→DO
* Do use capital and lower case letters. Make limited use of ALL CAPS as it is difficult to read.
* Do use a large font size (24 point, minimum).
* Do share slides. Some of us like to follow along on our computers. Slides should be linked from the conference schedule. Also consider giving a URL to slides, perhaps on your title slide.* Do leave time for questions. The 20 minute slots include the ENTIRE talk WITH questions and set-up time.
===DON'T===
* Don't plan on more than about one slide per minute of your talk. (There can be exceptions if you talk to and instruct from a particularly important slide.) Limit each slide to one main idea. If you have more than 50 slides, your presentation may be too long.
* Don't copy all or a large part of a printed (or typed) page. Cut out or copy just the excerpt you need to use and arrange it on a page with other graphics or personal lettering for proper highlight or emphasis.
* Don't use long columns, figures or big tabulations. Include Link to these items in handouts.
* Don't use dark or solid background for your handout slides. Dark or solid background tend to create printing problems, especially for people using inkjet printers. You may use a different background for the slides used during the presentation.
* Please be considerate to the people in the audience by NOT placing important information on the bottom 25% of the slide. Some people may not be able to see it from the seats in the rear of the room.
