify that it is ready to go. AV technicians will be available to assist with audiovisual equipment as needed.
- Moderators are required to use their own device (cell phone or tablet) to view attendees’ questions. Please visit your "app store" and download the NLT 2025 app or go to nlt.cnf.io and select your session number to see the questions submitted by your audience, ranked by popularity. For more tips on how our Q&A works, check out the Presentation Materials & Engagement Tools section posted below.

Presentation Materials & Engagement Tools:
- Slide Design & Template — We strongly encourage all speakers to use the NLT'24 PowerPoint template.
- Presentation slides are posted for attendees to view and to print before the training. By submitting your slides to AGA, you agree to their publication unless otherwise specified.
- To maintain consistency, combine all speaker slides into one PowerPoint deck in the order in which they will be presented. Send the final slide deck to Christen Denson (with your polling spreadsheet, if applicable) on or before January 30.
- For more information on the benefits of polling in your presentation, please click on the image below.
- Team Battle! — Team Battle is a quiz-style game in which groups of attendees compete against one another to answer questions quickly and correctly. If you would like to incorporate Team Battle into your presentation, please follow the instructions below.
- Include one blank slide in your presentation where you want to begin the battle.
- Complete the Team Battle spreadsheet with your questions and answers. Please indicate in your spreadsheet which answer is the correct one!

Battle Spreadsheet
IMPORTANT: Once you have inserted the blank slide into your final PowerPoint presentation, email all three documents (final slide deck and completed polling/Team Battle spreadsheet ) to Monica Cordova no later than January 30.
Social Q&A — Social Q&A allows attendees to anonymously ask the panelists questions in real-time, during a session. Using the NLT App, virtual attendees will submit questions through the Q&A tab in the chatroom on their player screen. Attendees can see questions other people ask and upvote ones they want speakers to address. This feature will be used in all sessions. Please watch the Social Q&A tutorial video below for more information.
