SPEAKERS FORM

Please note the following information:

1. THE TITLE

What makes a good presentation title? In short: anything that arouses curiosity and makes you want to know more. Your title can be clear and concise, play with humour or deliberately challenging – the main thing is that it draws your audience into the presentation.

Take inspiration from current trends, leading media or digital storytelling strategies. Well-made clickbait? Works – as long as the content delivers what the title promises. Check out platforms such as TEDx Talks to gather fresh ideas.

In the end, only one thing is important: your title should get to the heart of the matter – and ensure that nobody wants to miss the talk.

You can also find more detailed information and tips in our guide for presentations.

2. THE PICTURE

We will use your photo for event promotion, our website and other visuals. Therefore, we need a picture of you in HD quality with at least 1920×1080 pixels. This means that passport photos, selfies or scanned images are difficult or impossible for us to use!
