HOW TO PREPARE YOUR PRESENTATION

PowerPoint Instructions

Pictures/Videos

• JPG images are the preferred file format for inserted images. GIF, TIF or BMP formats will be accepted as well. Images inserted into PowerPoint are embedded into the presentations.
• Images that are created at a dpi setting higher than 200 dpi are not necessary and will only increase the file size of your presentation. Try to avoid overloading your presentation with unnecessary images.
• In case you have any videos in your presentation - please test your presentation with the onsite PC several hours before your presentation. Generally, the MPEG-1 and AVI format should work with no difficulties.
