5. Any Speaker needing to make updates to their slides after the August 2nd deadline must turn them in to AFCOM for approval on or before August 9th, 2010. All changes must be approved by AFCOM. Please note that any changes made after this date will not be on the Memory Stick provided to the attendees and the speaker will have to advise the attendees of the change and it is recommended to print this updated information out to have available for the attendees onsite.
6. Please adhere to the following requirements and guidelines when creating the PowerPoint presentation.
These guidelines are in place so that your slides are legible and easy to reference if the attendee wants to print it out for reference. The biggest complaint in speaker evaluations is that their slides are not legible due to dark backgrounds or graphics.
• Light or no background versions of the PowerPoint are preferred.
• Do not use page numbers
• Use only black or dark text
• Use large text wherever possible
• Only use graphics that are clear and legible
• Do not use graphics that cover text
• E-mail the PowerPoint presentation(s) to: confserv@afcom.com.
• “Zip” all electronic files
• Company name/logo can only appear on the first slide and last slide
• No other handout materials can be distributed to your session attendees without prior AFCOM review and approval.
• Test the legibility of your slide by printing them 6-up to a page.
