Research conference presentation slide template + 3 design tips

Imagine this: research conference organizers send the participants a PowerPoint presentation slide template along with instructions that sound something like this:

Your presentation should be 20 minutes long; please keep the number of presentation slides to a maximum of 20.

A scientist who has 35 PowerPoint slides from the previous conference and might think:

OK, no problem! I will simply squeeze the information from the remaining fifteen slides into the first twenty to fit the provided presentation template.

The resulting presentation slides probably look similar to the figure below.

The scientist arrives at the conference, delivers the presentation, and receives applause at the end. He puts a picture from the conference on a social network and receives a comment: Sorry, I missed your presentation. Please email me the slides.

Ahh, he thinks , it’s a good thing I jammed that extra information into the presentation slides. Otherwise, it would be difficult for the person asking to get the full overview of my work!

It seems everyone is happy. The conference organizers got their 20 slides, the presenter successfully delivered his speech, and even the person on social media got the information she requested. But one thing is missing from the story – what about the people who actually showed up for the presentation?

The listeners were probably bewildered by the PowerPoint slides resembling an explosion of a hard drive disc over the screen. Their eyes were darting to follow the laser pointer from a figure in one corner of the slide to bullet points in the other. At around the third slide, many probably started daydreaming about the appetizers they can expect during the coffee break. They energetically clapped their hands at the end of the presentation because it was finally over. They forgot the performance as soon as the next speaker took the stage.

OK, but what about the person that asked you to send her the slides? Surely she would be disappointed when receiving a presentation which she cannot understand without you being there to present it. Well, send her the research paper (see my book to learn writing an impactful research paper). This is the piece of work that is meant for sharing and has to be self-explanatory. You are on the stage for a reason! Research conference presentation slides do not have to be self-explanatory.

In this post, you will learn three crucial tips for preparing scientific conference presentation slides to efficiently explain your research.

Tip No.1: One thought per slide

Presenters often use slides to keep the talk on track. Frequently this takes the form of the dreaded bullet-point list. Such an approach is a bad idea. Despite what some people claim, humans can not multitask at things that require deliberate thinking. Too much text will draw the listener’s attention away from what you are saying and toward reading the text on the slide. Since we read faster than we can speak, your listeners will already know what you are going to say, thus losing their attention.

The best approach for keeping the presentation slides light is to limit yourself to one single thought per slide. This could be, for example, a figure and several supporting bullet points taking up not more than one row each. But do not be afraid only to have one item, like a diagram, on the slide which takes only ten seconds to explain. There is no invisible jar that will start to spill over if you pour too many slides inside. A single thought per slide will allow the audience to better follow the presentation. This will also allow you to increase the size of text and images, thus ensuring that people in the back row can follow the talk.

Instead of using presentation slides as a teleprompter, use this valuable real estate for information that adds to your presentation, not duplicates it.

The “before” figure below presents a typical academic conference PowerPint presentation slide with three bullet points. I transformed it into three separate slides, each introducing one single thought. When displaying the “after” slides, the presenter would simply say out loud the information that was previously written.

You will notice that each of the converted slides uses visual information instead of text. Visuals draw human attention and can do a great job explaining things that would be difficult to put into words. Data charts, scientific illustrations, diagrams, or videos can all add another dimension to complement your presentation.

I am not claiming that you should strip your presentation slides of useful information or dumb them down. My reasoning stems from the vast majority of presentation slides that I have seen in research conferences. The slides are often overwhelmed with details that do more to confuse the listener than help. Focusing the slide content on visual information will help to support instead of distracting from your message. This brings us to the next topic.

Tip No.2: Presentation slides are for visual information

Even though I urge you to simplify the slides, it is clear that as a researcher, you will need to present complex information. This will most often take the form of different charts and illustrations (let’s call them graphics).

There is a lot to learn about the creation of graphics, but one element from the toolkit of designing graphics is particularly important for creating great scientific conference presentation slides. That is knowing how to guide the listeners’ attention. To do it, we must tap into a basic human instinct – people are drawn to outliers. Back at the dawn of homo-sapiens, this helped us spot danger or notice prey: think of a lion moving in a steppe – it is easy to imagine why our vision has evolved to pay attention to it.

Today we can take advantage of the 300 thousand-year-old instincts of our species to explain the all-important differences between two lines in a graph. Color, size, motion, white space, enclosure, and shape are some graphical features that can attract attention to particular elements in a chart.

Learn creating charts that tell a story

Knowing how to prepare efficient data charts and graphics will not only help you to create better slides; you will be able to use these skills to write clearer research papers and certainly it will increase your chances of obtaining research grants. My book Research Data Visualization and Scientific Graphics is a short guide that will help you to learn create charts that tell a story.

The example below directs the attention of the viewers within a single chart to the different topics that are being discussed (data from Evans et al. ). These could be presented in sequential slides.

The “Only 60 harvests ” left claims are exaggerated. Research by Evans et al. shows that depending on the soil management, only 7-34% of soils have less than 100 year lifespan.

Even most bare soils survive upwards of 300 years.

A good management practice can extend the soil’s life by several orders of magnitude.

A word of caution for those who might become too trigger-happy when discovering how easy it is to add animations to PowerPoint presentation slides: use these effects only when they add information to the story that you are telling. It quickly becomes irritating to see flying text, rotating slide transitions, expanding bullet points, and dissolving pictures. Revealing only one item at a time can be similarly annoying when done without a purpose.

Hint: Avoid using PowerPoint templates with busy backgrounds or colorful university logos on each slide. This limits your ability to draw the listeners’ attention to a particular item on the slide. On a busy background, the highlighted parts will not pop out quite as much as they would from a simple background.

