ASHHRA22: Speak

• Slides should be used as a guide to focus the audience’s attention, not as a script that is read from – limit bullet points and text.
• Use professional colors and images to guarantee the slides are easy to view for the audience.
• Use high quality graphics.
• Avoid distracting or cartoon graphics.
• Limit transition and builds (animation).
• Use a minimum font size of 22.
• Remain consistent with font and text placement.
• Avoid phrases such as “Um” or “Uh” and related placeholders.

Our attendees seek solution-oriented content. Share your stories, case studies and expert experience that highlight challenges, insights, developments, solutions, and more regarding the healthcare HR field. All presentations should define a problem, determine a solution (either proposed or implemented), implement ideas, and generate recommendations or changes that can be adapted for individual organizational needs.

• Lecture: Classic session format for one to three presenters to cover content through a presentation with time for a brief Q&A at the end.
• Panel: A panel of three to four experts or peers share their story or stories collectively through discussion with time for a brief Q&A at the end.
• Workshop: This type of program focuses on hands-on learning, allowing for a deep dive of real world application that might include activities such as role-playing, interactive group projects, tool application, etc.
• Roundtable: This format allows for the audience to fully interact with each other and the content, with the help of a facilitator. This might involve discussion, writing tasks, brainstorming and sharing of stories within a smaller group.
