Notes to presenters

1. Try to use landscape format where possible which is similar to the human vision. Avoid vertical slides and transparencies.

2. Use color wherever possible.

3. Put your organization's name (University's name) at the bottom corners of each slide and maybe your own name.

4. The first, should should have the name of your presentation, your name and possibly the conference name and date.

5. Do not use too many equations. The audience can always read them in the paper if necessary.

6. Have between 3-5 points per slide. More than 5 is too many and you should use a second slide.

7. Allow 2-3 minutes per slide and remember. To pause so the audience can read the whole slide. Do not block part of the slide or transparency (i.e. by standing in front of the projector or by design (if you wish to present parts of it later on),

8. Remember that a picture or graph is very informative. Check beforehand that your visual aids are of good quality and that they can be read from a distance.

9. Turn the slide and overhead projectors off if they are not being used for your presentation.

10 Use the pointer as much as possible and always try to face the audience as much as possible.
