Guidelines For Speakers

##General##

1. Please reach the venue on time. Plan to reach at least 15-30 minutes earlier than scheduled time to account for traffic jams or any other unexpected events.

##Slides##

1. Create a master template with the following things in either the header or footer

• Meetup Logo
• Your twitter handle
• Event Hashtag (e.g. #ktmjsmeetup)

2. Upload the presentation on slideshare even before you come to the meetup and keep a bit.ly easy-to-remember url like bit.ly/ktmjs-meteor that redirects to the slideshare URL
3. The presentation can generate leads for your business or enhance your reputation. Make sure the first slide is attractive.
4. Limit the use of words

##Presentation##

##Demo##

1. Try to keep your demo on a publically accessible url and share the short version e.g. bit.ly/ktmjs-meteordemo with the audience

##Marketing##

1. Announce that you will be speaking at the meetup on the evening before and the morning of the meetup. Don’t forget to use the meetup hashtag.
2. Keep 3-4 tweetable sentences about the subject you are talking about in your presentation slides. Emphasize them in a way that attendees can know that they can share those sentences on social media.