Tip No.3: Use action titles

Instinctively we can probably agree that the most important information, regardless of the type of medium, should be the largest. For example, it would be weird if the largest letters on a milk bottle would rea “Recyclable”. Interestingly, almost none of us actually follow this logic when designing scientific conference presentation slides.

If you open PowerPoint, by default the largest text is the slide title. Since it is also located at the top of the slide, the title is going to be the first thing that draws the listener’s attention. But what do we put up there? Redundant, meaningless phrases like Methodology or Results of XYZ test . The figure below provides one such example.

The traditional PowerPoint title attracts all the attention while providing very little information.

You will probably agree that the tile Global temperature prediction does little to reveal what’s important about the information in the presentation slide. That is unless the listener has suddenly awoken from a nap and wants to understand what is the topic you are currently discussing. If this is the case, slide titles are the least of your problems.

Instead of wasting the title for redundant information, a much better idea is to follow the advice from the C.N.Knaflic’s book Storytelling with Data in using an action title . An action title should provide information about the results, highlight an important observation or a conclusion for the particular slide. For example, instead of a whole block of slides having the title Results , the individual slide titles would say Observations have high variability or Simulation supports the test results .

In other words, a conference slide title should present something important about the research that the audience should not miss. It sets the expectations for what to expect from the information on the slide.

See below the different ways in which an action title can be displayed in the presentation slides. Doesn’t this approach offer more information than the traditional PowerPoint slide title that we saw earlier?

An action title highlights the key information that the listeners should not miss

Placing the action title at the bottom (and graying it out) is another option, giving more emphasis to the slide content.    

The widescreen (16:9) slide size can be put to good use by dividing it into two columns: one for visual information, the other for key text.

Removing the title altogether allows increasing the size of the graphics. The presenter tells all the information that was previously written in the slide title.

Font size rule of thumb : Make sure that the listeners in the back rows can read your slides comfortably. Since you will rarely have the chance to test this, apply the rule of thumb by using 14 to 28 pt. font size for the main text and in charts. References and other background information could be smaller and grayed out to avoid distracting from the main content.  

A free scientific conference presentation slide template

Now that we have reviewed three key principles of academic conference presentation slide design, use them to prepare your own slides. An even better way is to prepare a PowerPoint slide template that automatically incorporates many of these tips.

Below you will find a free PowerPoint template that I designed specifically for scientific conference presentations. It holds six preformatted slide layouts which by default follow many of the academic conference slide design tips that we just went through, including the use of action titles, focus on visual information, and large enough font size. The presentation template also holds the three design tips to serve as a reminder from this post.

Great slides will not mask poor presentation skills

Creating great presentation slides is certainly important in order to make a memorable academic presentation. But no amount of slide polishing will mask other potential problems, including lack of substance, unclear presentation structure, and a presenter who is so stressed their mouth feels like a desert.

What you need is to add presentation skills to your scientific skill tool belt. My name is Martins Zaumanis and with my online course “Scientific Presentations Masterclass” I will show you how to become a masterful presenter using a system that I developed, called the “ Five S presenting pyramid ”. 

Learn to give powerful academic presentations and overcome stage fright using the Five-S pyramid.

The Five-S pyramid starts from the basics of putting together the presentation  Substance  (first S), advances to devising a presentation  Structure  (second S), shows how to put up a  Show  (third S), tell memorable  Stories  (fourth S), and finally, it will offer advice for how the  Speaker  (fifth S) can work on improving presentation skills, including dealing with stage fright.

How to make PPT for international conference

“I have absolutely no time !! My paper got selected for one of the upcoming International conferences. I really do not know How to make PPT for international conference ”.  This is the most common situation for most scholars, researchers, and students when they are preparing to attain one International conference, a National Conference, or any webinar.

If you are facing this situation then you are in the right place to get all the details. We will guide you step by step if you’re preparing for your first conference or even if you have experienced several conferences.

How to make PPT for international conference ?

In this article, we will guide you in the right ways to make the PPTs in absolutely simple steps and will also tell you, what are the things you should not do or include while making your ppts and presenting them.

Why PPTs are important for the conference?

Before explaining all the steps let us understand, what is the importance of the PPTs in the conference.

In an international conference, you need to explain your research paper to the audience and the experts present in the Chair or Session Chair.

The best way to explain your idea is to present a PPT where the purpose of the study, literature survey, research process involved, data collection and processing,  sources of data, conclusions, and references get explained in detail.

What to do before making the PPT?

• Complete writing your research paper for publication in the proper format according to the organizer’s paper format.
• Before making the PPTs you need to collect all the figures and tables in one place.
• Get all the permission or NOC of any copyrighted content if you are going to use it in the presentation.
• Re-check all the facts and figures and their labels.

Steps to make PPT for international conference.

Step-1: choose a  good theme for the powerpoint presentation.

A good theme always catches the attention of the audience. The theme should be white in the background and try not to use any fancy background.

You can choose the existing theme from MS Powerpoint or browse on the internet.

Step-2: Make a sequence of slides

The sequence of the presentation slide is also an important factor for any presentation.

As a presenter, you must emphasize the sequence as follows

• The first slide must contain an introduction of the subject and the author’s details(name, designation, department of study, college or institution’s name) (Number of slides must be 1)
• The second slide must contain the introduction of the study and the purpose of the paper. (Number of slides must be 1 to 2)
• The next slide must contain the history of the subject or literature survey. (Number of slides must be 1 to 2)
• You must put the proposed model and procedure of the study/data collection if any in the next couple of slides (Number of slides must be 2 to 4)
• Study result slides: you can showcase your research finding and your contribution in the next couple of slides. (Number of slides must be 2 to 3)
• Conclusion slide: This must be after the study result slide. (Number of slides must be 1)
• Future studies and drawbacks of this study must be included after the conclusion slide. (Number of slides must be 1)
• References and acknowledgment slide must be included at the last.  (Number of slides must be 1)
• Thank you slide.  (Number of slides must be 1)

So these are the sequence of the slides and most of the reputed organizations follow this sequence.

