What is exactly a Virtual/Online Summit?
A virtual summit is a type of collaborative online event in which speakers and attendees are brought together using an advanced online platform where speakers present or are interviewed and the participants are able to engage in real time. It is an online version of the conference experience.
We have developed an advanced online platform that enables speakers, participants, partners, and sponsors to connect using technology both in real time and in pre-recorded formats. The benefits to a virtual summit are many and include no need for travel, a reduced attendance cost, scheduling flexibility, and the ability to bring experts and participants together no matter where they are located.
We aim to bring together a pan-Asia community of supply chain, procurement and logistics professionals to grow and learn by sharing learning, inspiration and ideas, and make connections in a sustainable and carbon neutral way 🌱, see the type of members we cater for at https://gscc.co/demographics
Why Participate?
There are a lot of good reasons to get involved. Here are just a few:
- Expand your brand reach
- Get new clients/customers
- Find new partners for your business or network
- Network with other experts and attendees
- Promote softly your solutions, services (no hard sales pitch)
- Make money on affiliate ticket sales
- Rub shoulders with other leaders and standouts in the industry
What’s Involved? What is the commitment?
If selected, you’ll be invited to record your presentation for the summit and given the option to make yourself available to the live Q&A. While your session will be 30 minutes, your actual presentation must be around 20 minutes long, so we can keep everyone engaged and give you a chance to share your quality content. The Q&A will be conducted live during and after your session via the comments section on your speakers page. An introduction will be recorded by your event host and added to the start of the recording.
Ideally, all speakers will spread the word about the event via email, LinkedIn, and other such methods – we all benefit as a result.

How to record my presentation?
Your session can be recorded by sitting at your desk talking to the camera on your laptop or it could be a slide presentation recorded on your computer. There’s no need for fancy TV studios, talking into your laptop at your desk is fine.
You can record the content (you could do this via HippoVideo, Zoom, Loom, Dubb or other software) at a time that suits you. Further instructions will be provided to each speaker via email.
Pre-recording Checklist
🎙Use a quality mic: laptop mics and Apple Earbuds aren't up to scratch. Use a quality headset and ensure the world can clearly hear what you have to say.
🎥 Use a quality webcam: body language is 55% of communication so share your video feed.
🌱Quiet place: recording in a small quiet space is best, with no background noise. Big, ventilated offices are the worst for recording.
🔕Silence notifications: emails, phones ringing, Slack notifications, Skype - make sure you have nothing to distract your audience.
☁️ Record your talk via Zoom: you can create an account for free and then send us your recording link. Click here for how to record via Zoom.
💰Decide on a Giveaway: you’re more than welcome to promote a special offer, giveaway, or your website at the end of your talk to make it easy for people to connect with you. This giveaway or special offer can also be promoted on your speaker’s page so make sure to add it within your speaker dashboard.

Speaker Perks
Those summits wouldn't exist without you and we appreciate how supportive you have all been to share your wisdom and help to bring together supply chain professionals from across the world. While we don't have a budget for speakers fees, we've carved out some other great ways to earn and perks to say thank you 😍
## Partnership Revenue
Whether you have a a vibrant blog, social following or email list, you can earn revenue with partnership marketing. This means you'll get your own chunk of change every time someone buys an All Access pass via your own referral links that show on your speakers dashboard.
**How much can I earn?**
That's entirely up to you! We pay 30% of the ticket price as commission. That means, if 10 people bought a US$ 199 ticket, you'd get US$ 597 paid to you. There is **no limit** to the number of tickets you are allowed to refer!
## Brand Recognition
Speakers have the opportunity to share their respective brands with the community via our notable brand spotlight. You can upload a brand logo as part of the speaker application, it will be associated with your talk, and it will be featured on the website.
## Speaker Discount Code
You will have a unique discount code that you can share with your audience in order to incentivise them to register for the event. Tweet it out, post it to Facebook, and share it on LinkedIn using our pre-written swipe copy. Use your customized speaker promotion card that you can find in your dashboard for even more engagement. Couple the discount code with our partnership program to drive even more sign-ups and increase your overall earnings.
## Exclusive Offer to Attendees
Offers are a great way for you to generate interest, signups and sales for a product or service of yours. Offers are typically discounts rather than freebies. For example, you might offer 10% off your latest book or 1 month free if they sign-up for consulting services. You simply need to enter a URL for Attendees to redeem the offer in the speaker dashboard (edit session details). Offers are sent out to Attendees at the end of the day in the Replay email.

Attendees can be entered into a prizedraw by turning up to a session live. Winners are notified 24hrs after the Session has taken place. This is a great way to incentivise live attendance. Prizedraws and quantities can be set in the speaker portal.

If a freebie is made available, it will be shown on your speaker and talk detail page within the online summit system. This is a great way to grow your audience.
