SLIDE PREPARATION

• General Guidelines: 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 and ensure that each slide does not contain so much data/images/pictures that it is confusing or overwhelming for the viewer.
• 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: Day of Presentation, Last Name, Room Name, Presentation Title (i.e. Thursday, November 18-Doe – Wicklow Hall 2B – Presentation Title).
• Videos: Embed your video within your presentation and bring a backup of your video as a separate file on your USB drive. Internet will not be available onsite.
• Animations/Transitions: Ensure that your presentation does NOT have a preset timer to advance slides.

ON SITE SLIDE DELIVERY

Please plan to visit the onsite Speaker Ready Room a minimum of 24 hours prior to your session time. If your session is taking place in less than 24 hours, we will not accept any changes.
