Speaker Resources

During the conference, Esri staff will be available inside the presentation room to assist you with questions related to your presentation.

Equipment for Presentation Rooms

The following equipment will be in the presentation room:

We recommend that all speakers bring their presentation on a flash drive.

Each presentation room will have access to one hard-wired Internet connection and a wireless Internet network.

Keep in mind how far away the audience is likely to be.
Try to keep text size at least 18 to 20 points for readability. If you can't fit everything on a slide that size, you should break it into two or more slides.
Use high contrast colors. Don't use red, dark green, or black text or graphics against darker backgrounds. Best colors are white, yellow, light green, and aqua (light blue).
Make sure arrows and other connectors between graphics also have high contrast.
Do not overdo animation on slides. If you have an animation, try to keep the number of mouse clicks per slide to a minimum and practice with your slides the day before your session to be familiar with the interaction.
Use slides with a 4:3 ratio.
All embedded videos should be in the WMV format.

Note: Esri does not provide a PowerPoint template for your presentation.
