When choosing what format in which to produce your visual aids, please keep the following in
mind.
- 35mm slides are the easiest to use and have a highly professional look.
- If slides do not seem a viable option, then you can produce your
visuals using a Presentation
Software package (like MS Powerpoint) and bring both a licensed copy of the application and
the file containing your slides. We will not be providing presentation software on the
conference-supplied computers.
- You may bring your own computer and run data projection directly from it.
- Overhead transparencies are acceptable.
You may want to have these produced in color by a copy shop.

All specificationss apply to 5"w x 3 5/16"h artwork.
- Trademarks
- Copyright and trademark items on the first occurrence in a slide presentation,
should appear using a
symbol. The footnotes for trademark information (item and company name)
are listed on one slide. List trademarks alphabetically. This slide must be
shown at the end of the presentation.
