By way of reminder, we are hosting an interfaith conference with several mental health topics. We are asking that your presentation is mindful of an audience of women from multiple faiths and varied walks of life. Addresses should be non-promotional and consist of original content created uniquely for this event.

 

Please plan on being seated and ready to begin your presentation at least 20 minutes prior to your presentation start time. Click here to see the schedule.

​

Slides Due Date

Your presentation should focus on experiential learning, real time connection with the audience, with minimal slide use. If you decide to use slides, please submit a pdf, PPT, or keynote of your finalized slides to christy@drchristykane.com by April 25th.

​

This deadline is two weeks prior to the conference to allow for any necessary revisions and/or changes, and to allow our tech team to preload the presentations and test for any technical issues.

 

Please also submit the following information for your introduction: 

 

• Who is the speaker? (name, professional title, credentials) 

• Fun or quirky fact about yourself

• Instagram handle

• Title of your speech

 

Due to the tight schedule of the conference, we will be preloading all presentations onto a single computer to minimize potential tech issues, set up, and rollover time between speakers. In an effort to conserve time and allow you more opportunity to share your voice, we will display a slide behind you at the beginning of your session to introduce you to the audience. The Find Your Voice conference committee will create these slides to create a consistent visual experience. 

 

Slide Formatting and Use

We invite speakers to focus on engagement with the audience through a minimal use of slides. If you decide you’d like to use a few slides, we recommend creating slides with visuals that avoid large amounts of text.

 

Any slides created should be formatted in a 16:9 aspect ratio (this is the standard and default widescreen size for powerpoint). If your file is larger than 10MB you will need to send the file using a google drive link.

We recommend not including videos or animations as part of your slides.

 

If you have any questions about your slides or presentation please let us know.

 

Presentation Length

Each speaker has been given 25 minutes, with keynote speakers allowed 40 minutes, for their presentations. We request that you respect the time allowances so that all speakers may share their messages.

Speakers can expect that our Hospitality Team will assist speakers as they approach the end of their session by holding up cards indicating when you have 5 minutes remaining, 2 minutes remaining, and finally “please conclude.”
