Preparing Your Presentation and Handouts

The RESNA Speaker Team will prepare a PDF copy of your presentation slides as a handout for attendees. RESNA also strongly suggests the use of additional handouts at all presentations. Handouts serve as a source of reference material and a review of the course at a later date. They reduce the need to take notes and serve as supplementary material. Handouts should supply the attendees with additional up-to-date information and/or material too lengthy or complex for note-taking during the presentation. All handouts will be provided in a digital format on the mobile app for onsite attendees.

Handouts may include (but are not limited to):

• Outline of presentation
• Charts, diagrams, and check lists (provided they meet the instructions noted on the preceding section under “Presentation and Session Guidelines”)
• Bibliography of related references
• Glossary of terms
• Copies of articles from newspapers, journals, etc. (provided they meet the instructions on the preceding page and a copyright release has been obtained as appropriate)

You can begin developing your slides now by using the PowerPoint Template in the RESNA Speakers Dropbox Folder. Please upload and submit your slide deck here. 

Important dates:

• March 31^st: Please ensure you sign the Speaker Agreement form and complete the conference session multiple choice assessment form. Please turn this in today – it takes less than 10 minutes!
• April 3rd. The early bird conference registration will pass after this date. 
• April 25th: : Please submit your presentation slide deck to the Dropbox folder by this date.
