Content Focus
- Presentations should focus on solutions implemented to address specific challenges, detailing the implementation process and the resulting impact.
- While acknowledging the initial challenge is important for context, the primary emphasis should be on the how and what of the solution, not just the why of the problem.
Slide Management & Timing
- Keep slides concise. Aim for 1–1.5 minutes per slide.
- Recommended slide counts:
- 20-min: 10–12 slides (max 15)
- 30-min: 15–18 slides (max 22)
- 45-min: 20–25 slides (max 30)
- Conduct internal trial runs to ensure your presentation fits within the allotted time.
- You will be stopped if you exceed the allotted time.
Marketing
- All presentations are limited to one marketing slide at the end of the presentation only.
- Slides will be reviewed and approved with this in mind.
Q&A:
- Dedicated Q&A Time: The speaker must reserve time from their allocation if they would like Q&A at the end of the presentation. Alternatively they can take questions as they go. It is good practise to always repeat the question for benefit of the audience (in case the questioner was not audible).
