THINGS TO DO IN SCHED:
For all speakers - please check your speaker bio, session description and upload handouts or small video files to Sched:
All Sessions have been uploaded to https://pdtca2023.sched.com/
Please log in and check and edit your session/sessions and attach handouts important to your session. There is a limit of 10 attachments per session with a maximum file size of 50MB each.
After you click on the Sched link, log in using the login link in the very top right of the page. You will use the email you submitted your speaking proposal with and enter a password for Sched. If you have forgotten your password or if this is your first time ever logging into Sched and you have no password, you simply click change password and you will be able to set a login password. When you are logged in, an avatar will appear instead of the login link - usually your picture or a head profile.
HOW TO ADD YOUR HANDOUTS, SMALL VIDEO FILES TO SCHED - MAX 50MB per file: Log into Sched if you haven’t already. Find your session/sessions by using the Search field near the top right of where the session title bars start. Just typing in your last name will find all your sessions. Click on Your Session in Sched that you want to add a handout(called presentations in Sched) to and then follow these instructions https://sched.com/guide/upload-presentations-and-files/ You can also edit your description or your profile as well.
Open all the files yourself after they are uploaded and make sure they are as you expect. If you posted a pdf with hyperlinks in the pdf, check to make sure that the hyperlinks actually work when the file is downloaded and opened.
You may want to share your email address with participants if there are a lot of questions and your session time is nearly over. Having a sign ready to hold up for participants to see the email(or project it from your laptop) might be helpful for this. You could also share it at the beginning of your session if you wish.

IF YOU HAVE A SESSION THAT REQUIRES PRE-REGISTRATION
If your session requires pre-registration please check who is signed up for your session by going to https://www.pdtca.org/speakers-check-pre-reg-lists.html
Sched is just a site for teachers to create a schedule of sessions they wish to attend much like a booklet. It is not a pre-registration site. Teachers can make their profiles private and we have no idea who they are nor do we have an email for them and we have no control over signup and closing dates, therefore we have to use an external site to register teachers for sessions.
AT THE TOP OF SCHED YOU WILL SEE: FOR PRE-REGISTERED SESSIONS PLEASE USE THE PRE-REGISTRATION LINK IN THE SESSION DESCRIPTION. IT IS https://www.pdtca.org/pre-registration.html Adding the session to your Sched schedule does not mean you are pre-registered.

GETTING PAID:
Sometime during convention, please visit the Information desk, either before or after you speak. We need social insurance numbers for speakers who are being paid in their name as we need to report this income for Canada Revenue. Agencies need to provide their Business(gst) number. If you already posted an invoice and the number in your speaking proposal, we will have that recorded.
