Tips for Presenters

Panel Preparation
The Summit Prep call is designed to help all of our speakers understand how the sessions will run, how to utilize the technology, access their session, and run their session.
 
SCRS strongly requests that session speakers and panelists convene and discuss how their session will flow. It is up to the speakers themselves to arrange this discussion. We request that the facilitator schedule this prep call to develop 2-3 relevant talking points before the presentation.
 
Panelist Role
As the panelist, you will provide your unique perspectives on the topic while engaging the audience to identify solutions.
 
Panel Introductions: When introducing yourself, please share your name, title, company, and briefly explain why you were selected for this session. Given the restricted one-hour timeframe, please ensure efficient time management to accommodate the content adequately.
 
Facilitator Role
As the facilitator, you will introduce yourself, the topic, and the speakers on the panel. Share the goals and set the ground rules at the beginning of the session. Your responsibility will be to participate and manage the conversation and questions to ensure a stimulating conversation between you, the audience, and the panel.
 

Suggestions for Oral Presentations

The goal of Summit breakout sessions is to stimulate conversation among all attendees and arrive at Best Site Practices through solution-oriented discussion.

  • Come prepared with information to dive deep on your topic and have questions ready to pose to the audience.
    • Share the goals and set the ground rules at the beginning of the session:
    • Encourage participation so that all voices are welcomed and heard.
    • Keep discussions constructive and focused on solutions, not grievances.
  • Guide the conversation:
    • Manage the conversation and questions among the speaker(s) and attendees to keep the discussion flowing.
    • Keep the conversation focused on solutions; avoid complaints or negative commentary.
    • Offer your expertise without promoting specific organizations or products.
    • Feel free to interject if the conversation needs to be realigned.
 

Powerpoint Presentations

Presentations are allowed only on an approved basis for plenary sessions only.

Many great sessions do not have presentations but are instead discussions, panels, fireside chats, etc. This determination will be made with the conference organizers and should be made clear as it has its own set of requirements.

If you are a plenary speaker and have been approved to provide a presentation, please see more information below.

Submitting Powerpoint Presentation Content for Approval

We offer contact hour credits for Summit attendees. All content must go through this pre-approval process prior to the session.

This process takes time and passes through many hands before final approval so we can issue the credits attendees seek for their licensure or certifications.

Learning objectives are a critical piece of this review process as they are a requirement from both certifying bodies to have established prior to the live event.

Any presentations need to be submitted at least three weeks in advance of the event.

Please share completed presentations and ANCC Planning Tool to summits@myscrs.org

Powerpoint Presentation Guidelines

Minimize Text: Avoid dense paragraphs and instead use concise bullet points, keywords, or visuals. Attendees cannot read and actively listen at the same time, so reducing words on the slides will help your audience stay fully engaged with what you are saying.

Your slides should complement your spoken content, not replicate it.

When using bullet points, keep them to a minimum (3-4 points per slide) to avoid overwhelming the audience.

Avoid Promotional Content: SCRS offers contact hours for sessions, and promotional or branded content can hinder the ability for attendees to receive contact hours from the session. Avoid adding logos or sharing specific initiatives or programs your organization offers.

Use Presentation Notes: Notes are visible only to speakers and can help guide your presentation without adding text to the slides. Summarize your notes, as you may not be able to see all of your notes if they are long. One solution is to have two of the same slides, with different notes on each one.

Visuals and Graphics: Incorporate images, diagrams, charts, and infographics to illustrate key points. Visuals can help convey complex information more effectively and keep the audience engaged.

Engage with Examples: Use real-world examples, case studies, anecdotes, and scenarios to illustrate your points. This makes the content relatable and practical. Stories are memorable and help your points resonate.

Font and Typography: Ensure text is large enough to be easily read from a distance. Avoid using too many different colors for text.

Practice Delivery: Rehearse your presentation multiple times to ensure smooth delivery. Ensure your presentation fits within the allotted time. This will help you become comfortable with the content and timing.

Engage with the Audience: Pose thought-provoking questions, share anecdotes, or use interactive elements to involve the audience. This keeps them engaged and encourages participation.

Focus on Takeaways and Solutions: Structure your presentation around a central message, key takeaways and calls to action. Have a strong opening and closing statement to frame your discussion.
