Tips for presenting an oral
Designing your presentation
- PowerPoint (PPT) will be supported. If you wish to use another program such as Prezi or Keynote, or will be bringing a Mac, please advise the Leishman Associates team so the information can be passed on to the venue’s audio-visual team.
- Presentation slides should be in the widescreen format of 16:9.
- There is no requirement to use the event-branded template PPT slide.
- If you have audio and/or video in your presentation, please ensure you have the files saved separately, as embedding the media does not always include them in the PowerPoint file. This will allow the technical team to re-embed and/or change the format of the video onsite if needed.
- If you are using custom fonts not found in the standard system fonts, please use the “Embed fonts in file” feature found in Save As/tools/save options. This will ensure that your fonts travel with the PowerPoint file when saved.
- Please ensure the contents of your presentation, including photos, data, graphs etc., are generated by you, referenced, or that the appropriate owner has granted you permission to include their work for educational purposes.
