Presentations

Creating Your Presentation

Most EGM presentations are 45 minutes long. It’s typical to plan for a 30-minute presentation and 15 minutes of Q&A. If you are part of a joint presentation, you can choose whether you'd prefer to collaborate with each other or you can divide up the time and speak separately. Please work with your Epic Host if you have questions about the best format for your presentation.

The EGM PowerPoint template is available.

If you choose to not use the template, please: 

  • Limit intros and organisational stats to 1 slide.

  • Set your slide size to widescreen (16:9), instead of the standard (4:3).

  • Use standard fonts that are at least 14 pt and keep color contrast in mind.

  • Include a slide at the end with your contact information. 

PHI/PII

Avoid showing Protected Health Information (PHI) and Personally Identifiable Information (PII) in your presentation. This document outlines what is considered sensitive and how you can safely mask it. All presentations go through PHI/PII review before the slides are posted to the Session Archive site. To expedite this process, be sure your slides are safe to post upon submission.

Good to Know

Slide Updates

If you update your presentation (even if you bring it with you on a flash drive or your laptop), please email it to your Epic Host to make sure your final presentation is posted to the Session Archive site.

Epic Host

Each session is assigned an Epic Host to provide guidance and feedback as you prepare your slides. You’ll receive an email with your detailed session information and your Epic Host in February.

Room Setup

Most rooms have a short stage, a presenter table with a laptop with your presentation already loaded. Using the laptop is the most reliable route, but you may also present from your own laptop.

If you plan to do an in-system demonstration or have any special technology needs (laptops, mobile devices, etc.), please let your Epic Host know as soon as possible.
