3. About the Best Practice Event
This is a world-class awards program and every presenter is expected to follow the rules of the competition.
Failure to comply could result in your entry being scored down. At the event, the standards are
exceptionally high – the best from around the region will be presenting and this document includes the
following information
1. How to Prepare
2. Technical Check (Pre Briefing Session) & Video Interview

4. Q&A Sessions

1. How to Prepare
Every presenter should consult the guidelines in this document for specific details for their presentations.
There are two types of Presenters: Finalists and Panelists – details below
It is important that you follow the information contained in this document – it is there to help you create a
potential award winning presentation. We will ask you to create slides and upload them to our servers on or
before a specified date. This will allow us to do some testing and to verify they meet the criteria.
The slides should follow the guidelines we have set out. Unless you hear from us the slides you submit will
be deemed final and no changes can be made after they have been submitted for approval.
You will then have approximately 4 weeks to rehearse your slide presentation.
Finalists – these presenters are in the running to win the overall top award ‘GOLD’ and to go on to
represent the region in the Global Best Practice Awards later on this year. Finalists will all present from a
formal podium and this document outlines what they will share.
Note presentation times will vary between 10-15 minutes for most categories – details will be provided
separately for each event (expect the timings latest 8th April) For now the guidelines in this document will
help you start your planning and once you know the specific time you will have you can fine tune your
presentation to meet these timings
Panelists - are competing to see how they place just outside the top group. Panelists are top performers
who just fell shorty of making the top group, however they have much to share. Panel sessions do include
slides – however the presenters are not expected to stand at a podium but to sit at a top table and share
their ideas. We have all panelists at the top table at the same time and go from left to right with each
sharing their top 5-10 Tips which are related to the session, their experience and each tip should take no be
no longer than 2 minutes. Panelists should follow the same guidelines as finalists on what to present,
however as time is less they should focus more on their best practice tips and cut down on company details
and a summary – each slide should be a tip.

4. 2. Technical Check (Pre-Briefing Session) & Video Interview
This year we will offer 4 different time slots for presenters to meet with us and check the room, technology
and review the slides we have loaded for you. Every presenter should attend one of these slots to ensure
everything is set up. The sessions will take place on Sunday 24th June in the conference meeting room
and you need only attend one session. Timings for the sessions will be advised 2 weeks out from the event.
At the session you can expect to meet with our staff who will be setting up your slides for you to present
with. You will also see the timing tools and discover how to use the slide advance presentation remote so
you will be able to immediately start presenting with greater confidence.
We will also video each presenter and ask them the following questions which will be used during/post the
event
a) Your name, role and company you work for
b) What made you enter the awards program?
c) What tips will you be sharing?
Please be ready for this by wearing suitable attire and arriving on time – this will take place in the same
room as the technical check on Sunday.
Note, if you ask us to change any slides there will be an instant penalty between 5-25% of your possible
max score depending on the amount of time / changes made.
It is also important to note that this is not a rehearsal; it’s a quick visit with our tech team who will be on site
and a quick review of the slides which our tech team will control. Expect to be with the tech team for no
more than 5 minutes and the video session will last approximately 5 minutes. When you arrive at the
session you will be given a ticket number – we will meet presenters in number order.
3. Deadlines
There are key deadlines to submit your slides and paperwork.
Slides must be completed and uploaded to ContactCenterWorld by 25th May 2012 to avoid any penalty
deductions. Details for the upload location will be advised around week 1st May 2012– please look out for
this communication
Your documentation to explain the makeup of your slides needs to be in by 25th May 2012 as well – these
can be faxed – see last 2 (two) pages of this document.
Failure to comply with deadlines will result in an automatic penalty of 10% of voting scores being deducted
and for each day past the deadline a further 1% will be deducted. In the event your slides OR
documentation are not received 2 weeks out from the event, your participation we will deem your entry null
and void and you will not be allowed to present.

5. 4. Q & A Sessions
Usually after each presentation session where there are 2 or more presenters we aim to have a Question &
Answer session (Q&A). During the following rules apply
1. Only 1 presenter can answer questions
2. If a translator is needed they will sit with our AV team and translate using a wireless microphone –
they cannot sit beside the person who is answering the question and coach.
This year we will send questions in advance that will help you share some of your best practices – we will
review what judges wrote about your application and look for some questions that may be unique to you
based on your entry.
5. Slide Guidelines
Once your final slides have been received, they will be checked by ContactCenterWorld and may not
altered by you unless we deem it necessary in which case we will contact you. This will occur if there are
quality issues or the presentation guidelines have not been met. Once slides have been approved they may
not be changed.
For those presenters who prefer to use their own laptop, ContactCenterWorld will require a full and final
copy of the slides by the due date and you must not change your slides – if you do you will incur a penalty
for non-compliance – this could mean the difference between 1st and 3rd place!
In the event you ask us to change any slides – this includes any additions, deletions, typographical
amends, adding or removing video – after the deadline for submission has passed, you will incur an
automatic point deduction.
For each category we will advise how long you will have by 8th April. These is the maximum duration
including any video or other media you may use. You will not be allowed to go over time – we have very
strict rules regarding time keeping and anyone failing to follow these will be cut off when their time expires.
Video - you are allowed to include a short video in your presentation if this adds value. Please note that the
video should not take up more than 20% of your total presentation time. i.e. if you have 10 minutes to
present your video should be 2 minutes or less. If it is longer it will not be allowed.
The video should not be a general company video – it should be relevant to the award and contain content
that will help delegates and judges assess your performance. It should focus on the center and/or
applicants themselves.
Even if you are nominated for a personal award, DO NOT include any footage of colleagues talking about
you – show yourself seated or showing us around the center explaining unique tasks you do and how.
Closing slide – your last slide should NOT contain any email or contact details – we will be providing a
networking tool for all delegates. It should also not contain any reference to questions – we will manage
questions separately.
Remember - the purpose of your presentation is to share best practices and impress the judges you really
are the best. All presentations are to be created using PowerPoint or a self-running player that operates in

