Presentation Preparation Guidelines
All presenters must prepare their slides in Microsoft PowerPoint 2000 or later (Windows OS) using the 16:9 widescreen format. Slide decks must be named using the following convention:
<Reference Number>_<First Name>_<Presentation Title>
Example: S01.01_Joe_Test Title Slide
Important: Presenters are required to bring their final presentation file on a USB drive and upload it directly onto the laptop provided in their session room, either before the start of the conference or during scheduled breaks. If you are using an Apple device, please bring the appropriate HDMI or USB-C adaptor.
To ensure a seamless presentation experience, please follow the guidelines below:
- Set your slide size to “On-screen Show (16:9)” in landscape orientation.
- Use high-contrast colors and avoid red text or lines, which may be hard to see on large screens.
- Keep text minimal: no more than 10 lines or 15–20 words per slide.
- Avoid reading directly from your slides; use them to support your spoken message, not replace it.
- Do not use special characters in your file name (e.g., “, Ö, Ø, ñ, ?, ®, }, {) to prevent compatibility issues.
- Use standard fonts like Arial, Geneva, Times New Roman, or Helvetica. If custom fonts are used, embed them into your file.
- Include a mandatory disclosure slide, even if you have no conflicts of interest.
- Aim for one slide per minute to maintain audience engagement.
- Ensure your presentation has a logical flow, highlighting key messages and ending with 2–3 take-home points.
Keeping your slides clear, concise, and visually engaging will greatly enhance the impact of your presentation.