Step-3: Emphasize on Data visualization

As a presenter, you might have all the understanding of the data you have presented in the table but while presenting you must convert these data into the chart or visualization format to make it easier for the listeners.

You can choose the various chart format to represent the date like Bar chart, column, pie, bar, Doughnut, Bubble, radar, etc. to represent the data.

Step-4: Use the proper format and source

While presenting you must choose the images, reports, tables/data, etc from credible sources like other journal reports from reputed agencies.

If you are quoting a report published in any newspaper or any opinion of any person, then you must check the originality of the content. Because sometimes the newspapers may publish the first phase information of the news without investing the actual fact.

You can’t miss:  Presenting at a conference for the first time 5 must things to do

Step-5: Use simple words and maintain clear visibility

While creating the PPT for the presentation you must use a simple form of the word which is easily understandable to others.

Maintain clear visibility and maintain proper space between lines. Sometimes the presenters copy all the information as written on paper and put it into the presentation slide which you should not do.

Step-6: Add conclusion, Thank you message and open for Q&A

In the end, you must include the References and conclusion of the presentation.

The listeners and the session chair may ask a few questions about the presentation and research to clear their doubts.

So always prepare for the Q&A after the presentation.

how to give the perfect presentation

Step-by-step – presenting internationally, do's & don'ts when presenting to cross-cultural audiences, strategies for native english speakers.

For native English speakers, making a presentation overseas or to an international audience presents some special cross-cultural challenges. Taking the dos and don’ts below into account will ensure that your message is communicated effectively, without embarrassing, insulting, or offending the diverse members of your audience.

1. Speak Clearly

This means enunciating clearly so that people can hear and understand each word you are saying. Don’t mumble, slur your speech, or speak super fast when addressing a crowd whose native language is not English.

2. Speak Slowly

Help your listeners by slowing down. Give them time to catch your words and digest the meaning. Use verbal and non-verbal clues to gauge whether you are being understood. If people ask you to repeat what you have said, look puzzled, or respond inappropriately, most likely they have not understood you. Repeat your idea slowly in the same or different words. If all else fails, write it down.

3. Triangulate your main ideas

This technique involves expressing the same idea three times in slightly different ways. It gives your listeners three chances to catch what you are saying. For example:

4. Use meaningful tempo and intonation

By changing the tone of your voice, varying the tempo, and placing stress on areas you would like to emphasize, you provide added clues to help your listener grasp your message.

5. Provide signposts along the way

Signposts prepare your listeners in advance by informing them about the planned direction of your discussion or presentation, as well as any changes along the way. For example:

“Today I’ll be speaking about three areas: the market for our products in Canada, our new marketing strategy, and the timeline for implementation of this project.”

“Now that we’ve completed this section, let’s turn our attention to…”

6. Use verification loops

In inter-cultural communication, especially, it is valuable to keep checking whether your listeners are following along with your argument. This can be done by asking:

• “Do you have any questions?”
• “Is everything clear till now?”
• “Would you like me to elaborate?”

In this way, listeners have the opportunity to clarify confusion or misunderstanding at an earlier stage.

7. Say numbers and dates slowly

Numbers are often expressed in different ways in different parts of the world, so exercise special care when saying numbers, which are such a critical part of doing business. These include phone numbers, prices, quotations, dates, flight numbers, exchange rates, zip codes, addresses, and so on. For example:

• $1500 can be expressed as fifteen hundred or one thousand five hundred.
• 16 can sound like sixty so you should repeat, “That’s sixteen – one six.” (The same is true for all “teen” numbers.)
• December 20th can sound like December 28th.
• In India, the terms lakh (representing 100,000) and crore (10,000,000) are used and must be clarified.

8. Write down unfamiliar names or technical terms

Unfamiliar or unknown names and terms are best shown written down on a slide or handout. Repeated use of a term that others don’t know or cannot understand is annoying and thoughtless.

9. Double and triple check time arrangements

Confirm any arrangements related to time or dates. One possible approach is to pretend you’ve forgotten, flip through your papers and say, “So we’re meeting at / on …” and see what the other person has to say.

10. Be careful using English words from other languages

Remember that English is a mongrel language and has adopted words from other languages. Beware that sometimes these adopted words have different meanings or shades of meaning in other languages.

11. Be sincere

By showing genuine sincerity and interest in building a good relationship, a positive atmosphere is created which makes it easier to do business. When both sides assume such goodwill, many potential hurdles can be overcome.

12. Keep a sense of humor

Even with the best of intentions, cultural mistakes may be made from both sides. The best advice is to be relaxed, keep a sense of humor and appreciate the cooperative efforts being made by all sides.

WHAT NOT TO DO

1. avoid slang.

Unless the listeners have lived in your country for a long time, avoid slang. Also be aware that slang changes and the listener may not know the current meaning.

When a recently graduated Canadian student went to teach English in Japan, she learned this the hard way. During her class, one of the students told a particularly amusing anecdote, which the teacher enjoyed very much. Unfortunately, the teacher expressed her enthusiasm by laughing and exclaiming, “Shuuuut uuuuup!” in the lilting tone of voice, characteristic of some North Americans when they hear something they like. The student shifted in his chair, looked awkward and said no more. Later in the same lesson, when the student made another interesting observation, the teacher responded enthusiastically once again by saying, “Gettttt ouuuuut!”, at which the poor young student, red-faced and confused, packed up his belongings, got up and walked out the door, never to return. Slang can be disastrous.

