ICDBSE 2023 PRESENTATION GUIDELINES
-
Each speaker will be given [10] minutes to do the presentation, later followed by a brief Q&A session after each presentation by the audience.
-
The timekeeper will notify the presenter with one bell ringing to indicate that you have 3 minutes left followed by two bells ringing to indicate the time is up.
-
Presenters are expected to recap the presentation after the first bell rings.
-
Use appropriate language, tone, and examples to engage them.
-
Suggest using a font size of at least 36 points for the title and place it at the top of your poster or slide.
-
Use a consistent and readable font throughout your presentation. Suggest choosing a font size in the 24-32 point range for the body text. Use bulleted lists instead of full paragraphs. Use a light background with dark letters. Pick one of the recommended fonts–Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, or Georgia is easy to read and widely available.
-
Organize your presentation into sections that follow a logical flow. For example, you may use an introduction, a literature review, a methodology, a result, a discussion, and a conclusion section. Use headings and subheadings to guide the audience through your presentation.
-
Use visual aids to enhance your presentation. Include images, tables, or charts when possible. Graphics: Use high-resolution images, label all charts and graphs, and include a legend if necessary. Results: In most cases, it is not necessary to include all of your raw data. Show the data analysis that is applicable and briefly describe your results.
-
Avoid using too much text or too many colors in your presentation. Keep it simple and clear. Use contrast, alignment, repetition, and proximity to create visual harmony and balance.
-
Practice your presentation before the conference. Rehearse your speech, time yourself, and get feedback from others. Adjust your presentation as needed to fit the allotted time and improve your delivery.
-
Prepare for questions and comments from the audience. Anticipate possible questions and have answers ready. Be polite and respectful when responding to feedback. Thank the audience for their attention and participation.
