Your PowerPoint slides (and any related technical paper) is due on Wednesday, 21 March 2021.  It would be greatly appreciated if you could have these presentations to us on time to allow for them to be review by us for final assessment for CPD purposes and for any changes that may need to be made prior to recording.

Please submit your presentation to team@smartersmsf.com.

 

Recording of session

As previously indicated, all breakout sessions will be pre-recorded and uploaded onto the platform for attendees to watch at the event (or following the event).

You have a choice for the session recording:

  • Your session can be recorded at our office using a green screen (see photo below)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • Your session can be recorded on Zoom (see screenshot below).  Smarter SMSF will provide a link to record the session as we want to capture via cloud recordings for editing purposes.  You can either record this in your own time (by the due date), or alternatively, the team at Smarter SMSF can coordinate a suitable time to complete together, giving you host permissions to control slides, etc.

 

A separate introduction video will be created by Aaron Dunn introducing you for the session, along with an outro video that will provide instructions for attendees to move to the live Q&A session for you as speaker to answer any questions from the session.

 

Q&A session

Following your session, we have allocated 15 mins for a live Q&A where attendees can have their questions answered by you.

Attendees will be provided with instructions as part of the outro video from your session to move to the live Q&A workshop where their questions will be answered with you.

Smarter SMSF will arrange for the collation of all questions throughout the session and provide these to you as the speaker to ensure that these can be answered in the follow-up session.

Further details about access to the Q&A session will be provided closer to the event, along with any training or additional guidance as required.

Presentation Tips

To assist you in preparing for your session, we have included some additional documents and videos to assist you in the process.

Presenting to a virtual audience

Whilst you are most probably used to presenting to an audience in-person, speaking to a 100% virtual audience can be a very different challenge.  You can’t see your audience where you can normally get a ‘read on the room’ through eye contact, body language and other ways that you would when delivering face-to-face.

We have attached the following document for you that outlines some tips and tricks for presenting online to a virtual audience.
