FLASH TALKS SPEAKER GUIDE

Flash Talks are shorter, condensed versions of our presentations and take place during Break Out Sessions throughout the event. Flash Talks vary in length and format, so please refer to the Session Introduction email you received from the SPC Events Team for the exact duration of your session. 

• Prepare the main points you’d like to make and identify how your topic can be applicable to advancing sustainable packaging or combatting climate change.

• Write down your script.

• Create the visual aids based on the content of your session (as opposed to basing your content on the visual aids).

• If you would like to include a video, it needs to be no longer than 1 minute and match the style of the rest of your session.

• Memorize, rehearse, and time yourself. Please check the exact duration of your session in the Session Introduction email you received from the SPC Events Team.

• Fact check any detail or claim that relies on external information. This can take the shape of something like a quote, anything with a number (dates, statistics, estimates, etc.), references to research, the findings of a study or a survey, and pretty much all general claims. Basically, if it can be checked, it should be checked.
