Please refer to the program for the duration of your presentation. Each session will end with a q&a panel where all speakers from the session will be invited back onto the stage for questions from the audience.

All presentations must be created using Microsoft PowerPoint. Videos are to be embedded in your slide rather than inputted as external links.

PowerPoint presentations are required in 16:9 (widescreen) 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
