PRESENTATION GUIDELINES
• Each speaker will be allotted 30 minutes’ presentation (25 minutes for presentation and 5 minutes for Q&A).
• All speakers must ONLY use the conference PowerPoint template which will be provided by the conference organizer for their presentations.
• You should not require any more than an absolute maximum of 20 - 25 slides.
• Use high-quality graphics and photos. Keep graphs and tables simple, and make sure they are legible and appropriately labelled
• Don’t overload slides; make sure each has only one message, and the text is written in large enough font to be easily visible
• Do not put too much text on a slide – you want the audience to listen to you and not to be reading your slides.
• All presentations must be submitted in PowerPoint and PDF formats before the allocated deadline. It will be downloaded onto the conference computer ahead of time to facilitate a smooth transition between speakers.
• Bring your presentation on a data stick or other portable memory devices for emergency purposes.
• You will not generally be able to plug your own laptop into the conference projection system. If you require special technology for your presentation, please email maged@selem.ae or roma@selem.ae as soon as you can and we will do our best to help you.
• The sessions are meant to focus on a technical and knowledge based presentations. While it is fine to mention directions and technologies a speaker or their parent organization are building or selling, the sessions are not expected to be used for blatant selling or marketing purposes.
