Welcome to ACOEP Presentation Uploads

Many experts agree that your font size for a PowerPoint presentation should be at least 30pt. Sticking to this guideline ensures your text is readable. It also forces you, due to space limitations, to explain your message efficiently and include only the most important points.

Also remember to use standard fonts.  Custom fonts do not always transfer over correctly to the presentation laptop.

Please use the recommended ACOEP templates for your presentation.  These have been provided via email.  If you need the templates re-sent, please contact info@acoep.org

One of the cardinal sins of a bad PowerPoint is cramming too many details and ideas on one slide, which makes it difficult for people to retain information. Leaving lots of “white space” on a slide helps people focus on your key points.

This is one of the most critical slide design tips. Slides are simplified, visual notecards that capture and reinforce main ideas, not complete thoughts.

Limit the number of slides according to the time you have available for the presentation. Flipping to the next slide constantly and rushing through the presentation not only distracts the audience, but typically does not get your message across. 

To limit last minute updates, be sure to proofread your presentation or have someone else review it before you submit.
