ORAL PRESENTATION INSTRUCTIONS

Your Oral Presentation must be 20 minutes or 30 minutes in length (please check your allocated timings in the congress program) with an appropriate number of slides and include time for questions.

Note: PowerPoint presentations are required in 16:9 (widescreen) format. Please feel free to contact Bella Vardanega via bella@icebergevents.com.au should you require assistance with ensuring your presentation is in this format. 

We request that all presentations (i.e. PowerPoint presentation) be emailed to bella@icebergevents.com.au by Monday 24 September 2018.  A reminder email will be sent to you closer to the due date.

Tips for Creating your PowerPoint Presentation

Body Text:

• Use a font that is easy to read. Arial, Verdana or Calibri tend to be the easiest to read on screens
• Font should be no smaller than 18pt
• Align text left. Centered text is harder to read
• Write in point form, not complete sentences
• Include 4-5 bullet points per slide
• Avoid wordiness and clutter: A headline, a few bullet points, maybe an image – anything more than that and you risk losing your audience.

Headings:

• Heading font should be bigger than your body text.

Colour:

• Put dark text on a white background. This is easiest to read. If you must use a dark background – for instance, if your company uses a standard template with a dark background – make sure your text is quite light (white, cream or light grey) and increase the font size.

Images, Charts and Diagrams:

• A chart, diagram or image can often convey much more to your audience than text
• Don’t use low resolutions images as these can appear blurry on the screen.

Slide Timing:

• Use 1-2 slides per minute of your presentation
