PRESENTATION TIPS
Tips for creating your PowerPoint Presentation:
- Videos are to be embedded into your slide rather than inputted as external links
- PowerPoint presentations are required in 16:9 (widescreen) format. Please feel free to contact Amy here should you require assistance with ensuring your presentation is in this format
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 light 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 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 resolution images as these can appear blurry on the screen
Slide Timing:
- Use 1-2 slides per minute of your presentation
VIRTUAL POSTER DISPLAY
Your virtual poster will be displayed on the screen inside the exhibition area where all meal breaks will be held.
It is recommended you use a PowerPoint slide for your virtual poster. Your poster is required to be 16:9 (widescreen) format. Please contact Amy here should you require assistance with ensuring your presentation is in this format.
