ASK-THE-EXPERTS ROUNDTABLE PRESENTERS
All ATE Roundtables will take place Monday, October 11, 12:30 p.m. – 1:30 p.m. in the Exhibit Hall.
Think of the Ask-the-Experts Roundtables as speed dating between conference attendees and presenters. Some attendees remain at the same roundtable the entire hour; others table hop and visit several presenters to get information. Each table has 10 chairs and is semi-private with pipe and drape. There is standing room—you may have up to 15 attendees at your roundtable at any given time.
There is a number assigned to your roundtable which will be noted on signage and the number will be on your table, along with a table tent of your roundtable title. We will send a PDF with more information at a later date.
If you would like to bring your laptop, you are more than welcome. Be sure your battery is charged—there may not be an electrical outlet near your table. Presenters are welcome to bring handouts to distribute to attendees.

SPEAKER REPLACEMENTS
It happens every year: a speaker has to cancel for whatever reason. Here’s the skinny on how to proceed:
- Find a suitable replacement (same level/expertise and similar company as the canceled speaker), and notify me of the change ASAP via email.
- Have the new speaker complete a DMA2010 Speaker Data Form.
- Be sure to have the new speaker complete self-registration online. Click here to register: we’ll cancel the old speaker out of the system)
Note: We are in production for the on-site show directory. Any speaker changes must be submitted by Friday, July 16, 2010, to ensure inclusion in the print directory.

SPEAKER REGISTRATION
Speakers are required to self-register online. Please click here to complete your registration. This link will take you through the entire registration process. You will receive a confirmation once you have completed all steps of the registration process.
Note: Ancillary events such as the ECHO Awards Gala and DMA Council Events require a separate registration fee. You will have the opportunity to add these events during your self-registration.
If you have any issues with online registration, please call customer service at +1.866.486.0734 and identify yourself as a DMA2010 speaker.
Answers to questions that have come up from speakers about the online registration process:
Q: What should I register as?
A: Individual Registration/Attendee
Q: On the Conference Registration Page, what is the keycode and the discount code?
A: These boxes should be already pre-populated. If not, enter SPK for the keycode.
Q: Which conference package should I choose?
A: If the discount code shows SPK, then the next screen should offer only 1 package option, the speaker registration package: Pre-Conf/Conf & Exhibition/Post Conf - Speaker Pkg.
Q: Do I have to purchase an ECHO Gala ticket?
A: No, as this is an optional event. The ECHO Gala is checked on the Special Events Page. Be sure to uncheck it so that you will not have a balance at the end. If you would like to purchase an ECHO ticket or any of the DMA Council events, keep the ECHO Gala box checked along with the events you would like to purchase. The balance for these items will appear at the end.
Q: What is the Live Learning Center?
A: The LLC is a compilation of all DMA2010 sessions (audio synced with the PPT presentation) that are available free of charge and accessible online post-conference.
HOTEL RESERVATIONS
Once your registration is completed, you may also confirm your hotel reservation in the DMA hotel block by clicking here.
We strongly encourage speakers to book hotels within the DMA block because it supports the show. Our travel partner is working diligently to ensure that prices are competitive (many hotels have reduced their rates already). In addition, some hotels in the DMA block are offering complimentary services such as free Internet Wi-Fi, Health club access, and credits to be used for hotel services and restaurants.
