Conference Proposals & Presentations Help Guide

Creating Your Conference Presentation 

1. Remember your audience and their level of knowledge about the subject. You may need to omit introductory information and vocabulary. 

2. Define the key message that you want your audience to understand. This message should be part of your title. 

3. Create a well-structured presentation using text and visuals. 

1. Keep the size of your text large enough for your audience to read. Use text size 18 or larger for body text. Headers should be larger. 

2. Choose a legible and professional font style. This is not the time to use Curlz or Comic Sans. 

3. Consider color contrast. Ensure your text doesn’t blend in with the background.  

4. Consider using a template. 

5. Use visuals that help your audience understand your topic.  

6. Avoid using images that are not relevant.  

7. Avoid too much information on each slide.  

8. Use slides, graphs, and videos that help audience understanding. 

9. Use accessibility features if possible, such as closed captioning. 

4. Try to make the presentation as interactive as possible. Consider asking questions or using polls. This will help your audience remember your presentation more.
