Presentation Guidelines

Before you jump in, here are some guidelines to keep in mind as you craft your presentation:

  • Have fun. Take risks. Don’t be afraid to try something new. You are among friends.
  • Include at least one interactive component in your presentation. What more can you add to the attendees’ experience?
  • It is strongly recommended that you provide a takeaway for your audience, and it can be anything from a white paper to an infographic to a follow-up worklist or reading list (your slides don’t count as a takeaway). Your takeaway does not need to be printed - the IOA can make it available to attendees after your presentation.
  • Use the best research and reporting practices. Openly cite any sources.
  • Please dress in business attire for your presentation.
  • Please notify the IOA office immediately if an emergency may prevent you from presenting a session. Please send a written cancellation via email to [email protected].
