Understanding Your Audience• At NASTT’s No-Dig Show, you will be
welcomed by a committed audience who really wants to hear what you have to say.
• There are six concurrent tracks being presented, so attendees had to make a choice and pick your presentation.

Understanding Your Audience
• Remember that your audience wants you to share your knowledge and experience.
• The highest ratings in post-show surveys are given to those that effectively deliver valuable information without commercialism.

Defining Your Audience• There are generally 20 to 120 people
within a session. The large variance comes primarily from the track topic.
• The meeting rooms will be set up to accommodate up to 120 people.
• Your presentation should be designed for projection - color selection and font size are key variables.

Defining Your Audience• Most in attendance understand the
basics of underground construction and rehabilitation but are less likely to be an expert on the topic you are presenting.
• Engineers, contractors, students and field experienced individuals make up NASTT’s No-Dig Show attendees.
• Target your audience’s level of understanding.

Color & Theme• It is REQUIRED that you use this
template for your presentation.
• Use colors sparingly for more effect and to avoid overwhelming the audience.
• Colors may appear differently when projected vs. on-screen. Test your presentation color theme using a projector.

Copy & Text• Don’t fall into the trap of using too
much text. Use your presentation as an overview, not as a complete statement.
• Bullet points, abbreviated statements, graphics, photographs and media clips will allow the attendee to listen to your presentation vs. concentrating on reading the slides.
![Page 8: NASTT’s 2013 No-Dig Show PowerPoint Guidelines Kim Staheli NASTT’s 2013 No-Dig Show Program Chair Kevin Nagle NASTT’s 2013 No-Dig Show Program Vice Chair](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649e615503460f94b5cc7a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Number of Slides• Presentations must cover the subject of
your technical paper.
• Make sure you can discuss the points shown on the slides in the time allotted for your presentation.
• All presentations are 25 minutes including time for speaker introduction and a 5 minute Q&A period.
• Don’t prepare too many slides. No more than 30 is suggested.

Visuals
Choose visuals that represent your topic and deliver your message. Relevance and simplicity are important.
Do not place a table full of text into your presentation only to tell the audience they can’t read it.
Refer to your paper and the proceedings for more detailed information if necessary.

The Use of Company Logos
• Company logos may appear on first and last slides only.
• Attendees do not want to sit through a sales presentation.
![Page 11: NASTT’s 2013 No-Dig Show PowerPoint Guidelines Kim Staheli NASTT’s 2013 No-Dig Show Program Chair Kevin Nagle NASTT’s 2013 No-Dig Show Program Vice Chair](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649e615503460f94b5cc7a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The Use of Media Clips• If media clips are embedded in your
presentation, please alert your session leader.
• Presenters must verify that media clips are working correctly in the Speaker Ready Room on Sunday, March 3 from 12:00-4:00 PM and immediately before your session starts. The Speaker Ready Room is Room 316.

Images• Make sure you optimize image
size used to keep the file size of the PowerPoint presentation reasonable.
• Typically an image of 800 pixels in width (about 8”) is the optimum file size.

Practices Makes Perfect• Know the content of your
presentation.
• Do not “read” your slides. Share your knowledge and use the presentation slides to remind you what to say next.
• Time yourself to be sure you can deliver your presentation within the limits allowed.
• Make sure you leave time for questions from you audience.
