OPTECH 2026 Speaker Onboarding Portal

Thanks for agreeing to speak at OPTECH 2026. Complete this checklist to ensure you are prepped for the big day.

Step 1: Complete Your Speaker Onboarding Form

If you haven't already, complete our speaker onboarding form and upload your headshot. This ensures we have all of the correct information on file for you and grants us permission to promote your participation.

Step 2: Upload Your Presentation Files

If you have ben identified as needing to upload a presentation for an OPTECH session, either as a moderator or speaker (or as a team member uploading on a speaker’s behalf), follow these steps to gain access to the presentation hub:

Uploading Your OPTECH 2026 Presentation

Deadline: 5:00 PM ET, Monday, November 9

1. Build your slides in the OPTECH template.
   Download our event presentation template. Use PowerPoint (.pptx) in 16:9 format. The template is already set up correctly, so keep its default font. Use PNG or JPG images, and embed any videos directly in the file instead of linking to them. On a Mac, convert videos to .mp4. If you use Keynote, export to .pptx. If you are a moderator on a panel, please be sure to check with your fellow panelists to see if they have any slides and combine all slides before uploading.
2. Log in to Presenter Hub.
   
3. First time? Log in with your email and the password OPTECHhub26.
   Be sure to use the email address that this instructional email was sent to. If you are a team member uploading on a speaker's behalf, your email will be associated with that speakers account, not their email. If you would like to make changes to the email on file, please contact sdelatorre@nmhc.org. You’ll then be asked to create your own password. Be sure to save it so you can make changes as needed. If you are uploading on someone else's behalf, be sure to share the credentials with them so they can access the system on-site. Returning? Use your existing password, or click “Forgot Password” to reset it.
4. Upload your file.
   Find your session and click the blue Open Presentation button. Under My Presentation, click Upload, then drag in your file or browse for it. When it’s done, your file will appear in the My Presentation section. If you’re speaking in more than one session, you’ll see each of them in Presenter Hub. You only need to upload slides for sessions where you and your panel have confirmed with your RETTC staff liaison that a presentation is needed. You can ignore the others.
