CONTENT

• Present NEW DATA ONLY.
• Do not include any background to the research or reviews of previous studies as this will be covered by the session chairperson as necessary.
• Make your title short to summarise the message of the research.
• Do not include references unless it is imperative.
• Do not present overly complicated figures that need extensive explanation. Presenters who are involved in oral communication or short oral presentation sessions will not have time to explain these fully.
• Check your presentation carefully to ensure no typographical or style errors.
• Images should be JPEG or PNG only.

EMBEDDED MOVIES AND VIDEO FILES

• Embedded video clips can be included in your slides. 
• Most video file types are accepted as embedded video clips, e.g. MP4, MPEG, WMV, AVI, QUICKTIME.
• The final file size of your presentation will be impacted by video clips, so ensure these are minimised in size as far as possible. Please see your presentation type section (OC, VP, Invited talk) for final presentation file sizes.
• Example poster with a video: Click here.

LAYOUT

• Keep slides simple and concise – do not present too much information on any one slide.
• As far as possible use just one or two colours on a plain coloured background for maximum impact.
• Put any conclusions/summaries in a prominent panel.
• If you have little experience in preparing PowerPoint presentations use the template provided.

FONT

• Use as large a font as possible and no less than 16 point.
• Avoid capital letters except at the beginning of sentences and proper nouns.
• Avoid underlining.
• Use a bolder, larger typeface for the main titles and headings. It can be effective to use a different typeface for headings and subheadings.
