Putting Together Slides
Slides due 1 week prior to the event, @ Noon.
You must have exactly 20 slides, with no audio/video. They will change every 15 seconds.
- Please name your slides: name_title
- Make sure it is in Powerpoint format (.ppt or .pptx)
- You cannot make any changes after the deadline, because we will already have the final deck.
- Your slides will advance automatically after 15 seconds. (We will edit this in.)
- NO NOTES.
- You will have a confidence monitor so that you can see your slides (but it will NOT show your speaker notes).
Tips:
- The best presentations rely on the speaker, not large blocks of text. We recommend lots of images and no more than 3-5 words per slide.
- Practice! You’ll be surprised how fast the time goes. I recommend that you keep talking until your slide transitions.
- No notes on stage. 🙂
- Please watch previous Ignite Seattle talks.
- Check out Scott Berkun’s suggestions as an Ignite Talk or text.
- Practice!
One more thing: The crowd will love you! You’ll be basking in it. 🙂
