Corner
Here you will find several topics that can help you to hone your presentation, including hints on designing your presentation, designing effective visual aids, PowerPoint, presentation guidelines, and general policies. In addition you’ll find Our Top Speaker Tips (below) that can get you on the right track for a stellar presentation. For more information about your specific conference, go to
the home page and choose the Quick
Click titled Upcoming Conferences. Follow If you have questions that are not covered by the information found here, please e-mail to info@kessjones.com or call 505.266.0552. We’re here to help! Our Top 1. Review and submit paperwork as requested to the conference office
by the deadline date indicated. We
take pride in the fact that we provide all of the logistical information for
you in advance of the conference to help you prepare appropriately for your
presentation. The paperwork we request is to ensure that 1) your contact
information is correct, 2) that we have the required information in order to
apply for CEUs 3) that we can be sure have the correct equipment on site for
your presentation. 2. Make sure your presentation description matches your presentation.
A top attendee complaint is that the brochure did not accurately reflect the
session content, and they found themselves in a workshop that didn’t meet
their needs. 3. Arrive early! Give yourself ample time to relax, get situated,
prepare your AV and go to the restroom. If you want to come very early to
review your presentation on a large screen or test equipment, just notify the
conference office. 4. Don’t read to attendees!
Our number one attendee complaint about presentations is that
presenters read their material or overheads to them. 5. Don’t overdo your AV.
Another top complaint from attendees is not being able to read
overheads or PowerPoint because the type was too small or the graph was
unreadable. For guidance, visit Designing
Effective Audio Visual Aids or Designing
Dynamic PowerPoint Presentations. 6. Take time to identify the most appropriate handouts to enhance
your presentation and to serve as a valuable resource to attendees. Please
make sure you submit a CLEAN copy to the conference office. Handouts too are
a reflection of you and your organization. 7. Allow time for questions/discussion. Attendees want the
opportunity to interact with you and the other attendees. Make the time as part
of your presentation. Ask an attendee
to help track questions during the presentation that may arise and answer at
the end if it will affect the flow of your presentation.