2. Avoid contractions

Contractions may blur the sound of words and make it more difficult to understand you. In some cases, they can lead to direct confusion – as when someone says ‘can’ or ‘can’t’ too quickly. In this case it is better to use ‘can’ and ‘cannot’.

3. Avoid idioms

Using idioms is one of the most common ways of crippling communication with non-native English speakers. These expressions and colloquialisms confuse and confound; avoid them in the interest of greater clarity. Just imagine how these expressions sound to the uninitiated:

• to strike out
• to call in sick
• To be in the black
• to jump the gun
• to blow one’s top
• To do lunch
• to give the cold shoulder
• to have a soft corner

4. Avoid double-negatives

This convoluted way of speaking, which may be followed by native speakers, is very hard on non-natives. Spare them the trouble by speaking more directly. For example, instead of saying “I’m not saying it’s impossible…”, just say “ It’s possible…”

5. Avoid understatement

This style of speaking is culturally sensitive and may be misunderstood in intercultural situations. For example, if you state that you’re an okay graphic designer, when in fact you’re very talented, you might be taken at your word.

6. Avoid sarcasm and irony

This is another area in which backstage cultural information is required to interpret the message. Don’t make sarcastic comments about yourself or others. Get your message across in more direct terms.

7. Don’t use curse words

Especially when used outside one’s own culture, curse words often signal disrespect and may damage business relationships. The best policy is to avoid all language that could be offensive.

8. Be careful about humor

Humor is one of the most culturally sensitive forms of communication and doesn’t usually work well in cross-cultural situations. The jokes that you consider funny may be viewed as crude or rude by others. In addition, humor is based on an in-depth understanding of a cultural mindset.

9. Don’t speak loudly

Speak at normal volume. Your foreign listeners are not hard of hearing or deaf. This is not the issue.

10. Don’t assume anything!

This includes: don’t assume the person doesn’t speak English well and don’t assume the person doesn’t know your native language. Many people have studied and traveled widely today and have lived in many different countries. Don’t be caught in an embarrassing situation because of incorrect assumptions.

Top 10 Conference Agenda Templates with Examples Samples

Conferences have been held since time immemorial to address issues concerning general masses.

FAQs on Conference Agenda Templates

What is meant by a conference.

A conference is a meeting of individuals with a common professional or academic interest, typically for exchanging ideas, discussing and resolving issues, making decisions, and establishing or maintaining contacts. Conferences can be held in person or virtually and can range in size from small, informal gatherings to large, international events with thousands of participants.

How is a conference different from an All-hands?

A conference and an all-hands meeting are two different types of events, typically used for different purposes.

A conference is a gathering of individuals from different organizations or industries, typically to discuss a specific topic or share knowledge and ideas. Conferences often include keynote speeches, panel discussions, and networking opportunities.

An all-hands meeting is a company-wide gathering of employees, typically used to share company updates, goals, and progress. All-hands meetings often include presentations from senior leaders and interactive sessions for employees to ask questions and provide feedback.

While conferences are more focused on networking and knowledge sharing with external individuals, all-hands meetings focus on internal communication and building company culture within an organization.

How long does a conference run?

The length of a conference can vary, depending on its purpose and size. Some conferences may last only a few hours, while others can run for several days. Larger international conferences can last a week or more. The exact duration of a conference will depend on its agenda, which outlines the topics to be covered and the schedule of events. Here are some categories of conferences based on their duration:

• One-day conferences: Industry Summit, Executive Forum
• Two-day conferences: Marketing Summit, Leadership Conference
• Th ree-day conferences: Global Entrepreneurship Summit, Human Resources Conference
• Multi-day conferences (4-7 days): International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), World Economic Forum
• Week-long conferences: Summer Research Conference, International Conference on Artificial Intelligence
• Month-long conferences: International Festival of Arts and Ideas, Edinburgh International Festival.

What is a conference agenda?

An agenda is a detailed plan or schedule of activities, events, and discussions that will take place during a conference. It outlines the topics to be covered, the order in which they will be discussed, the speakers who will present, and the times at which each event will occur. The agenda serves as a roadmap for the conference and helps participants understand what they can expect to happen and when. An effective agenda ensures that the conference runs smoothly and that all participants have a clear understanding of the schedule and their role in the events.

How do you write a conference agenda?

In order to write a detailed conference agenda, make sure to incorporate the following features:

• Define the purpose and theme of the conference.
• Determine the length and format of the conference (e.g. half-day, full-day, multi-day).
• Identify keynote speakers and sessions to be included.
• Allocate time slots for each session, including breaks and networking opportunities.
• Provide detailed information for each session, including speaker names, titles, and descriptions.
• Consider including interactive elements, such as panels, roundtables, and workshops.
• Make sure to allow for sufficient time for Q&A.
• Provide a clear and concise schedule for attendees, including start and end times for each session.
• Review and revise the agenda as needed 

What is a conference itinerary?

A conference itinerary is a schedule or plan that outlines the events and activities for a conference. It typically includes:

• Start and end times of the conference
• Locations of all events and activities
• Names and descriptions of keynote speakers, sessions, and workshops
• Time slots for meals, breaks, and networking opportunities
• Contact information for conference organizers and attendees
• Other important details, such as transportation arrangements, hotel information, and local attractions.
• The conference itinerary serves as a guide for attendees to help them plan their time effectively and make the most of the conference experience.

The opportunity to deliver a professional presentation to an international audience is a privilege. As with all other presentations, preparation and planning are essential components for a successful outcome. The difference between a diverse international audience and a homogeneous audience of the same background as the speaker requires consideration of additional factors associated with relevant delivery of the content matter. Recognition and integration of cultural differences, language barriers, and delivery expectations are critical to the creation and conveyance of one's presentation.

