Some tips to help you with your presentation, collected from our sister organizations, NAFSA, and AIEA:
Build Content
- Introduce an agenda, so participants know what to expect.
- Provide information about the expected learning outcomes, objectives, or key takeaways.
- Slides should not be text heavy.
- A well-chosen chart or diagram can often convey much more to your audience than bulleted text.
- Images keep participants’ interest and are useful in presentations. It may be best to use images from your institution whenever possible, as this contributes to marketing and branding for your university or organization, and it is often royalty free. For suggestions on finding images for your presentation, please see the list of sources below, paying particular attention to when a citation is necessary.
- Keep your promise and deliver what is published in your title and abstract.
- Build interest and curiosity. Think about including visuals, stories, and interesting facts or statistics.
- Engage your audience – don’t just lecture on your topic.
- Think about how people can use your information at their workplaces.
Deliver
- Greet the audience when they come in.
- Project passion and excitement – emotions are contagious.
- Speak clearly and loudly – speak into the mic.
- Do not read from your slides. Eye contact is crucial for connecting with your audience.
- Feel free to move around with the wireless mics – it shows energy. Lessen the physical distance between you and your audience.
Presentation format and length
The Monday morning conference sessions will be 120 minutes long. All others will be 90 minutes long. Most sessions will feature three presentations. Few will have four presentations. In 90 minutes sessions with four presentations each must last for 15 minutes at most. All other presentations must be 20 minutes long at most. All sessions will have 30 minutes for Q&A.
Video/ Audio/ Photos usage restrictions
