  4. The total time allotted to each speaker is 10 minutes followed by 4 minutes for questions and answers.

Suggestions for Oral Presentation

  1. Display one slide of speaking time per minute. This means approximately 10-12 slides for the 12 minutes presentation.
  2. We recommend a 16:9 presentation format (4:3 is also acceptable).
  3. Make the letters on the slides large enough to be clearly visible, a suggested minimum font is 14.
  4. Put no more than 12 text lines to any slide.
  5. Keep your presentation as simple as possible to avoid hardware and software conflicts, especially with the use of animation, transition, audio, and video.
  6. If you need to use audio or video files, you will need to embed them in the PowerPoint.
  7. Reduce picture resolution to Web/Screen display size. This will allow easier upload, sharing, and a good resolution.
