IMPORTANT

• When you start your recording please be sure to introduce yourself before beginning your presentation.

• If for any reason during your recording you need to stop & start again, please make a note of the time in the recording [e.g. 03:42] in a word document labelled with your unique Reference Number, and upload this along with your recording 

• Please also include any other notes you deem important for the video editor to be aware of 

Here are some tips when recording your session: 

Camera

• Lighting – We recommend sitting facing a light source, e.g. a window or table lamp, rather than having the light source behind or directly above.  
• Background – Try to have a neutral background with nothing distracting behind you as this may detract your audience from your presentation. 
• Camera level – Sit roughly an arm’s length away from the camera during your session with the camera at roughly eye level (try by propping your device on a shelf/ textbooks etc). This will make a big difference to the overall look, also when recording looking straight into the camera will help engage your audience. 

Microphone

• Computer- Switch off computer notification noises, e.g. Skype, email. Ideally close any unused applications whilst presenting.
• Microphone- The computer in-built microphone is not usually the best quality, if possible, use an external plugin microphone/headset.
• Background noise- Find a location that is quiet with limited background noise. If there is a lasting background noise in your environment, please mute your mic when you are not speaking. 

Presentation Guidelines 

• Presentation length should be 20 minutes. No live Q&A will follow after any talk – All Q&A will be as part of a community chat. 

• Presentations should be submitted in English. 

• Presentations in PowerPoint format are preferred with a minimum font size of 24 so that text is easily legible; 16:9 format.  

• Please do not upload sensitive files that may contain personal, medical or financial information about yourself or another individual.  If that's unavoidable, use a password to secure the file before uploading.  

AFTER THE EVENT

All sessions will be shared with our registered delegates post-event; this includes any slides or presentation material.  If you would prefer NOT to share your material, please let me know in advance and we will ensure your session/material is removed from the platform. 

WORKSHOP/LIVE Q&A

If you are leading a workshop with live discussion or involved in a live Q&A session, we will be in touch soon about how the live elements of your participation will work in the conference.
