Hey all,
As we approach Nice, I wanted to once again call your attention to some possibilities for your Catalyst project- both to help promote your project as well as some updates on milestones.
Virtual Showbag
- The Virtual Show Bag is the online library containing al the marketing materials about your project, as well as the marketing materials of all participating companies. By easily scanning the delegate’s badge, the collateral materials will be sent to the delegate to their email provided during registration. Please note: no physical flyers or brochures are allowed in your booth
- In order to use the page, just visit your Catalyst space àthe ‘Catalyst Virtual Show Bag’ which can be found by using the left-hand side navigation bar. Once in the page, click edit and add documents, images and any other content by using the Edit Bar at the top of the page. If you require any assistance or require any further help don’t hesitate to contact [email protected].
- In order to get the team started please see below a suggestion of materials for the Virtual Bag:
- Presentations: Upload all 3 Elevator Pitch, Theatre Presentation and Full-Story;
- Videos: Both Elevator Pitch interview created for the Action Week, plus the longer video created ahead of the Live! Event describing the project and demo.
- Blog article, if one was published.

Virtual Showbag
As in the past, we are providing you with a virtual showbag. As company-specific materials are not allowed to be distributed at your project booth, this is the place you can put it. All of the materials uploaded to the space will be emailed to the delegates that visit your booth via the scanners that we will be providing you for the show. This page will be in your Confluence Spaces by next week, but you have until the week of the event to upload anything you want sent out.
Ready-Set-Go Webinar
On Tuesday May 2 at 11:00 AM Eastern, I will be hosting a webinar that covers logistics, floorplan, travel, registration, agendas and will be on hand to answer any questions you may have. Please register using this link: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/5921282814587633921.
Registration/Contracts
If you have yet to sign your contract, you will not be able to register for the event with your complimentary passes, be including in the project booth, or take part in any networking activities. Please let me know if anyone on your team is struggling getting a signed contract.
Best,
Jean-Pierre Dufresne
