Tips for Energizing Your Virtual Communications
From experienced online presenters to novices still not quite comfortable with speaking into a camera, there are always techniques we can all work on to improve the effectiveness of our virtual communications. The following video offers a variety of useful tips on how to deliver online presentations with confidence and credibility.
Uploading Your Presentation Materials
You will have a presentation page unique to you within the Discovery Summit Site. This is where you will need to upload your presentation materials.
- Presentation materials must be uploaded prior to your scheduled recording date.
- Presentation materials must not include company information and be in a PDF format for PowerPoint.
- If you do not currently have a JMP User Community ID please create one now (you will be prompted to create a SAS profile) and send to Kirsten Crannell.
- Instructions for uploading your presentation materials.
More specific guidelines for paper and poster presenters are listed below:
- You may submit your presentation file in any format (for example, PDF, JMP journal or PowerPoint).
- If you choose PowerPoint, we recommend that you use your organization's own PowerPoint template. Alternatively, you are welcome to use this Discovery Summit template.
- Include a title slide in your slide deck.
- You are welcome to submit a paper corresponding to your presentation. Past experience has shown that this provides the highest value for attendees.
- "JMP" is pronounced "jump", not "J-M-P." And "SAS" is pronounced "sass," as in "sas-sy," not "S-A-S."
