In short
A recap helps people who could not go, and shows what you took from the event. It is most useful while people still talk about the event, so speed beats polish.
Steps
- Gather your notes as typed text, a Word file or a text file. Photos of handwritten pages can be attached as images too; the designer reads them.
- Write who each idea came from. Credit speakers by name, and say when a slide paraphrases them.
- Attach your own photos from the event and say which slide each goes on.
- Generate, then check names and quotes.
A structure
| Slide | What goes on it |
|---|---|
| 1 | The event and the one idea that stuck with you |
| 2 to 6 | One idea per slide, with the speaker's name |
| 7 | What you will do differently |
| 8 | A question for people who were there |
Credit and permission
- Name the speakers on the slides and tag them in the post text.
- Use your own photos. Photos of a speaker's slides show their work, so ask before posting them.
- Keep quotes word for word, or mark them as paraphrased.
Questions
Can I make one carousel per talk?
Yes. Make the first, then use it as a template so the series looks the same.
Can it be in the event's language?
Write the brief in that language and the carousel follows. A finished carousel can also be translated into other languages.
My notes are messy. Is that a problem?
No. Say what the carousel should cover and the designer picks the ideas from the notes. Check that nothing was attributed to the wrong speaker.
