Presentations and Posters Workshop If you want to sound like an expert you should make sure that you have included everything. Put in complex charts graphs, and images too, so they can really appreciate and understand just how much work you have done. The information should be written in detail and text should always fill the slide. Read it to the audience so you know they are getting it and won’t miss anything. Prove that you remember all the details by including any bits and pieces you can squeeze into your allotted time. Make sure all of your thoughts and ideas are there, and it will be a fine presentation.
