Conference presentations are important in every profession majorly for those which are related to academics. In most of the projects requires condensing a much longer paper into a 15 to 20 minute presentation which becomes challenging. However, presenting the work is an important academic and professional exercise because it allows sharing research, ideas and arguments with a wider audience. Presentations include visual elements which is used for converting a written paper into a visual material that is appropriate for the topic.

 However, presenting the work is an important academic and professional exercise
because it allows sharing research, ideas and arguments with a wider audience.
Presentations include visual elements which is used for converting a written paper into
a visual material that is appropriate for the topic.

4. Preparing PowerPoint Slides:
Pictures or graphics in the slides attract more attention of the audience. Thus, using
more pictures and graphics is relevant in a conference presentation and it must not be
overloaded with monotonous data or text. Too much text makes the slide unreadable.
The aim is to have a few powerful slides.
• Prepare an Agenda or Table of Contents slide.
• Proofread everything, including visuals and numbers.
• Font size must be large enough to be easily read. Using a variety of fonts in is
distracting.

6.  For a long presentation, changing the background designs when shifting to a new topic
attracts the audience to listen. Animation effects can be interesting when used in moderation.
Too much animation is distracting and time taking. Slides must not be read aloud. Audience
can read the slides themselves. Numbers are usually confusing to the audience. They should
be used as little as possible.
 Charts need to be clearly labelled. Numbers in tables are both hard to see and to understand.
There is usually a better way to present the numerical data than with columns and rows of
numbers. PowerPoint deletes portions of charts and worksheets that are imported from Excel
which is more creative.

8. Key points to be remembered for a conference presentation:
Introduction of the speaker (unless already introduced).
Stating the thesis clearly.
• Telling the audience why the selected topic is relevant.
• Making sure to tell the audience what awaits them.
• Incorporation of a lot of quotes in the paper, make it more difficult to cite other scholars in
a presentation. Use of signal phrase to introduce the source to the audience is relevant.
• Confidence and understanding about the topic is vital for a conference presentation.

10.  Conference presentation must not be ended without a conclusion. The audience has just
listened too many of the arguments and observations, but they may have already forgotten
some of them. Thus, concluding the whole presentation is very important to make sure that
the audience does not miss out the basics of the project explained earlier by the speaker.
 Speaking: Talk at a natural, confident and moderate rate of speech, project the voice, speak
clearly and distinctly, repeat critical information, pause briefly to give the audience time to
digest the information on each new slide.
