Disclosure
ECTS requests that all presenters include details of any
potential conflicts of interest on their slides or posters. You must include
details of any company support given, whether in conducting the research,
analysing the data or preparing the presentation.
Slide content and design
- Material on slides must be of an adequate size to be seen clearly
by all delegates.
- It is recommended that each slide contains no more than seven lines
of text and no more than seven words per line.
- If showing graphs, tables or charts:
- Do not make them too crowded
- Complex figures should be broken up into series
- Limit the number of captions
- Use rounded figures
- As a rough guide, we suggest you allow no more than two slides per
minute of your talk.
- Slides are easier to read when there is a high contrast between the
text and the background. Yellow or white text on a mid to dark blue
background works particularly well. Avoid black text on a white background
(eg photographs of typed pages).
