Tips for Success
- Make sure your presentation adds value. Include the key learnings attendees will take away from your session.
- Keep it vendor neutral. It’s fine to talk about specific products, but Spiceworks will disqualify any product or vendor pitch.
- Get specific. Clearly define the concepts and ideas in your submission, explain the problem and the solution(s) you’re offering, as well as any important details.
