Speakers Only

Stuff You Really Need to Know Before Coming to Copenhagen

So we tried heaps of strategies in the past to get our busy speakers to read our emails. Some of it worked, and some of it… Well, there’s a reason this page came to life.
The ‘Speakers Only!’ page holds all the info you need before getting on the plane to Copenhagen in April.
We are still going to email you about updates and useful info to make sure you are 100% in the loop at all times.
Give the page a read and come back and check for updates before take off.

Handouts are most welcome

If you have physical content the participants simply cannot live without, you are welcome to include this in your conference kit. We are happy to collect this and make a ‘Clever Kit’ to be included in our goodie bag set-up.

So, if you have blog posts, cheat sheet templates, reports or e-books you want to share, please provide us with a unique link. We will then take care of the rest – no sales material though!

Tips to dazzle a Scandinavian audience:

The ‘Scandies’ are not that great at asking questions in a plenum. But if you ask them relevant and inclusive questions during your presentation they will engage.
Besides that, the Scandies are suckers for humor. Self-deprecating, dark humor is great preso tactics – you will win over the entire room if you sprinkle a little ‘fun’ throughout your talk.

Stories are golden – especially the ones that hold valuable learnings. If you are equally generous and bold, you will share a good mix of success stories AND stories that conclude on what NOT to do.
You’ll get points from our Head of Events if you engage the audience. A full day of powerpoints both can and will kill even the most attentive attendee.

Last but not least, leave the sales pitch at home – This does not belong on stage at Clever Content Conference and the audience hate it. This includes product demos as well – life is simply too short…
(You never know… We might just add rotten tomatoes and eggs to the goodie bags as a handy ‘express yourself kit’)

When preparing your presentation, you can consult with Seth Godin’s “How to fix really bad PowerPoints” to avoid the most common mistakes (unless you are already a preso wizard).

Leave out slides with complex tables and technical explanations and specifications. Our experience is that it is a killer for the audience to decode.
Why make people fall asleep when you can make them laugh or even feel enlightened, right?

Accommodation

The conference will take place in central Copenhagen at the Mogens Dahl Concert Hall. The venue is about 3,5 km from Brand Movers’ office. If you have accommodation included in your speaker agreement, your room will be booked at the brand new Hotel Otilia next to our office building. The speaker dinner on Day 1 will take place in this area, as well as the workshop on Day 2.
Are you in charge of your own accommodation, we encourage you to book the same hotel. However, if you prefer to stay closer to the conference venue, hotels such as Copenhagen Island and Radisson Blu are very close by.

Travel

The conference venue is within walking distance from the metro stop Islands Brygge Station.

Once you know your time of arrival and departure, our event manager, Ann-Sofie, would love to be looped in, so she can help you plan the logistics of your stay. Send her an email at ann-sofie@brandmovers.dk

A handful of travel tips:

Traveler’s tip 1: Copenhagen has one airport – Kastrup Airport – with 3 terminals, all within walking distance from each other.

Traveler’s tip 2: You can use your VISA and Mastercard to purchase tickets for public transportation (Trains and Metro) at the airport. Additionally, the taxi’s in Copenhagen all accept credit cards.

Traveler’s tip 3: Uber is no longer permitted in Denmark.

Traveler’s tip 4: Finding an ATM is not that tricky in Central Copenhagen. Often, the ATM’s are located either on the outside or inside of the banks.  You will also find exchange shops at the airport and in the center of Copenhagen. The Danish currency is Danish Kroner, but you will also be able to pay with euro in department stores downtown.

Traveler’s tip 5: CO2 offsetting. Airfare is one of the big climate sinners. If you want to offset your travel emission it can be done via the official UN platform for around 2€

Yes, we are promoting the heck out of #CCDK19 – CM Style!

We will be promoting the event here as well as on all Brand Movers and Dansk Markedsførings owned channels and we will do our best to introduce you to the CCDK crowd, by asking questions, interacting and contributing with insights, blog posts, and the like.
