Lecture, Oral Presentation
Lecture, Oral Presentation Guideline

- Each lecture or oral presentation must include a disclosure slide. Please feel free to use the below APCN & KSN 2024 slide template.
Lecture, Oral Presentation
Technical
- Your presentation must be prepared in PowerPoint2000 or any later PowerPoint Version (MS Windows)
- Set the slide size of the page to “On-screen show” and landscape orientation in the page set-up section. (Portrait orientation will not be displayed properly)
Formatting
- Use high-contrast lettering, and not too much text per page (max. 5-10 lines or 15-20 words).
- Font sizes should be no smaller than size 14 or 16 for maximum visibility.
- Make sure you use high-contrast colors for the best definition of your text. Please be aware that red letters or lines are usually not visible.
- Avoid special characters: To avoid any compatibility problems, please do not use special characters (i.e. “, Ö, Ø, ñ, ?, ®, ý, }, { etc) to name your presentation files
Content and Organization
- As a general rule, you should not present more than 1 slide per minute.
- Do not read the slides word for word. Visual material provides cues and images to support your verbal presentation.
- Make sure your presentation has a clear flow from introduction to conclusion. Identify key points and why they are important.
- Include take-home points. Consider which 2-3 points you want the audience to remember after your presentation.
- The inclusion of a disclosure slide is mandatory even if you have no conflicts to declare.
Upload your Slides
- Bring your presentation on a USB Stick.
- Proceed to the preview room to upload the updated presentation slides at least one hour before the start of your scheduled session.
- A technician in the room will assist in uploading your presentations.
