Know Your Audience: Keep in mind attendees are family law attorneys from across the U.S. Avoid focusing on state-specific laws or practices, unless illustrating a relevant point.

Keep Slides Simple: Ensure your slides are clean but with enough content to keep the audience following along.

Check for Typos: Proofread your presentation before sending the final to the Ilumni Team.

End with Action: Consider sharing additional resources, links, and/or your contact info so attendees can get in touch with you for further questions.

Tech Tips

Manage Your Timing

Test Your Tech: Test your mic, camera, and Zoom functions before the session.

Check Lighting and Sound: Use proper lighting and a good microphone to ensure the audience can clearly see and hear you.

Be Prepared for Tech Issues: Have a secondary internet connection or device ready. In case you’re disconnected, have a plan in place to reconnect quickly, either by restarting Zoom or rejoining via another device.

Practice Makes Perfect: Run through your presentation in advance to ensure you stay within your time limit.

Allow Time for Q&A: While the presentation itself should wrap up in an hour, allow time at the end or throughout the presentation to field questions from attendees (see Run of Show).
