Speaker FAQs


Welcome to the ManuSec Canada Summit…

We are delighted to have you join us as a speaker for this year’s event!

Here you can find all you need to know in terms of deliverables for the ManuSec Canada Summit as well as learning how you can promote your involvement in the run up to the event.

About Your Session

  • Presentation / Case Study Presentation
    This session lasts 30 minutes. You can choose whether to use slides as support. We recommend keeping the actual talk to 20-25 minutes to allow for questions from the audience.
  • Panel Discussion
    This session lasts 40 minutes and is composed of a moderator and three or four speakers sitting on stage, answering the moderator’s question and engaging in a conversation. No slides required. The conference producer will arrange a prep call with all panel members a couple of weeks before the event to break the ice as well as review structure and questions.
  • Fireside Chat
    This session lasts 30 minutes and is composed of a moderator and one or two speakers sitting on stage, answering the moderator’s question and engaging in a conversation. No slides required. The conference producer will arrange a prep call with all fireside chat members a couple of weeks before the event to break the ice as well as review structure and questions.
  • Roundtable
    This session lasts 40 minutes. No slides to prepare. Attendees are going to split into different working groups, each centred on a specific topic, making up a roundtable. As the moderator, you are in charge of getting the conversation started by providing a brief overview of the topic you have chosen, as well as asking some questions and facilitating the discussion by making sure everyone has the chance to express their views. Once the delegates have reached your table, you may start the conversation by introducing yourself and giving an outline of the topic to be discussed. You may ask everyone sitting at the table to introduce themselves too, and ask them questions on the chosen topic.
  • Group Discussion
    This session lasts 40 minutes. No slides to prepare. As the moderator, you will be engaging in a conversation with the whole audience.  You will introduce the topic, then raise some points and/or asks some questions and all delegates can answer and share their views. It is a very interactive session.
