WHAT TO EXPECT IF YOUR PROPOSAL IS ACCEPTED

Presentation Development and Delivery Program
Presenters will be provided with the tools and support to prepare their presentation in advance of delivering their
presentation either live at the event or virtually. Please review the stages below.
• Draft Presentation
o Presenters are to provide a draft PowerPoint presentation (using PMI’s template) with the script
or an explanation for the content included for each slide in the Notes section.
o This gives the reviewer a clear idea of what will be presented to the audience in smaller bite-
sized chunks as well as the overall structure of the presentation. The reviewer will provide
feedback to the presenter, who may incorporate those recommendations for the next stage of the
process, Virtual Practice. Full instructions will be shared during the required speaker webinar.
• Virtual Practice Session
o All presenters will have an opportunity to practice their presentation with a project management
subject matter expert who is a skilled presenter. Immediate feedback is provided, and the
presenter is then better prepared to deliver their final presentation.
• Registration/Travel & Hotel
If your presentation proposal is selected and all deadline/milestones have been met, PMI will grant the lead-
presenter a complimentary registration and the co-presenter a discounted rate.
o Travel & Hotel: Travel and hotel expenses are the responsibility of the presenter.
