Power Point Presentation Guidelines

Your effort in producing your PowerPoint presentation will be wasted if your audience cannot read it! Therefore, please pay particular attention to the following rules:

All presentations must be made and held in English. The use of an interpreter is not permitted.
Use the provided conference speaker template.
Avoid corporate advertising in your presentation.
7×7 guideline: A maximum of seven words per line and seven lines per slide will improve the communication value of your slide.
Edit titles and long sentences to fit into only one line.
Use only one sub-level.
Boldface text carries more weight.
Use color with purpose, not as decoration.
Do not use footnotes.
Visual aids used in a presentation must be as simple as possible, you will have to eliminate all unnecessary details.
How many slides? Better to have more slides with less information on each slide, than fewer more detailed slides, but keep your time schedule in mind; too many slides hinder you from finishing in time; you should have sufficient time to explain every slide without speaking too fast due to time pressure.

Technical Guidelines

Your presentation should be PC formatted, not Mac formatted, please ensure your files are PC-compatible.
Your presentation should be prepared in PowerPoint 2010 or higher.
Please use only our PowerPoint template to prepare your presentation; the PowerPoint template should be used in conjunction with this guide when developing your presentation.

Use high-contrast letters and readable standard font as provided in the conference speaker template (minimum font size 24)
Use high-contrast colors: Light text on a dark background or vice versa.

Your Presentation during the Conference
