This is your final reminder email!

  1. Make sure you register 
    • All speakers must register. Preregister here so your badge is ready to go when you get onsite in Portland.
  2. Book your hotel room
  3. Download the app
    • We have a new app this year! Keep a look out for communications these next few weeks on how to download and use the app.
  4. Update your speaker profile
    • Click on the blue button below to view your speaker profile in your portal. Make sure your profile photo and bio are updated. We are doing some clean up in this area as well, so if you are updating your bio please make sure it’s 400 characters or less. Speakers will introduce themselves, and attendees will reference your bio in the app.
  5. Found a typo in your final PPT? We can fix that!
    • You can check your PowerPoint slide deck on Sunday, April 30 from 12:00-2:00 PM in the Speaker Ready Room, which is room E146. 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 uploaded in your portal by the final submission deadline please send them to me this week so I can make sure the video files are loaded onto the session laptops.
  6. 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- 9:25 AM
      • Monday afternoon- 3:15 PM
      • Tuesday morning- 7:30 AM
      • Tuesday afternoon- 3:00 PM
      • Wednesday morning- 7:30 AM

Thank you all for your hard work and dedication to our conference! Looking forward to see you in Portland…and maybe enjoying a donut together!

Final PPT and papers are due today!

Authors:

  1. Make sure you label your files with the word “Final” so we know it’s your final version.
  2. Please delete any draft documents still in the system so we don’t accidentally save an old version of your work.
  3. If you have a video in your PPT make sure you upload the video file separately.
  4. Contact your track leader via email to let them know your final version is ready for their review.
  5. Note: the PPT files will be saved on the session laptops at the conference. You will not be permitted to bring an updated version of your presentation on a thumb drive and use it onsite.

Track Leaders:

  1. Please give the final files in your session one last review.
  2. Once a file is ready, please mark it off on the Smartsheet (link sent today) so we know it’s ready to be pulled.

Hello No-Dig Show Speakers and Track Leaders! Here are your March deadline reminders:

  • March 13- Speakers to submit final papers and PPT to the portal. Authors must notify their track leaders that the final version is uploaded so it may be reviewed.
  • March 21- Early registration deadline for the conference. All speakers and track leaders must register: https://www.nodigshow.com/registration/
  • March 31- Upload or check your profile photo and bio in the system. Click on the “Visit Your Speaker Portal” blue button below and select “My Profile” in the left toolbar. The photos are currently visible on the No-Dig Show website and will also be visible on the app when launched in April. The show will be paperless this year, so you want to look your best in the app! The recommended size for the photos is 200×200.
  • Looking ahead: April 7- Final date to book your hotel at the Hyatt Regency or Doubletree at the discounted rate. Rates are available until the block sells out, so book ASAP: https://www.nodigshow.com/hotel-information/.

Additional reminders:

  • We are in the process of collecting all the files for the conference. Please make sure you delete any drafts in the system and label final papers and PPT with the word “Final”. If it doesn’t say final we aren’t considering it ready to go.
  • If your PPT has a video please make sure you also upload the raw video file. These will be saved on the session laptops so you have the source video file.
  • Make sure you add the session number to the first slide of the PPT.

I wanted to reach out with a session schedule progress update for the NASTT 2023 No-Dig Show.
Track Leaders were assigned today, and they are receiving access to author drafts with this email communication. Authors will see track leaders in their personal portal when logged in. They are listed as co-authors, but they have (Track Leader) after their name. They will not be visible on the website or on the app.

Track leaders will review drafts in the coming weeks. In the meantime, authors should be working on draft papers which are due January 9, 2023. Remember all tools are located at www.nodigshow.com/speaker-resources/. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to your track leader or myself at mhill@nastt.org.
