Speaker Benefits
Choral Mosaic 2020 provides a powerful platform to network with approximately 800 choral music enthusiasts and to share knowledge, lessons learned, best practices, new ideas and the joy of choral music singing. Choral Mosaic is a not-for-profit organization and can provide a nominal speaking honorarium.
Presentation Format and Logistics
Workshop sessions are 60 minutes in length. Because of our tight Program Schedule, conference attendees will have only minutes to get to their next scheduled activity, which means that workshop start and end times must be strictly adhered to. Choral Mosaic representatives will be on hand during each workshop to prompt the Presenter when it is time to start and to wrap up.
Most workshop sessions will be held in conference rooms or in a small theatre with chairs only, for maximum occupancy as deemed by the facility and in accordance with venue fire safety codes. Depending on the allotted workshop space, Presenters should anticipate an audience size of approximately 50 to 200 people per session. Presenters should design their presentation approaches with the facility logistics in mind. Please note that we are unable to modify or alter seating arrangements/set-ups for individual sessions. Rooms are equipped with standardized audio-visual: projection unit/screen and a microphone. Any other A/V requirements must be discussed during the application process with the Choral Mosaic Selection Committee for approval.
