Resources for 2026 DLF Forum Presenters
Preparing for a virtual presentation can feel like juggling tabs, tech, and timing all at once. These resources will help you design an engaging, accessible, and useful session.
Virtual Forum: October 14–15, 2026
What Makes a Strong DLF Forum Session?
Participatory
Sessions should actively involve participants through discussion, collaboration, and shared exploration.
Inclusive
Welcome diverse perspectives, experience levels, and institutional contexts.
Action-Oriented
Provide clear takeaways participants can apply in their own work.
We also welcome presentations from the commercial sector that contribute knowledge, lessons learned, and community value rather than promoting specific products.

Creating Accessible Presentations
Accessibility is central to the DLF Forum. Use these resources to ensure your session is inclusive and effective for all participants.
We strongly encourage presenters to:

- Share materials in advance
- Use clear language and structure
Design for engagement:
- Build in time for questions
- Offer multiple ways to participate
- Consider low-bandwidth options
