Before you begin preparing the presentation, you'll need to determine:
1. The type of talk you will be expected to give:
o will this be an informal chat, a seminar discussion, or a more formal presentation?
o different talks have different purposes; the intent of a conference presentation is not the same as a job talk. When in doubt, ask for guidance from your host.
2. The composition of the audience:
o will you be speaking to a general audience or specialists?
o how many people are expected to attend?
o is this likely to be a friendly audience? An interactive audience?
3. The time allotted for the talk:
o the longer the talk, the more freedom you will have to explore the topic
o a short talk needs to be very clear and to address the topic directly
o is question time included?
4. Expectations for information content:
o is there a specific purpose for having you give a talk? Clarify the expectations beforehand and plan to address them during the presentation.

o will you be presenting novel concepts to this audience, or building upon their prior knowledge? Either way, make sure you cover the basics clearly, and early in the talk, to avoid loosing the audience.
