during your session. If you are scheduled as a morning speaker,
we ask that you check-in at the Speaker Ready Room the DAY PRIOR to your
session. If you are scheduled as an afternoon speaker, we ask
that you visit the day prior or no later than 9am the day of your
session. This presentation will be downloaded to the computer in the
meeting room for use by you during your session. Your specific meeting
room assignment will also be confirmed with you during this process.
PRESENTATION TIPS
- Powerpoint format is preferred. If you will not be using
Powerpoint, please advise ASAP.
- Maintain consistency among your slides – limit fonts to two, use
“common” standard fonts like Times New Roman, Helvetica or Arial. Use
contrasting color for backgrounds and text (preferably a dark
background with light text).
- Fonts should be no smaller than 24 points – never reduce font size
to fit all words on one slide...create bullet points or use an
additional slide. If you can easily read your slide while holding it
at arm’s length, your text is large enough.
- Never used red text in a projected slideshow. White and yellow
work best. And try not to use all capital letters as they are harder
to read.
- Plan your talk and the number of slides to allow for a relaxed
pace. One slide per one to three minutes is a good rule.