This article will share advice for preparing for and delivering presentations to an international audience.

Factors to consider when preparing a platform-style presentation include knowing the cultural background of audience members, the speed and tone of one's delivery, the appearance of slides, the use of hand gestures, and the integration of appropriate terminology. The process of speaking through an interpreter and additional methods that have been proven to be effective in the delivery of an international presentation will also be identified.

One can never have enough experience, as each presentation to a diverse international audience may be vastly different.

Professional presentations for international audiences may require slightly different preparation.

Presentation delivery to an international audience should consider cultural differences.

Language and verbiage of presentation should be reviewed for audience comprehension.

Successful speaking in front of an audience whose native culture and/or language are different from one's own should never be taken for granted, regardless of experience and past performances. Even the most seasoned presenters must prepare to effectively deliver a presentation to an international audience. It is said that public speaking to participants who speak different languages tends to shift one's focus toward the audience and away from the content itself. 1  

It is assumed that the majority of readers of this Journal practice athletic training in the United States; therefore, it is worthy of note that presentations given in the United States may not be perceived in the same way when offered to other cultures. Speaking to an international audience can be mastered with appropriate preparation using some simple methods that can be applied as a starting point for a presenter. The intent of this manuscript is to provide practical advice for mastering professional presentations to culturally diverse, international audiences based upon our experiences and anecdotal evidence that colleagues have shared from their international exchanges.

The process of preparing depends upon whether the presentation was submitted as a proposal or if the speaker was invited. As an invited speaker, it is quite possible that one possesses past, perhaps even vast, experience giving professional presentations, and simply needs to learn to prepare for a presentation in front of the specifically invited international audience. If the presentation is being proposed, there are more specific recommended steps one should take in order to strengthen the proposal.

Many are familiar with standard presentation proposals for conferences held in the United States, including conferences that may very well be composed of international attendees. The format for proposal submission is typically limited to a determined number of words or characters written in third-person format, with accompanying objectives (written in accordance with the Bloom taxonomy) and key words. Conferences held within the United States typically follow a traditional submission format very similar to that described here.

It is not uncommon for conferences (or “Congresses”) held outside of the United States to entertain a different style of proposal format. For example, may prefer a first-person narrative format with more of a storytelling approach as compared with a traditional “subtitled” research abstract proposal. For this reason, it is most helpful to research successful proposals from previous years before submitting a proposal, rather than submitting one without knowledge of the preferred writing style. Different privacy and confidentiality laws and philosophies may also apply. A case report or case series, for example, may include personally revealing information within an abstract that would otherwise be unacceptable for meetings held in the United States. In general, a traditional abstract would not disclose the patient's identity, whereas one might find it acceptable internationally to provide a patient's name, as the patient's level of popularity may bring greater interest to the case.

It is very helpful to know terminology commonly used in other countries. For example, one simple yet commonly interchanged word in the sports medicine world is soccer . In many countries outside of the United States, soccer is referred to as futbol , whereas what is typically referred to as football in the United States is called American football . Although it is not necessarily wrong to use the term soccer when drafting a proposal for an international conference, the use of terms most familiar to potential reviewers may make a stronger connection and result in a more favorable impression.

Once a proposal is accepted, one should learn about the venue, the host country, and the likely background of the participating audience. It may not always be possible to learn the details of a room arrangement, but regardless of where one is speaking, it is always helpful to have a sense of the setup. How is the podium arranged in relation to the location of the projection screen? What is the overall size of the room, and how many attendees should you anticipate in your session? Most specifically, know the length of time for the presentation, as international conferences typically adhere to strict limits of time with moderators instructed to maintain an on-time schedule. 2  

A presentation audience in a foreign country may be composed mostly of that country's inhabitants, or it may be more diverse and include numerous participants from different countries, speaking different languages. Be sure to learn the declared official language for the conference ahead of time. In a host country that is offering a course promoted primarily within its borders, it is likely that country's official language will be the official language of the conference. A conference that is promoted for an international audience will most likely use English as the official language of the conference, though it will still require preparation of the presentation for a diverse international audience. It is recommended that, when speaking to a global audience, a speaker “removes any self-ethnocentric judgments and engages audiences with a completely open, tolerant, sensitive, and respectful manner.” 3  

When preparing, consider how best to address the needs of the international audience. How commonplace and recognizable is the topic? Is it something that the audience would be very familiar with? Or is it a topic that is unique to the presenter's line of research? Keep these questions in mind during the development of the slides. A stellar presentation may be poorly received if the knowledge level of audience members is inadequate to connect the presentation to their research interest or area of clinical practice. It is important to consider the research and practice culture of the audience. For example, if a topic is addressed that includes reimbursement for patient care, the information may not be understandable to audience members who work in a different health care system and structure.

For a platform presentation, it is likely that some form of audiovisual aid will be used. It is always best to keep things simple and think conservative, using dark background colors and a bright (white or yellow) font color. 2   Unusual background graphics are not encouraged, as they merely serve to make it more of a challenge for non–English-speaking participants to read the text. In some Latin American countries, the color yellow has a strong negative connotation, although typically a bright yellow font text on a dark blue background is usually pleasing to one's eyes. 4   It is recommended to keep the title of the presentation short and use clear and concise objectives. It is best to limit bulleted slides to no more than 3 lines. With English as a second language, it may take individuals longer to process the definitions of the words and the entire context of each statement. It is also helpful to use larger fonts that are more easily seen, especially in a large room. Individuals with an interest in the content, and especially those who are not able to keep up with the speed of the presentation as a result of the difficulty in language interpretation, will often take photos of each slide.

