Presentation Guidelines
  • Presentations are to be non-commercial
  • We do not have a PowerPoint template; feel free to use your own
  • Avoid too much content on one slide, as attendee feedback has voiced negative comments with regard to this

back to top

Day of Presentation Bring your laptop computer, as laptops are not provided in the session rooms. We suggest loading all presentations on one laptop for easy transition from one speaker to the next.

Session Format
  • Chairperson to give introductory comments for approximately 5-10 minutes
  • Speakers presentations should be around 10-15 minutes depending on the amount of speakers
  • Reserve 10-15 minutes for Q&A at end of session, as strong feedback has shown this provides great value to attendees
