Content Organization
- Plan one slide per minute: 8 to 12 slides for Contributed Oral, and up to 25 slides per Invited Oral.
- Carefully budget your time. Allocate at least one minute to describe the problem clearly enough for the audience to appreciate the value of your contribution.
- Make sure the audience walks away understanding the five things any listener to a presentation really cares about:
- What is the problem and why?
- What has been done about it?
- What is the presenter doing (or has done) about it?
- What additional value does the presenter’s approach provide?
- Where do we go from here?
Fonts

- Select font size to be visible over the whole room. We recommend font 24. Do not use fonts less than 18 points.
- Consider font embedding to ensure that characters display properly.
- Use larger fonts to indicate importance.
- Use different sizes and styles (e.g., bold) for impact. Avoid italicized fonts as these are difficult to read quickly.