Therefore, carefully scanning the presentation ahead of time for words and terms that potentially may be confusing can be helpful to the audience. 5   Similarly, pay careful attention to all words and phrases that may not be standard to the profession, as they may have a different meaning in a different language or culture. For example, something like “ETA” (estimated time of arrival) or “DIY” (do it yourself) may not be understood at all in an audience that doesn't speak native English. There are many examples of commonly used phrases that would likely not be clearly understood in another country ( Table ).

Examples of Phrases that Have Different Meanings in Different Languages

Images, graphs, and tables are of interest to participants who capture data on their cell phones and iPads. 2   Images should be clear and of high quality, particularly if the table or graph is not original and has been borrowed from another source. The International System of Units, which is derived from the metric system, should be reviewed when presenting measurement data. Not only will this assure the delivery of information in the most accepted format, but the American speaker can use this opportunity to foster greater proficiency with the metric system; this can serve as a wonderful learning opportunity to enhance one's global knowledge. When an image, graph, or table is shown, participants are focusing cameras to capture it, and are less likely to listen to what is simultaneously being spoken. Pausing briefly allows for time for participants to capture the image and not lose the meaning behind the message. 4  

Participants may also want to communicate with a presenter after a presentation, especially if any visuals were not captured successfully or content not understood. It is helpful for the presenter to include contact information on a closing slide. Doing so may also expand the presenter's future networking and international speaking opportunities through newly established professional relationships.

The delivery of the presentation incorporates many different components that lead toward a successful outcome. A critical component of preparation is to not underestimate the amount of time needed to prepare for the unique nuances of an international audience.

Consider the words and phrases that are expressed in the presentation. Avoid using complicated words that the audience may not understand. Keep in mind that certain words pronounced in the English language do not coincide with how they may phonetically appear on a slide. This may confuse a participant who needs additional time to understand the meaning of a single word. This added time may lead to a lost opportunity to understand an entire concept.

Speaking slowly, clearly, and with complete sentences that avoid the use of American slang will make the presentation much easier for an international audience to process. Even properly pronounced words can lead to confusion. It can be helpful to express a familiarity with a country, region, or professional culture during a presentation. Reading the local news of a region online may provide tips related to current events. Learning about such events can offer insight as to topics that one may want to avoid as part of an opening or closing line. Topics that may be viewed as controversial or inappropriate may include politics, human rights, or other aspects of the culture that differ from one's own. Or perhaps learning about local events may provide for an opportunity to better connect with the audience. 5 , 6   For example, major sports events, the weather, or other similar connections between cultures could serve to comfortably relax a speaker and make a fairly simple connection with the audience during formal presentations and informal conversations alike.

One decision to make is whether or not to use a slide as a self-introduction to the audience. This can serve as an icebreaker and perhaps make a stronger connection between the presenter and the members of the audience. 2   Examples of this might include showing a map of the presenter's hometown, photos of one's workplace setting, or a photo of the collective research team. Participants may enjoy this and gain a better feel for the presenter's background and geographical home. If this approach is chosen, considering a limitation for the time spent on an icebreaker would be prudent so that it does not take away from the focus of the content.

For a public speaker, an effective delivery technique involves inserting axioms and slang-type phrases that are commonly known to members of the audience. 7   When one is speaking to audiences from different countries who speak different languages, such phrases may not have relevance or meaning. For example, the phonetic pronunciation of “ASAP” (A-Sap) with the intentions of saying “as soon as possible” may be unclear to members of the audience. Axioms frequently relate to sports-related phrases, such as “this is a home run” or that method “struck out.” These 2 examples come from the sport of baseball, which is not played nor understood in all countries. Trying to explain either term to someone who does not understand the sport of baseball may be a challenge. Aside from phrases associated with sports, there are other terms, such as “jump the gun” or “give the cold shoulder,” that serve as examples of potential communication gaps during an international presentation.

Speakers often have a habit of including nervous word fillers, such as “um,” “you know,” or others. Avoiding the inclusion of word fillers provides for clearer pronunciation, as the additional sounds create more work from a processing perspective and can distract from the overall comprehension of the intended content.

In general, a speaker's tone, phonetic pronunciation, and pace of delivery should be such that all members of the audience can successfully comprehend the meaning of the content. 8   Potgieter 7   suggests presenting information at between third- and fifth-grade levels of comprehension.

Speakers have a tendency to use bullet points on a slide to prompt one to refer to a larger context of information. The rationale for using bullets is not to read word for word from a slide, but rather to have a few key words that trigger a presenter to further describe a key point. With an international audience, it is actually better to simply read what is on the slide, and not speak to a different phrase or word usage while the audience is reading the slide text. To better appreciate this concept, one can imagine oneself in a similar situation, trying to understand what someone is saying in a foreign language while the slides say something different. There is a temptation on the part of a speaker who possesses greater knowledge on a subject matter to ad-lib beyond the shown slide. This approach to information sharing is discouraged. A more simplistic delivery that allows for greater comprehension of the textual information that is enhanced with matching verbal pronunciation is a better approach. Strategic pauses are also advantageous, allowing for increased time for participants to read, listen, and process the information.

