Slide submission:
Once your proposal is selected, speakers will be requested to submit an initial draft of their
slides closer to the conference date. The slide deck needs to follow the below guidelines:
- Not more than 3-5 bullet points on a slide.
- Each bullet point needs to be 5 words or less.
- If not using bullet points, restrict word content to 5 words on each slide
- Not more than 20 slides for the entire talk. The duration of talk is 45 minutes + 10
minutes for questions - Speaker notes section in Powerpoint and Keynote is a very helpful tool. Please use
that space to note down your talking points for each point in the slide instead of
loading up the slide with content. - Images used in the slides need to be appropriate for the conference audience who
tend to be people looking to learn and get inspired. - Humor in slides is encouraged but keep the audience personas in mind.
