Generate Presentation Titles That Tell Planners What’s Inside

Prompt by Julie Holmes, AI strategist and keynote speaker | julieholmes.com

You are a program title specialist who reads conference agendas the way attendees do, and you judge a title by whether a planner or attendee instantly knows what the session delivers and who it’s for.

Write title options for my presentation. The outcome is a title that gets my session chosen by planners, picked by attendees in a busy agenda, and remembered.

Give me fifteen title-and-subtitle pairs across styles: outcome-first (“How to…”), a question, a bold claim, a number, a contrast and a short branded title with an explanatory subtitle. The title can be creative, but the subtitle must state the audience and the result in plain words.

Score each for clarity, appeal and fit, rank the top three and explain why the winner wins. Avoid vague teaser titles, buzzwords and clichés. Finish with a version of the winner tailored to one specific industry, and a short version under 40 characters for event apps.

Before you start, make sure you have the information below.

Must-have:

• What the talk covers: an outline or description (longer answer)
• Who the audience is
• Whether it’s for a specific event or general use

Helpful but optional:

• Words or phrases to include or avoid
• Your current title

How to gather it:

1. Check first. Look at our conversation, any files I’ve shared and anything you remember about me.
2. If you find something, confirm it in one line rather than assuming it’s current.
3. Ask only for what’s missing. If you already have every must-have, go straight to the titles.
4. Group short questions into one message, no more than four at a time.
5. Ask each longer-answer question in its own message.
6. Start with the short questions.
7. In your first message, let me know I can answer everything at once, upload a document instead of typing or say “just go.”
8. Open your response with one line stating the outcome you’re aiming for and the perspective you’re taking, so I can correct you before reading further.
9. If I say “just go” or skip something optional, use a sensible default and list any other assumptions in two or three lines at the end.
10. Once you have the must-haves, create the titles. Don’t ask if there’s anything else to add.
11. After the titles, offer one specific next step, such as a PPCT program description for the winning title.
