Slide Presentation Guidelines

Remember, English is not the first language of many ICPE attendees; keep slides simple.
The first slide should give the title of the presentation and list all speakers with affiliation.
The second slide should be the ISPE Disclosure slide. ISPE policy requires that all presenters at the conference must disclose financial and other interests of each author/presenter that may pose a conflict of interest or an appearance of a conflict of interest.
Select a readable font, such as Calibri or Arial, in which all letters are easily recognizable with minimal confusion; avoid script and italic fonts and very small type (18 point or larger is recommended). Do not use all capitals except for titles.
Backgrounds should be consistent and subtle.
Dark text on light backgrounds is usually easiest to read.
Try to limit each slide to one unified idea.
Generally, six (6) words per line and no more than six (6) lines per slide.
Avoid abbreviations and acronyms.
Use color and variety to maintain interest.
Use pictures, graphs, charts and figures, but keep them bold, simple and containing only essential details.
Spell check your slides.

Rehearse your presentation with the slides, give attention to timing. (Oral presentations have a total of 15 minutes; 10 for presentation & 5 for questions.)
Do not read from your slides - slides are enhancements to help the audience understand.
Give a brief overview first, then present; finally, review important points.
Often more effective is to have bulleted points appear one at a time so audience does not read ahead.
Speak clearly and slowly. Remember, English is not the first language of many ICPE attendees.
