Speaker Information + Resources
Hi there!
I’m so excited to invite you to join our virtual Summit through which you will be connected to a community of tons of product development prospects.
Summit Purpose
The core purpose of the Lifestyle Product Development virtual Summit is to connect brands with product manufacturers – the audience will range from Artists to Influencers to Designers to Retailers. What does everyone have in common? They are eager to create custom branded products.
Product Categories Covered
Speakers range from Porcelain manufacturers to Silk Scarves and sarongs to luxury packaging – we try to include a broad range across the lifestyle category. Everyone’s pre-recorded videos will cover these key categories in relation to your respective product(s): Typical MOQs, sampling / prototyping process, lead times, production locations, materials available, and estimated pricing examples. We would also like you to share notable former customers for context.
What You'll Find Within This Page
On this page, you’ll find all kinds of resources meant to make your life as a speaker as easy as possible and answer any questions you might have. If you run into a question I didn’t answer, email me at [email protected]. What specific talking points do you feel would be beneficial to include? I’m happy to help you frame it up.

How It'll All Work
Let’s do a quick rundown of how the whole thing will work.
Event Overview
The event is ultimately pre-recorded and is intended to take about 1 – 2 days for viewers to complete the 10-15 presentations. We expect each presentation to be up to 20 minutes of content. It’s scheduled to launch March 1. A worksheet that follows along with or complements the presentation, and a live chat.
Presentation Format
While the presentations themselves are pre-recorded, all speakers are asked to attend their presentation time live to interact with attendees in the Rinnovo Member portal. There is no video component, so attendance from your couch in your comfies is, of course, totally acceptable!
Membership Portal
Along with the live presentations, there will be a Membership Portal for Speakers and attendees to hang out in, hold each other accountable, and ask all of us additional questions. The goal is to record questions within the Member Portal so live attendees and future attendees can reflect back on your answers, which will provide long lasting value.
Introductions to Prospects
We do have a VIP option in which these VIP attendees will receive a personal introduction by Rinnovo to you and/or your designated team member. We call this VIP Direct Connect.
Marketing
As a Speaker, you have only two responsibilities in relation to the Summit!
1. Pre-record your video and
2. Be fully present within the Member Portal during the time your presentation is scheduled to go “live” so you can type answers to questions you receive.
Keeping Your Identity Private
Please be sure not to disclose your full name and company details during your presentation or with your Member Portal username as our key goal is prospects would request personal introductions from Rinnovo Studio to you. This is the only thing we ask.
What I'll Need From You
Just a few quick things!
1. Basic Information
The first thing I’ll need is some very basic information from you so I can finish up our registration page and Speakers page.
This information includes:
- Word Document
- Name
- Title
- Bio
- Product Capabilities
- Notable clients you’ve worked with
- Photos (JPEG/PNG/Whichever is best for you)
- Headshot
- Photos of products you’ve produced

2. Presentation Slot Scheduled
The next thing I’ll need is for you to schedule your presentation slot! Click here to see the list of times that are available and to schedule yours. (Slots are first-come first-served so if you have a tight schedule be sure to grab your spot right away)
While your presentation will be pre-recorded, you’ll still be required to be in the Member Portal live during your time slot to answer questions and connect with attendees. During this slot, once your presentation has had time to air, you’ll also be able to access the Member Portal to keep an eye on new questions that come up. This will continue to engage prospects with you and your products – they will eventually ask Rinnovo for an introduction which we will make directly to you!
3. Presentation
Next up is your presentation! This is a 15-20 minute pre-recorded presentation that is meant to be more friendly and casual than perfect and structured.
Please structure your content in a way that allows attendees to walk away feeling like they've really learned specifics that will help them immediately calculate and determine if they can invest in your specific product(s). We request you show examples of products you have made and cover the following specifics:
- Brief history of your company without sharing your identity
- MOQs
- Outline the process of: Sampling/Prototyping
- Overview available materials for your respective product(s)
- Lead Times
- Production Location options
- Pricing Estimates by product
- Include questions for attendees to answer in the chat box throughout to boost engagement With that being said, you have your choice of the following presentation formats: Slides, no slides – jus tyou speaking, a mixture of both, or interview style in which we will interview you.
- If you’d like to go with the interview style presentation, schedule a time with me to do that here. You’ll still be responsible for editing if any is needed, but we’ll work together to come up with questions.
Presentations are due by [February 15].
Find a handy download with all this info here.
4. Worksheet
Along with each presentation will be a worksheet. There are a few reasons behind this:
- They encourage people to take action, which increases value
- A template/takeaway keeps you front of mind to the viewer
- It’s an easy way for viewers to take notes
- We’ll be able to capture the email addresses of people interested in your topic, which you’ll receive within 6 weeks of the event.
The content of the worksheet should follow along with your presentation and encourage attendees to take action via requesting an introduction to you.
You can simply create the worksheet on a word document and we will brand it!
5.VIP Direct Connect Contribution
This VIP option will be a huge addition to the presentations we’re running. Please let us know what you would like to offer.
6. Live Participation
All I ask is that you participate in the Member Portal during your presentation slot and interact within the Member Portal throughout the following week to help attendees stay excited and engaged – and hopefully request direct introductions to you.