Experienced presenters also like to use openers or closers as part of a presentation to entertain or engage an audience. Although these tactics have a time and a place, including them in a presentation to an international audience can be risky if they are not perceived to be appropriate or understandable. In particular, jokes should be kept to a minimum—or should not be used at all. 3   It is quite possible that a joke may not be understood. This could happen for many reasons, ranging from an inability to interpret the meaning of the joke to a cultural humor that one is unable to relate to. The response to humor is different for different cultures. In the worst-case scenario, a joke may be perceived as being offensive. When choosing to incorporate humor, it is recommended to test it first with a similar audience. Doing so with a positive reception still does not guarantee that the joke will go over as planned. Equally important, if the presentation is of a shorter length, presenters will not want to use their limited time on an opening or closing attempt at humor. There are exceptions, but they should be used with caution. For example, in Australia, humor is very much appreciated in presentations. One should still be absolutely certain that an attempt at humor would be perceived well. The differences in cultural humor may not be understood. Also, in some rare cases, some speakers at conferences use less-than-appropriate terms and forms of humor compared with what would be considered highly offensive in the United States. If the goal is to perform well and receive future international speaking engagements, using humor is not a recommended technique for a novice international presenter.

Another temptation of a speaker presenting in a foreign country is to get cutesy and use foreign-language terms in an effort to please the hosts. If one knows the language and can truly speak it, this can serve as a plus. However, simply looking up the translation of a word or phrase runs the risk of mispronouncing it or using an inappropriate dialect, in which case the attempt to feel more welcomed may in fact backfire and come across as bad humor. Similar to how someone from overseas may not understand differences in dialect in the United States between Boston, New York, Alabama or Minnesota, neither might someone from the United States understand regional dialect differences between provinces of another country. “Hello,” “good bye,” and “thank you” can be safe and simple terms to learn and use as a hospitable connection, so long as they are spelled and/or pronounced correctly.

Some larger international conferences do not identify an official language and will instead have interpreters available. These may be in sign or by way of audio. When speaking to an international audience through an interpreter, one should plan to speak approximately 10% slower and plan for pauses between sentences or strings of sentences to allow the message to be delivered. Additionally, and equally as important, pausing before advancing each slide allows the audience to read the slide and have more time for interpretation. 1   When speaking through an interpreter, the portion of time one has to deliver content is slightly less. A rule of thumb is to plan 3 to 5 minutes less for every 15 minutes of presenting to allow for a slower pace of delivery and strategic pauses.

Speaking through an interpreter can also make it difficult to maintain one's train of thought. The amount of information an interpreter can recall and repeat varies. If a presenter's statements are too short, the presentation becomes very choppy and the take-home messages may be lost. Conversely, if the presenter's statements are lengthy, the interpreter may not deliver the information as spoken. It is easy to be distracted by the interpreter's delivery. The language is foreign and the presenter may not be not certain if the translation accurately reflects the delivered words or the audience's understanding of the message. When possible, plan to meet with the interpreter and rehearse the content of the presentation point by point. Learn the pace of delivery that works best for the interpreter. Strive to maintain the pace and focus on the information to be provided after the interpreter is finished speaking. Occasionally an interpreter will need a presenter to repeat or rephrase what was said, as some English words are not easily translated into the language of the conference. Similarly, a member of the audience may seek clarification of the meaning of a word or phrase. When this occurs, the presenter should slow down the delivery and respond to such requests, pause, and then return to the planned delivery. With experience, a presenter can become proficient at speaking through an interpreter.

During the delivery of the presentation, there are a few other items of consideration. The first, as with any presentation, is to establish eye contact with members of the audience. In some Asian cultures, and in Africa, too much eye contact may be considered rude and intrusive. 9   Such knowledge brings added value when speaking to an international audience, as it allows the presenter to assess the audience's reaction to the presentation. In a very simple manner, the presenter may notice facial expressions that give off the sense of confusion or misunderstanding, or the presenter may see head nods of approval that may convey a level of understanding. In some instances, the body language of participants can also convey a signal of their interest. In Japan, for example, it is common to show concentration and attentiveness in public by closing the eyes and slowly nodding one's head up and down. 4 , 10  

Another consideration when delivering a presentation to an international audience is that of gestures. Some people like to use their hands while they speak to emphasize points of importance, or just in general as part of one's own learned communication style. Not all gestures convey the same meaning between cultures. In the United States, a thumbs-up gesture typically means “OK” or “good,” whereas the same gesture in some places (Australia, Greece, the Middle East, Africa, Iran) has a pejorative meaning. 4   Additionally, waving goodbye when done in some parts of Europe means “stay put.” 4 , 10   In his book Gestures: The Do's and Taboos of Body Language Around the World , Axtell 10   describes how one would use hands to demonstrate the height of a person. In the United States, when one gestures the height of someone from the ground up, typically the palms are facing downward toward the ground. However, in Colombia, for example, doing so in the exact same manner refers to the height of an animal. Audience members could be insulted that they are being referred to as animals if you are trying to demonstrate the height of a person. Another example is described when one gestures with the hand out and fingers curled, as in asking an audience member to join a presenter on the stage. This might seem perfectly appropriate to indicate an interest in having one move toward the direction of the presenter on the stage. However, in Hong Kong, Indonesia, and Australia, this is how animals are called, and may be considered offensive to some. 10  

One last piece of advice about speaking to an international audience relates to a question-and-answer format or panel-type session. It is possible that as a presenter one will field a question and provide an answer and the audience member might not understand what was said. It is important not to immediately assume the audience members do not understand the content, in which case one would typically rephrase the answer. It may be best to first learn if the participant does not understand because of the language barrier, in which case it may be more appropriate to repeat the original answer verbatim and more slowly. If after this is done the response remains unclear, the problem may still be a language barrier, or it may be the context of the answer. When confusion still exists, a follow-up sidebar discussion after the formal session to better clarify the exchange is most beneficial.

