Presentation Guidelines:
- First and foremost, HAVE FUN!!
- All presentations must use this PowerPoint template (insert link) or provide an agenda/outline
- Presentations should not exceed the time specified on the final schedule but should allow time for Q/A or a method for submitting questions to the presenter
- All finalized presentations are due no later than September 2nd
- Meet with your department representative to determine timeline for draft and final presentation submissions
- PLEASE NOTE: YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE CHANGES TO YOUR PRESENTATION MATERIAL AFTER SEPTEMBER 13TH. NO EXCEPTIONS!
Presentation Tips
- Start your presentation with a hook. Explain the importance or the outcome you achieved first and then go into detail about how you got there.
- Keep text to a minimum and split long bulleted lists into multiple slides, if possible. If you’d like to include additional detail that doesn’t fit into the slides, you can create supplemental materials that can be link from the Learnapalooza website.
- Because most presentations take place in large rooms, we suggest using a 32pt font (at a minimum). Keep in mind that your text needs to be easy to read by the people in the back of the room.
- Ensure that screenshots do not contain Personal Health Information (PHI)
- Include a slide at the end of your presentation with your contact information
- Work with your department representative to schedule a practice session during the month of September. Make sure that your presentation fits within the time frame you are scheduled for.
Suggestions for Presenters
- Offer a “backstage pass” after the event. A backstage pass is a repeat of your presentation after the event. This can be held in person or presented online. The Learnapalooza Core Team can help you set these up.
- Provide a tip sheet or handouts covering any tips and tricks that your presentation highlights.
