  • Use graphs and charts to illustrate your prominent points. Those will help the audience to clearly understand the content.
  • Make it simple. Too much fancy graphs and charts with huge data and numbers will mess the mind of the audience. Don’t use more flash, gif images, and fancy colors. Otherwise, audience will only remember those effects not your message. Make it simple!
  • Use the 6-6-6 rule: (maximum 6 words per bullet, maximum 6 bullets per slide, and maximum 6 text slides in a row). The fewest words and effective imagery will have the most powerful effect.
  • Use high-contrast, easy-to-read fonts that are common to most computers. Do not use ALL CAPS, italics, and other enhancements that clutter and are distracting. A good guideline is a minimum of 30-point text.

Presenting Effectively

Please follow the below guidelines do your presentation very effectively and these tips will help you to keep the audience interested throughout your presentation.

  • Form a story. Try to tell a story rather than giving too much of information. Organize your thoughts, develop a good transition between slides and give more information
  • Use visual aids. Visual aids Such as slides attract and hold an audience’s attention and help to reinforce what you say as well as helping you keep on track with your presentation. You need to keep these visuals – and your remarks – simple and easy to read and understand.
  • Kick off the start. Start the presentation with some eye-opening facts from your findings. One good way to get their attention is to start with a question.
  • Make the case relevant to the audience. Try to prove your points and findings to the audience. More your presentation relevant to the audience more they will be interested.
  • Reduce your introduction. The session chair will introduce you and save time for important facts.
  • Never read from your slides. Your audience will be reading your slides. Support that with more clarifications.
  • Practice speaking. Practice much as possible. Consider about time. You will only have 15 – 20 min. use it wisely. Use it fully. The more you practice, the more you will be comfortable.
