New Speaker Area If you are a first-time presenter (or even if this is your first-time speaking at an IOUG event) and you need advice or assistance with anything from "Should I attend the Speaker Orientation" to "How many slides should I prepare for my presentation", the New Speaker Mentors, along with the rest of the Conference Committee, are here to help. Click here for the entire Conference Committee Contact List. Below are some frequently asked questions by first-time speakers: How many slides should my presentation include? The generally accepted guideline is 1.5 to 2 minutes per slide. Don't forget to allow time for a question and answer period. Your style may be slightly different so the best guideline is to practice your presentation in front of a live audience and time your presentation. Any tips for a successful presentation?
Will I receive any feedback on my presentation? All attendees in your session will be asked to complete an evaluation form. Remind them to complete the form at the end of your presentation. You will be sent the results post-conference. In addition, the New Speaker Mentor will try to attend as many sessions as possible. If the Mentor attends your session, the Mentor will meet with you immediately after and critique your session. Who can I contact if I have additional questions or concerns? If you are a first-time speaker, please feel free to contact Headquarters at speakers@ioug.org or the New Speaker Mentor, Michael Abbey (abbey@pythian.com) at any time with any questions. The objective is to help make this a successful experience for you in every way. Bookstore The official bookstore for COLLABORATE 12 is DigitalGuru Technical Bookshop.
