Presentation

Technical guidelines for preparation of your presentations

Use simple slide layout. Do not use serif-type fonts, do not combine red lettering on black background, though it may look great on your screen. Be sure your design/lettering is visible from far distance, never use fonts below 20 pt. If your presentation comprises sounds and/or animations (video) please provide these files along with the original presentation file. We want your presentations to look great! The default projector resolution is 1024 x 768, so try to adjust your presentations accordingly.
For those who need technical advice on adjusting the resolution: in PowerPoint select "Slide Show", then "Set Up Show" and in "Performance" click "Use hardware graphic acceleration" and in "Slide show resolution" select 1024 x 768 from the menu. Then click "OK".

Posters

Please, make posters no larger than 80 x 100 cm. Posters 70 x 100 cm are preferred. Make sure your text is easy to reed (20 pt at least).
