National Seminar Presenting at the Seminar Speaker Hub

To help you prepare to deliver a standout learning session at the National Seminar, NSPRA is offering customizable graphics for social media promotions, a Seminar-themed presentation slides template and optional coaching sessions for first-time presenters (or returning presenters!) who'd like a little extra preparation.

Read on for these resources and an important checklist of to-do's for speakers.

Speaker To-Do's CheckList

Be sure you have completed these items by:

• ✅ TODAY — Review your accepted session details and update your bio and headshot as needed in the Speaker Console. (Login using the same email address and password that you used when submitting your session proposal.) Your session and speaker details are now available online in the detailed Seminar program.
• ✅ TODAY — Review the NSPRA Seminar Presenter Commitment statement that you had to review and accept before submitting your session proposal.
• ✅ BY JUNE 30 — Upload any handouts/tip sheets/slides for attendees to view during your session as PDF files (max size 25 MB) in the Speaker Console. (Login using the same email address and password that you used when submitting your session proposal.) As a reminder, a tip sheet/handout is required for all Gold Mine Roundtable sessions.
• ✅ BY JUNE 30 — Upload a pre-recorded video of your presentation for on-demand viewing after the Seminar by registered attendees. Presentation videos should be uploaded as an MP4 file. Pre-recorded video presentations do not have audience engagement, so they should only be about 45 minutes for Amplify Sessions, about 30 minutes for Skill Sessions and about 15 minutes for Gold Mine Sessions. Remember to not share your video elsewhere; in your speaker commitment, you granted NSPRA exclusive permission to make the pre-recorded video of your session available for on-demand viewing after the Seminar.
• ✅ BY JULY 14 — Register for the Seminar if you haven't already done so. After the early bird registration rate ends on April 30, accepted speakers only are still eligible to register at the early bird rate; visit the speaker registration portal. (Note: If you previously registered as a regular attendee, there is no need to register again through the speaker portal.)
• ✅ ON July 20–23 — In each session room, NSPRA provides only an LCD projector, screen and a wired microphone. As a presenter, please bring the following items with you to the Seminar:
  • Laptop computer (Do not just bring a USB flash drive or a presentation weblink. Hotel conference rooms are not equipped with computers/laptops.)
  • Cable to connect your laptop to a projector (e.g., VGA cable, HDMI cable, USB-C or Thunderbolt cable with adapter) to ensure appropriate connection capability
  • Wireless presentation remote if desired
     

Customizable Social Media Graphics

NSPRA has developed social media graphics to help you promote your session at the Seminar. 

1. Access the templates in Canva and insert your session details:  1200x1200    1080x1350
2. Save the images to your computer and post to social media, inviting colleagues and Seminar attendees to attend your session. 
3. Don’t forget to use the hashtags #NSPRA2025 and #ROAD2NSPRA and tag NSPRA in your posts! 

If you are unable to use Canva and need the templates in an alternate format, please email editorial@nspra.org.

Coaching for Presenters

Take advantage of this valuable, optional opportunity particularly if you are a first-time presenter! Schedule a meeting to review your slide deck with NSPRA Manager of Professional Development and Member Engagement Melissa McConnell and get feedback, encouragement and validation that you're on the right track with your presentation.

Ask questions, discuss the flow of the presentation, get tips on design, best practices for sharing information "after" the session, and more. This is a great way to ensure your content matches your title and description. It could also help you earn 5 out of 5 stars from your attendees!
