Presentation Guidelines

Our Philosophy

There are two goals for every presentation:

  • Provide "Kick the boss's door down" excitement about something freshly learned.

  • Teach our audience a practical skill or principle that can be applied immediately.


Presenters should:

  • Provide case studies about UX-related challenges, problem-solving, and trends.

  • Offer a talk that is narrow and deep as opposed to wide and shallow—although this rule has been successfully broken at times.

  • Offer presentations that are heavy on visuals.

  • Offer qualitative and quantitative evidence to back up your story if/when appropriate.

Presenters should not:

  • Offer text-only "conference room" presentations which are read to the audience.

  • Include stories or screenshots from confidential projects that are unlikely to be approved for sharing.

  • Actively plug their company's services as part of the talk. If the presenter's company is providing space for the talk, promotion of that company's products and services must be restricted to the opening and/or closing announcements, and to the website.
