Each slide should be concise, uncluttered and readable from a distance; include only key words
and phrases for visual reinforcement. Avoid lengthy text.
AV Set up
Basic AV setup will be provided: laser
pointer, cordless mike, desktop mike, basic sound system.
If you have any audio/video to be
played, they should be checked in with the AV team 24 hours before your presentation.
Upload your presentation at least 3 days
before traveling to the conference venue.
Go to the presentation upload site and upload your presentation slides
Use the email address you provided when
submitting your abstract. Once logged in, follow the instructions on the screen.
You can also email the presentation to
the designated conference email ID.
All presentations will be downloaded to
your session room on the day of your presentation.
The presentations will be loaded prior
to your session with the name "first name_last name and date / session".
OR upload your presentation at the registration desk:
It is recommended to upload your
presentation 3 days before the conference start date. If you are unable to send it, you can
always upload your presentation (save the presentation on a USB Flash drive) at the lectern
during the break preceding your scheduled presentation. The USB Flash drive will be scanned
before transferring the presentation to the presentation folder.
Once you have completed your
presentation it will be permanently removed. (Optionally it may be selected for the
presentation library maintained by USG.)
Considerations for PC Users [create on
PC then move to Mac]
Appropriate extension usage: use .PPTX,
.PPSX if saving from PowerPoint 2007/2008/2010/2011 format or use .PPT or .PPS if saving to
an earlier-version format or saving from an earlier version.
Copy the media file to the folder where
the PowerPoint file is, and only then insert it; otherwise links to most media files will
break.
AVI or MPEG are better choice files for
videos or sounds; don't use WMV (Windows Media Player).
Usage of fonts: Arial, Times New Roman,
Courier and Symbol are best presented on MACS.
Don't squeeze your text into
placeholders: Text rendering on PC vs MAC (font substitution) can cause your squeezed text
to get cut off by text boxes.
