You've Been Accepted — Now You Want to Deliver a Killer Presentation.

Here are some tips and tricks to turn your ideas into a memorable story:

• Speak with conviction to your audience, listen to their questions, respond to their reactions, adjust and adapt.
• Follow a logical progression from Introduction to Body to Conclusion.
• Deliver your message with authenticity – use stories and metaphors to increase the impact of your message.
• Consider five focal points – eyes, ears, mouth, hands and feet.
  1. Maintain eye contact
  2. Listen to your audience
  3. Project your voice
  4. Use subtle hand gestures
  5. Move around the room
• A PowerPoint presentation is a visual aid, a presentation does not equate to a PowerPoint deck. PowerPoint decks should:
  • Use large fonts
  • Avoid all caps
  • Avoid busy backgrounds
  • Use a healthy combination of images, words and charts
• Avoid using fillers like “um” and “ah.” Pauses work best in place of fillers.
• Bring life to the presentation, during your session allotment, you are an entertainer.
• We strongly encourage Q&A sessions at the end of your presentation.
• Smile. Have fun. Enthusiasm is contagious.