The overall appearance of the presenter must also be considered. A predetermined vision of dressing professionally in business-casual attire is typical when speaking to a professional audience of one's peers. Although this is what would be suggested as a starting point, once again it would be helpful to inquire of conference organizers and/or previous attendees as to the comfort level of dress for presenters. For example, in some countries, jeans are a very acceptable form of dress for speakers. In some countries, it is not necessary to wear a tie. In some countries, it is inappropriate for a woman to wear slacks. 11   On some occasions, the location and its weather may play a role in determining the proper and acceptable attire. For example, indoor conference rooms often have temperature fluctuations that are not predictable. Less common are conferences held in outdoor venues where the temperature might be uncomfortably hot. The presenter should learn if a particular conference has a theme. An example of this would be participating in a conference that promotes comfortable summer beach casual dress in accordance with a theme. Dressing in a sport coat and tie while all other speakers are wearing beach shirts, khaki shorts, and sandals would leave one feeling slightly uncomfortable and out of place despite the otherwise appropriate level of professional dress.

The most important take-home message is to prepare and rehearse. 12   Rehearse for time. Rehearse for delivery. Rehearse for a diverse audience. Rehearse for potential technology snafus.

Few presentations come off perfectly regardless of how much experience a speaker possesses. When giving a professional presentation to an international audience, the most important thing one can do is prepare and obtain as much knowledge about the venue, the participants, and the process as possible. When this is done, a presenter will be as prepared as one can possibly be. Each international experience is like starting all over and is unique in its own way. A presenter will gain valuable knowledge from the very first international presentation, but this knowledge may not apply in its entirety for future presentations in different countries, to different audiences, in different formats. Regardless, a presenter who follows the same process of preparation will gradually improve and become more comfortable with each presentation.

One final thought: it is not recommended to bring attention to the presentation by revealing that it is the presenter's first time speaking internationally. When a speaker apologizes for something, or reveals a weakness, such as “I have never spoken before an international audience on such a big stage,” it will only draw attention to that aspect of the delivery. Instead, one should prepare thoroughly and appropriately and deliver the presentation with confidence.

Speaking professionally to an international audience is a different experience when compared with a more familiar domestic presentation. Components of the delivery, including, but not limited to, the pace of the words and phrases spoken, body language and gestures, and strategic pauses, should all be considered. Gathering as much information as possible about the venue, the culture of the geographical host location and likely participants, and the theme of the conference is helpful to properly prepare for a successful presentation. The opportunity to present at an international conference is a personal and professional achievement. Thorough preparation will make the experience memorable and rewarding.

• All programmes
• Conference: Eye International Conference 2024

The annual Eye International Conference is an opportunity for scholars, archivists, curators, filmmakers, students, artists, and film enthusiasts from across the world to gather together and explore contemporary professional and academic issues affecting audiovisual heritage today.

On 26 through 29 May 2024, Eye Filmmuseum, the University of Amsterdam and the Laboratory for Experimental Museology (eM+) at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) will present the 9th Eye International Conference, this time with the topic ‘Presenting Audiovisual Collections: Experiments and Explorations’.

This edition is organised within the context of the Swiss National Fund’s Narratives from the long tail: Transforming access to audiovisual archives project which sets out to address and resolve the gap between digital archives and the embodied, participatory world of museological experience. The conference will open the topic of exploring and experimenting with audiovisual collection presentation, by focusing on formats emerging both inside and outside the settings of the conventional film theatre and/or beyond traditional curatorial frameworks, that afford new forms of public engagement and access. This focus comprises (but is not limited to): immersive, participatory, or multi-screen formats; alternative presentation models that use emerging technologies or low-tech and creative DIY approaches; experimentation with computational analysis of audiovisual collections; and explorations in remix and artistic reuse.

Ambassador and promoters announced for the Pink Tourism International Conference

Post Report

Maya Ko Pahichan Nepal (MKPN), an organisation working for matrimonial and legal rights of the LGBTQIA+ community, announced the ambassador and star promoters for the first Pink Tourism International Conference on Friday.

The event, supported by the Nepal Tourism Board (NTB), aims to promote Nepal as a welcoming destination for the LGBTQIA+ community under the theme ‘Yatra to Happiness’.

In a press meeting at NTB on Friday, MKPN announced digital content creator, model and fashion designer Rehan Shrestha as the ambassador for the conference. Shrestha was an ambassador of the ‘Visit Nepal Year 2020’ campaign, too.

Similarly, Parakram Rana and Dr Mausam Bohra, were announced as star promoters for the event. Dr Bohra, a successful female entrepreneur, aims to promote private sector support for pink tourism, emphasising its economic potential.

Rana, a content creator and blogger, highlighted Nepal’s reputation as a safe and welcoming destination for sexual and gender minorities, saying, “Nepal is a safe country. I invite you to come here (Nepal)."

Earlier, blogger Lex Limbu was announced as the star promoter for the international conference who will also be endorsing Nepal’s steps in LGBTQIA+ tourism.

Sunil Babu Pant, who was appointed Cultural Emissary (Ambassador) in January 2024 to promote international pink tourism, said that if tourists can be brought into Nepal through pink tourism, it will help boost Nepal’s GDP.

Maniraj Lamichhane, director of NTB, sharing the efforts to train 24 members of the sexual and gender minority community as trekking guides, with support from UNDP, stated that NTB is committed to inclusivity and making Nepal “a destination for all.”

Sahara Khadka, director of Pink Tiffany, remarked that Nepal has done a groundbreaking job for sexual and gender minority communities by organising the Pink Tourism International Conference for the first time. She further shared that the conference will help diminish the fear of hotels operated by the sexual and gender minority community going into loss.

Mythologist and author of more than 100 books, Devdutt Pattanaik and Paromita Vohra, founder of ‘Agents of Ishq’ will be the keynote speakers at the conference.

Online application for participation in the conference has been opened too. The online form can be filled out on MKPN’s website .
