Speaker Guidelines

Thank you for your interest in presenting a webinar for dog-ibox!

Before contacting us, we kindly ask that you carefully read our speaker guidelines.

 

 

General Conditions

• As a dog-ibox speaker, you focus on positive-reinforcement and force-free training based in science.

• dog-ibox organizes a webinar on your behalf. This includes the announcement and promotion of the webinar, the recording (including the transfer of all copyrights to dog-ibox) plus the exclusive marketing and reproduction of the webinar.

• Duration: Between 1 - 2 hours (you have a free choice of duration. Webinar series are of course also possible).

• Think about your topic with a laser-like focus, narrowing it down to a manageable amount of information. In the email you will need to provide a brief description of your topic that explains what you can teach and share in a 2-hours session (leaving time for questions and answers). We are looking for narrow topics, rather than general.

• When preparing your speaker submission, we encourage you to think like an attendee, asking yourself what an attendee would want to learn about your topic idea. What will they take home from your session that will help them with their dog training and/or business?

• dog-ibox will promote your webinar in newsletters, on Social Media (sponsored ad) and as Dog Seminars Directory advertisment (dog-ibox will cover all expenses). Therefor we need the complete webinar description at least 6 weeks before the live event.

• dog-ibox will also apply for CEUs for your webinar.

• Let us know how you can help promote dog-ibox and your webinar session. We expect speakers to help us expand our community of dog trainers and lovers. What to avoid: Your session should not be a product pitch, nor promotional for your blog, company, or services. Promotion and buzz about your company will naturally flow from delivering a high quality session.

• For audio, we are using VOIP. Speakers must use a headset to ensure best audio quality. No webcam is needed.

• dog-ibox is responsible for the entire technical support, the sale, the editing, the provision of the documents as well as the preparation of the certificates of attendance.

• dog-ibox assumes all costs for the webinar software, the creation, editing and maintenance of the webinar.

• dog-ibox takes care of all customer support for your webinar.

• You should be familiar with PowerPoint or Keynote. Videos can be integrated directly in the presentation. The presentation you wish to use for the live webinar must be submitted to dog-ibox 4 days prior to the webinar. dog-ibox will transform your presentation into a PDF file and share it with the attendees at least one day prior to the live webinar.

• You must be willing to schedule a test webinar in order to check the system requirements..

• On the day of the actual webinar, you are required to be online one hour before the webinar session starts.

• dog-ibox will edit the webinar recording, including videos, for you so that the recording can be made available to our customers in the best possible quality. Editing usually takes 6 - 8 hours, so a recording cannot be made available immediately after the webinar (but usually within 24 hours).

• Your webinar session will be recorded and the recording can be purchased in our online shop. It will remain in the dog-ibox shop for five years. Buyers of the recording will also have access to the student notes and each attendee receives a personalized certificate of attendance.

• You agree that dog-ibox shall have exclusive access to the recording and all associated documents for a period of five years from the date of recording and that no claims for validity shall be asserted.

• You will receive a compensation of 50% of all proceeds (sales of live webinar and recordings).

• For our webinar commission payments, we are either mailing a check (if in the US) or we’ll be using PayPal. All payments are made in USD.
