The following information is designed to help you prepare your visuals for a quality, professional presentation. Remember that LARGE AND LESS IS BETTER and all visuals MUST BE DEVOID OF CORPORATE NAMES/LOGOS (except for title slide) AND BRAND NAMES.

• PowerPoint Slide Presentations
• Prepare your PPT in the ratio of 4:3 (16:9 is available at Plenary session because LED can be Divi-Screen Displayed at 4:3 or 16:9 ratio)
• Design slides that can be seen from the back row of the room
• For the maximum effect, use 10 or fewer words on a slide
• Avoid using more than six words per line or eight to 10 lines of type per visual
• Use strong, bold san serif typefaces for reading ease. Don’t use all capitals; provide ample spacing between words and letters
• Leave space at least the height of the capital letter between line
• Lower case letters are more legible than capitals
• Vary the size of type on your visual to illustrate relative importance of information
• Contrast is important. In general, use dark colors for the background and light colors for text and graphics.
• Limit each slide to one main idea
• Graphs and charts should be simple
• Include titles to supplement, not duplicate, slide data
• Use duplicates if you need to refer to the same slide at different times in your presentations
• Plan your slides for a good visual place in your presentation. Don’t leave a slide on the screen after discussing it.

Poster Presentations

English is the official language of the congress. According to the availability of meeting room and depending on the final program, posters are expected to have five-minute oral talk by roughly a 4-to-6-page slide in the assigned sessions.
