The document provides best practices for designing and delivering effective presentations. For design, it recommends keeping presentations clean and simple with easy-to-read fonts, high quality graphics to highlight key points, and limited use of transitions, sounds and videos. Proper use of color, charts and slide sorter is also advised. For delivery, it suggests showing enthusiasm for the topic, being confident, and practicing extensively. Presenters should make eye contact, speak slowly and clearly at an appropriate volume and pitch, and move naturally when delivering the presentation.

One Point Per Slide – Why It’s Important and How to Do ItStinson
PowerPoint presentations have come a long way from bullet points and ClipArt. Presentations have evolved with not only the presenter and the audience, but also our preference to be moved and not sold to. One of the biggest presentation trends is having only one point per slide. Check out our presentation to see why having only one point per slide is important!

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Builder.ai Founder Sachin Dev Duggal's Strategic Approach to Create an Innova...Ramesh Iyer
In today's fast-changing business world, Companies that adapt and embrace new ideas often need help to keep up with the competition. However, fostering a culture of innovation takes much work. It takes vision, leadership and willingness to take risks in the right proportion. Sachin Dev Duggal, co-founder of Builder.ai, has perfected the art of this balance, creating a company culture where creativity and growth are nurtured at each stage.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

Editor's Notes
This PowerPoint highlights the major tips for good presentation design and delivery
The design of slides is important for many reasons:Your message is conveyed faster and more efficiently if you have a visual presentationIt can make your presentation seem more professionalIt makes your points easier to focus on, which leads to better understanding and attention
Your slides should have plenty of “white” or “negative” spaceYou should not have anything superfluous on your slides, it takes away from your presentationYour message will be more powerful if you have less clutter on the slide
Use the same font set throughout your whole presentation, and use no more than two complementary fontsSerif fonts are designed to be used in documents with a large amount of textSan Serif fonts are best for PowerPoint presentationsDo not use Helvetica fontMake sure the text can be read from the back of a room
Too many words or points on one slide make the presentation boring. People will be less likely listen to you if they are reading the slides.The slides are meant to support the narration of the speaker, not to make the speaker unnecessary.
Graphics are a great way to highlight points, explain concepts visually, or just add some visual interest to your presentationAvoid using Clip Art or other cartoons because they can come off as cheesy
Use animation such as builds and slide transitions sparinglySome animation is good, but make sure it is more subtle and professionalToo many sounds and videos can take away from the presentationBy using them sparingly they will have more impact when they are used
Color is emotional and evokes feelingsColor can add a certain atmosphere to your presentation or highlight important pointsUsing the right color can help to persuade and motivate your audienceIn a dark room, a dark background with white or light text is useful.In a light room, a white or light background with dark text works better
Include appropriate charts and graphs that clearly portray your dataUseful charts include pie charts, vertical bar charts, horizontal bar charts, and line charts. Make sure charts are not too complicated for the audience to understand
Use the slide sorter view so that you can see how the logical flow of your presentation is progressing.This view allows you to see extraneous information and helps you to organize your presentation
The templates in PowerPoint have been seen by your audience many times beforeMake something unique and new to impress your audience
The way you present your PowerPoint is very importantThe PowerPoint is meant to accompany and add to your speaking, not to make it irrelevantThe PowerPoint should not be the main focus, you and what you’re saying should be most important
If you don’t, your audience won’t be enthusiastic about the subject eitherPick something you are interested in and passionate aboutYour energy will energize the audience
Even if you don’t feel confident, act like you are“Fake it till you make it”Confidence can be shown through posture, tone and volume of voice, and eye contactConfidence shows the audience that you know what you’re taking about and that you want to be there presenting to them
Practice might not make perfect, but it will make you much more comfortable when it comes time to present.Rehearse out loud and revise as necessaryIf you have a set amount of time for your presentation, practice with a timer
Eye contact shows that you are confident and comfortableThe audience is more likely to pay attention if they feel like your are talking directly to them
If you speak too fast and do not enunciate, the audience may not hear what you are sayingMumbling and rambling on and on can make it difficult for the audience to understand what you sayYou want it to be easy for the audience to understand what you say
Make sure that the people in the back can hear you, but don’t be so loud that you appear to be shouting.Varying your pitch and volume and pace can be helpful for emphasizing certain words and ideas
When gesturing, make sure that it is natural and spontaneousMaintain an upright, but relaxed posture while speakingGenerally stay off to the side, but moveOccasionally move towards the audience or towards one side or the otherIf the speaker is completely stationary a talk can seem slow moving and boring
Keep calmKnow that your audience wants you to succeed
