Successful Presentations:

Beat the Clock

Your

presentation

has run 5

minutes over

time.

Is the audience listening?

I’ll take that as a no.

So how do you

keep their

attention?

Stay within your allotted

time.

Stay within your allotted

time.

C’mon! Give me some real tips!

1. How much time do you

have to speak?

1400 – 1500

The Economics of WidgetsRoom: J100Session Chair: Roger RabbitA game theoretic analysis of widgets in Never Never LandCaptain Hook

Check the

conference

materials for

timing

guidelines.

1400 – 1500

So I’ve got about 18 mins

including Q&A!

Or contact the

organizers if

timing

information is

unavailable.

2. If there is no Q&A, speak for

no more than 95% of your

allotted time.

3. If there is a Q&A, aim for no

more than 75% of the allotted

time.

4. Practice with

a timer.

5. Practice with

a timer.

And if you didn’t catch that

last point…

6. Practice with

a timer.

7. If you run over

time during

practice, cut or

shorten

material where

possible.

Thanks for reading

and

Good luck!
