Guidelines for preparing your presentation charts
Full paper presentations should be 17 minutes long and will be followed by 3 minutes Questions-Answers.
Short paper presentations should be 7 minutes long and will be followed by a poster sessions. So, authors of short papers are expected to prepare and print an A1 poster with portrait orientation.
- Use large, bold fonts as much as possible
- Use fonts that display well at low resolution. Sans serif fonts such as “Helvetica” work better than ones with detailed features such as “Times”
- Avoid using busy foils; incorporate one idea per slide and use less text and more pictures
- Avoid using the bottom of slides since the rooms are flat
- Use simple and contrasting colors. Avoid using red over blue or vice versa
- Pay attention to contrast, employ light-on-dark, or dark-on-light in all text and diagrams
