Say you have 6 main areas that you’ll be covering. So, ALWAYS include only the most important sections of the presentation in your agenda slide. You might have had great insights to share with your listeners but you scared them with “information overload”. If this part, however, is botched up with a chaotic slide that has way too many sections and subsections, you have lost your audience even before you could introduce yourself. It also gives a structure to your talk, which otherwise can become a rambling affair.

It’s like a little warm-up exercise for the audience. So when you advance to further segments in your talk, the audience recall that it was second, third or fourth on your agenda list.īut first ask yourself- Do I really need an agenda slide in my presentation? Well yes, if you are presenting at a conference with many topics to cover, it’s advisable as well as expected that the audience have a little idea beforehand of what key areas you are going to throw light on. It positively primes your audience as to what they would be getting out of your talk- the key takeaways.

Why are we talking about priming here? Your agenda slide serves the same purpose in your presentation.
