Content/Sessions Information
When you arrive, please make sure you collect your speaker badge from the registration desk and please make your way to the Keynote Theatre. There will be a hostess and AV technician to assist you with any questions / technical queries. Please do make sure you are in the theatre and ready to go 30 minutes before your session is due to begin.
Panel Sessions
Even though you won't be delivering a formal presentation, it is still essential that you prepare for a panel discussion. The best way to start preparing is to understand your role on the panel and understand the audience.
You would have been invited to join the panel because of a specific perspective you offer, and you should find out a bit about the other panellists (see the programme and speaker page here) so you know how you can add value to the discussion.
The moderator will make contact with you and the other panellists prior to the event to discuss topic and questions that will be covered in your session.
Those speaking on a panel session will not be required to prepare a formal presentations/PowerPoint slides.
Presentations
Presentations should be in 16:9 PowerPoint format (widescreen) and emailed to Lucía García by EOD 12th February. Please let Lucía know as soon as possible if you are unable to meet this deadline.
Please also remember to bring your presentation on memory stick as backup should there be any technical problems on the day.
PowerPoint Tips
- Clear fonts & colour
- Text no smaller than 20pt
- No more than 8 bullet points per slide
- Avoid lots of text on one slide - pictures and diagrams are ideal
- Each slide should normally take one minute of speech
Video Content/AV Equipment
If you are planning to embed video content into your slides, please provide the video files separately to the PowerPoint presentation as we may need to re-embed the file - the AV tech can help with this on the day if needed.
The following equipment will be available:
- Screen
- Laptop
- Remote slide changer
- Lectern
- Handheld & Lapel microphones
If you would like to use your own laptop/Mac, please let Lucía García know as soon as possible. Please ensure you bring the relevant connection cables (i.e. the appropriate VGA adapter for your Mac Model)
