Presentation requirements:

• Please make sure your first name and last name is in the filename:
  • eg: agileaus-2021-Firstname-Lastname.pptx
• Append any versions (V1, V2, etc – the higher the number, the more recent it is) or date your files (YYMMDD) at the end
  • eg: agileaus-2021-Adina-Thavisin-V3.key
  • eg: agileaus-2021-Joan-Smith-200520.ppt

Videos:
If you are using videos in your presentation, we will not accept online video platforms such as YouTube, Vimeo, etc. Please make sure videos are embedded in MP4 or equivalent format and saved as a separate file for backup.

If you have specific AV requirements, such as sound, internet connection (eg: Google Slides), etc, please advise Slatterys ASAP.

Please note: we do not recommend that you live stream your talk. You may, however, use audio and video recorders to record your Conference presentation. Any material recorded by AgileAus will, of course, be sent to the speaker for confirmation and authorisation before publishing.

We welcome all questions and conversations! Please feel free to join the Slack channel through this link here.

Unless you are keynoting or you have agreed on a different format with organisers (e.g 20 mins or a 5 minute lightning talk), your session slot is a total of 40 minutes long, including Q&A. A friendly Slatterys staff member will indicate when you have FIVE minutes remaining, TWO minutes remaining, and when you must conclude immediately. It is not possible to run over-time due to the Conference’s tight schedule.

An MC will introduce you at the beginning of your presentation and thank you at the end. Your full biography will be included in the program booklet. Please do not spend any of your presentation time introducing yourself.

If you have time for Q&A, your MC will facilitate questions for you from the lectern.

At AgileAus21, you will be presenting on a stage which has a lectern and one projection screen behind you that is viewable to the audience – displaying your slides. All presentations will run from laptops at the back of the room (or AV desk) and you will have a clicker (remote mouse) to move through your slides from the stage.

Please note that at the lectern you will not be able to see your presentation notes. If you really need to see them while presenting please let us know prior to the Conference!

We would like you to be mic’d up before your talk. This will need to happen at the back of the room at the AV desk during the break prior to your talk. As introductions will be very short it is important that you are ready to go as soon as the speaker in front of you wraps up. Please be ready to take the stage at least five minutes before your presentation starts, to ensure a smooth transition between speakers.

If you are speaking with someone else we will ensure that you will both have lapels and one clicker between you both.

If you have specific AV requirements, such as sound, internet connection, etc, please advise Slatterys ASAP.

Photos captured during the Conference will be loaded to Flickr and sent to you post Conference.
