To chase up a really busy person

Posted about this before. Got offered this great career opportunity to speak at an event, through someone I had had a fling with. Was unsure whether to follow-up on it because the guy kept going quiet.

MN encouraged me to go for it anyway and try to secure the opportunity, which I did!

The problem is, while it’s definitely confirmed, getting any info has been like pulling teeth. I need to know how long I’m speaking for, whether there will be Q&A, what time it is. In fact, I’m not even sure what night I’m speaking on.

While he’s confirmed it’s going ahead, everything’s been a one word answer, so I loath to chase up. I assume he’s really busy (or maybe just rude, who knows!).

This is career defining for me though and I really don’t want to mess it up!

AIBU just to list my questions and expect answers? It really doesn’t feel like something I want to be winging. It’s only 3 weeks away now and I’m completely unprepared!

Well done. You'd usually have a briefing/getting to know you call with the other panellists for something like this - can you organise that directly with them?
