production risks."
Presenting - Powerpoint Format
Presentations are given using PowerPoint.
Typical presentations are 30 minutes with about 30 slides.
In rare cases you may request to include more slides,
subject to approval. Some presentations are shorter, 20
minutes with a maximum of 20 slides, 10 minutes with 10
slides. In the binder, three slides are printed on a
page. That makes 10 pages. Your notes can be
printed next to the slide at your request.
The first slide is the title slide. It
includes the CatCracking.com logo, event date and location on
the title page. Logos are at the bottom of this page.
Number each slide.
Use high resolution photos. They display and
print better. Do not compress them. Your file will be much
larger and may load slowly, but the clarity of the presentation
and the printing is worth it. If photos are real dark, lighten
them up or request our assistance.
Publishing Technical Paper - Word Format
The seminar binder/resource manual contains
all of the presentations in full color. You may submit
a PowerPoint Presentation or a Technical Paper in Word
document format.
If you submit a PowerPoint file, it will be
printed in the "handouts" pages format with 3 slides per page.
It can include your notes on the side, unless you specify
otherwise. We find that the PowerPoint format is
less useful for reference and sharing after the seminar because
it typically only has bullet points. So we recommend
publishing the technical paper.
For the binder, the Technical Paper format is 11
point Times Roman font, .75" margins on all 4 sides.
Headers/footers are inside the margin and at your discretion. We
recommend you use internal page numbers in the footer, for
example page 3 of 10. We will insert a master page number
for the binder at .5" from the edge of the page. Charts, graphs
and photos that you have permission to use are acceptable and
will be printed in color.
The standard length is 10 pages. If you
need more pages, request an exception which will typically
require additional printing costs, about $45 for each additional
page.
Include the CatCracking.com logo, event date
and location on the title page. Find our logos are at
the bottom of this webpage. We also have EPS, PSD and
AI format files.
Take our stress and yours out of last minute
deadlines and send it in early.
Upload Your Presentation
If your file is smaller than 5MB, email it
to us. If it is larger than 5MB, get instructions for
uploading your presentation.
Remember to
send us your bio.
To encourage participation
Come prepared with at least two “seed questions” which could be asked by
audience colleagues of your choosing. The presenter should select the questions well in advance. When questions are solicited
at the end of the presentation, pause and, if there are no questions, then a colleague should ask the first seed question.
If this doesn’t stimulate additional audience questions then another colleague should ask the second seed question.