6. Windows. The duration of each presentation is dependent upon the award type – details to be advised.
Some of the delegates and a select panel of elite judges will be voting on all the presentations.
Specific guidelines by category: (categories listed in alphabetical order by name of the category)
Below are notes for each category. They are designed to help you plan and prepare for the event.
It is important to follow these guidelines so that you maximize your success – judges will be
looking for evidence of these and other delegates are looking for you to share your ideas.

All slides should be clear and easy to read from a distance – cluttered slides or charts
without any clear identification or that are too complex to explain should be avoided.

7. Examples of good slides and slides that should be avoided are shown on the following pages
Good slides – key is they are clear, concise
Overall center performance – easy to understand Final slide with
summary tips
About company and center – concise Showing performance – clear
X poor slides – too much information and confusing
7|Page
5/4/2012
8. too much information to explain, text spans graphics
at top. Colors hard to see from a distance – too
much going on!
Too much detail to explain
Slide contains lots of information in non English
language
8|Page
5/4/2012
9. Other tips for your slides
Do not add in logos of awards or accolades – you are already a winner and do not need to
establish your credentials
Do not add in customer comments – everyone at the event will expect you to be awesome
Make sure all slides are in the English Language – if you submit tables, comments etc and
the audience cannot read them, they may become disinterested.
Check spelling – obvious, but sometimes overlooked
If using transitions and builds – do not add too many into one slide – result is that
delegates can get bored and you may click too far ahead and lose your place
If adding video embed the video to run automatically BUT when you upload also send us
the video file!
If you use the ContactCenterWorld logo or awards logo please use a high
quality image – ask us if you want one
Use high quality images – poor images that are pixelated look terrible
Keep it simple – do not make to complex – delegates have a few seconds to review your
slides and you want them listening to what you are saying, not trying to figure out details
for even more tips this is a great article

Trainers have 2 tasks to perform at the conference
The first is to run a brief energizer session and second to present at the conference. Each task is
described below.
Energizer Session
It’s common that trainees can become a little tired or distracted and they need some extra
motivation or direction to get back into a high gear for training. Your task is to run a session
(anything you want) for a maximum of 3 minutes to achieve this task. There are only two (2) rules:
(1) whatever you do it must not be indecent or inappropriate for the audience and (2) It must be
achieved within 3 minutes. You should email your planned task to Raj Wadhwani, President
ContactCenterWorld.com before May 15th for approval. Once it has been approved it may not be
altered without any further approval. When you email your plan, please state clearly who you are,
for which conference area and that its your task for the energizer session. Raj can be reached at
rajw@ContactCenterWorld.com
Content for the presentation
Your slides should all be focussed on your role and success as a trainer and include:
How you define the success of your role (give results where applicable i.e. targets versus

For those presenters who like to move about as they speak a handheld and over the ear microphone is
available. Otherwise, presenters wishing to speak from the podium can be assured there is a podium
microphone, which will pick up their voice from a reasonable distance. Please ensure you speak into the
microphone and not turn your head away and speak. Also please make sure you use the microphone at all
times as we are recording the audio.
For those using the over the ear microphone, please position the microphone close to your mouth. There is
an on/off button on the top of the power pack – PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH THE ON/OFF BUTTON .
Timekeeping
We have an electronic timekeeping system which comprises a count down timer and light notification
system. This will be started as soon as you start your presentation. The green light will light up as soon as
your start. 2 minutes out the amber OR green light will glow/flash and when your time is up a buzzer will
sound and the red light will go on. At this time we will cut your microphone and any video playing.

to help you count down the time – see next page for an illustration of the manual system.

Question and Answer Sessions
After all presenters have concluded, we will ask that all
presenters participate in a Question and Answer session where we will invite questions from the audience.
You must participate and will be asked to share the top table where you will have a microphone and also be
able to see the question being posed by the delegates.
Testing Slides
We have invited all presenters to test their slides. If you choose not to exercise this option then that is your
choice. It is your responsibility to make sure your slides are the correct ones and that every transition,
animation, audio and video is correct. We will not embed video or allow any changes on the day of
your presentation.
Present from Your own PC
You are able to use your own PC so long as we have a copy on ours – advise us in advance if you wish to
do this – we will need your PC 1 HOUR BEFORE the sessions you are presenting in start so we can
integrate it into the system.
Video on DVD/CD
We can run video from a pc if your video is not embedded – this is not ideal but possible
Multiple Presentations
If you are a presenter and your company has the opportunity to present in several categories, please
ensure that you do not repeat slides in other presentations unless they are absolutely necessary. Boring
presentations or repeated content lead to lower scores from the judges
