Presentation Guidelines
- Presentation MUST be submitted in 16:9 PowerPoint format – we change format to .pdf for print (see bottom of page)
- Use event slide template (coming soon) – the TITLE & CLOSING SLIDE must be on the event template provided. The template is optional for all other slides, i.e., you may use your company template for the content slides.
- 1st Slide = ICMI slide (provided in the template)
- 2nd Slide = FINAL session title in brochure, speaker name(s),title, company (establish your credibility on topic)
- 3rd Slide = Session Description or Agenda/Objectives (what you’re presenting/facilitating)
- Communicate objectives and set the expectation with your audience at the beginning
- Last Slide – “Thank you for attending this session. Please complete your session evaluation form”
- Font size on slides = greater than 20 points – we recommend 24 point Calibri or Arial for legibility on the screen
- # Slides– speaker should be able to address content on one slide in 3 min; otherwise, you may have too much text on the slide, graphs and charts are best on their own slide for visibility from the back of the room
- Main Sessions = should have no more than 20 slides
- Workshops = 60 slides MAX
- Note: ICMI, Title slide, and Closing slide are not included in these assumptions; charts/graphs might add a few)
