Slide Preparation

• General Guidelines: As a general guideline, consider no more than 1 - 2 slides for each minute of presentation time. Please work to make your slides easy to read, using sharply contrasting text on your chosen background. Select a font and size that will be easily readable in a large room and ensure that each slide does not contain so much data/images/pictures that it is confusing or overwhelming for the audience.
• Template: There is not a meeting-specific template that you must use.
• Format: We will only accept slides in PowerPoint (.ppt or .pptx). If you are using Apple/Keynote, you will need to convert your presentation to PowerPoint prior to submitting your slides.
• Ratio: 16:9
• Presenter View: This will not be available, please plan accordingly.
• File Naming: Please use this file naming convention: Title of Session, Day of Presentation, Last Name (i.e. Session 1-Thursday-Doe).
