Tips for Effective Presentations

N

No Sales Pitches

Conferences are for education and not for promotion. Attendees have paid to learn from your experience and perspective and don’t need to hear about your personal products that are for sale or those of your sponsor. And do not teach a class using a specific software, plug-in, action, etc. unless you are going to provide those tools to your students.

N

Provide Additional Details

There may be various knowledge levels among your students, so if you’re using acronyms or industry terminology please remember to explain them to your class.

N

Get Organized

Submit all required show paperwork and on-site requirements before you arrive in Las Vegas. On-site requests for models, props, etc. cannot be accommodated so please let us know as soon as possible what you will need to create the best educational experience for your students.

N

Timing Is Very Important

We depend on you to begin your class on time. Don’t forget to allow for a question and answer segment either at the end or during the presentation, depending on your style. You should feel comfortable ending the class and if you like, let the students know that you’re available after the class for additional questions.

N

Be Creative

You don’t have to just stand in front of your class and lecture. Allow your students to be participants and keep your content engaging – have fun!

N

No Infomericals

As a speaker, you are welcome to mention your products or sponsor products, but you cannot “hard sell” or push a product throughout the entire session. We’ve had many complaints over the last few years about instructors who have turned their classes into infomercials. This is so important we are covering it twice!
