Presentation Timings
The time that has been allocated to your presentation will be a total of 20 minutes. You should allow 15 minutes for your presentation and five minutes for questions.
Practical details concerning your presentation such as specific presentation times and dates, and other presenters in attendance will be made available from the conference website and you will be notified about your speaking slot time via email when this is published. We strongly encourage all presenters to attend the full two day conference, however if you will only have the availability to present during specific dates or times please let the Events Manager know this as early as possible.
The program is subject to change. Please ensure you visit the Conference website just prior to the event to check for any changes to the program and confirm your presentation time.
Slide Preparation
Slide Preparation
- To ensure the smooth running of sessions, presenters are required to upload their presentation through their presenter portal no later than two weeks prior to the conference.
- The size limit is 5 MB for files. If your file is larger than this, please email your slides to the Events Manager directly, or advise our team that you will be bringing your presentation on USB on the day.
- Presenters are also encouraged to bring a copy of your presentation to the conference on a USB Memory Stick as a back up, in case of any technical difficulties.
- To ensure that your presentation displays correctly at the conference, the slide size needs to be set to Widescreen 16:9.
- Keep it simple. The number of slides for a 20- minute presentation should not exceed 15 slides.
- Limit bullet points and text. Slides are meant to support the narration of the speaker. Too much text will be overwhelming for the audience.
- Choose an appealing, consistent template or theme that is not too busy. You don’t want the background or design to detract from your message.
- Make labels for charts and graphs understandable.
- Choose your fonts well. Please ensure that a standard font is used, and the font size is large enough to be seen from the back of the room.
We recommend 24pt or larger.
Any presenters wishing to use different presentation software such as Keynote or Prezi, are asked to contact the Event Manager in writing prior to the event to check whether this can be accommodated.
