INSTRUCTIONS FOR FORMATTING TALK SLIDES: 

Please use the following recommended presentation formats to maximize compatibility with our AV equipment 

Widescreen 16:9 slide format  

Dark text on a light background 

PowerPoint and Adobe PDF are recommended presentation programs. Supported file extensions include .ppt .pptx and .pdf 

Keynote presentations are not recommended as they can cause screen flicker

Name your presentation file as follows:     PresentationDay_PresentationTime_LastName_FirstName_OperatingSystem.FileExtension

Audio and video can be included in PowerPoint presentations. 

Additionally, any supplementary audio or video files can be submitted in a zipped folder. Use the file name above and add “_Suppl” to the end of the file name.

To make updates to a submitted presentation, repeat this process with the same filename.
