Speaker PPT

Your Oral Presentation must be 20 minutes in length including time for questions at the end. 

Videos are to be embedded in your slide rather than inputted as external links.

Note: PowerPoint presentations are required in 16:9 (widescreen) format. Please feel free to contact the team should you require assistance with ensuring your presentation is in this format. 

Tips for Creating your PowerPoint Presentation

Body Text:

• Use a font that is easy to read. Arial, Verdana or Calibri tend to be the easiest to read on screens
• Font should be no smaller than 18pt
• Align text left. Centered text is harder to read
• Write in point form, not complete sentences
• Include 4-5 bullet points per slide
• Avoid wordiness and clutter: A headline, a few bullet points, maybe an image – anything more than that and you risk losing your audience.

Headings:

• Heading font should be bigger than your body text.

Colour:

• Put dark text on a white background. This is easiest to read. If you must use a dark background – for instance, if your company uses a standard template with a dark background – make sure your text is quite light (white, cream or light grey) and increase the font size.

Images, Charts and Diagrams:

• A chart, diagram or image can often convey much more to your audience than text
• Don’t use low resolutions images as these can appear blurry on the screen.

Slide Timing:

• Use 1-2 slides per minute of your presentation

On arrival at the conference, please proceed to the registration desk to collect your name badge and meet with the Conference Organisers (Iceberg Events). Refer to the program page of the website to view the operating times of the registration desk. 

All presenters are to see the AV Technical Director to provide their final presentation files. This should be done during the following times (based on when your session is scheduled):

1. If your session is one of the first sessions of the day - see the AV team at least 30 minutes before the first session of the day starts, or the day prior if available. The AV team is available from the time registration desk opens (refer to the program for this information).

2. If your session is later in the day - see the AV team during a catering break prior to your session. 

Please wait by the stage area 15 minutes prior to your presentation to meet with the chairperson of your session to discuss introductions and the use of the equipment. It is the speaker’s responsibility to be in the session room and to identify themselves at the start of the scheduled.
